What Is QuickBooks Online for Law Firms?

QuickBooks Online is a customizable legal accounting software that integrates with numerous practice management software (such as Clio), providing users with comprehensive tools to track and manage their finances. With all the resources available in the QuickBooks ecosystem, this accounting tool is a must-have for managing your firm’s financials. 

The Advantages of QuickBooks Online Over QuickBooks Desktop

QuickBooks Online has several key advantages over QuickBooks Desktop:

  • Access on the go - As a cloud-based accounting software, you can access your QuickBooks Online file from any device and collaborate with your team in real-time
  • Business app integration - The online version integrates seamlessly with 700+ business apps, a number that far exceeds QuickBooks Desktop
  • Streamlined banking and accounting - QuickBooks Online allows you to automatically sync bank transactions and access a robust mobile app to streamline your accounting processes

Is QuickBooks Online Really Helpful for Law Firms?

QuickBooks Online offers a greater range of on-the-go features and, as detailed above, generally delivers greater overall value compared to its desktop version. 

QuickBooks Online provides law firms with various features to improve their financial workflow. Some of the key features include:

  • Attorney compensation tracking reports
  • Accounts receivable management
  • Expense organization
  • Loan and other liability tracking
  • Insights and reports
  • Free 30-day trial

It is important to note that many of the advantages of QuickBooks Online are contingent on your integration strategy. When leveraged correctly, the software can allow you to manage your financial matters effortlessly. What used to take days, weeks, or months happens in the blink of an eye. To fully tap into these benefits, it is critical to properly set up QuickBooks Online and remain current on its newest features.
