I'm the founder of Accounting Atelier, a boutique bookkeeping firm that works exclusively with law firms. My specialty is IOLTA trust accounting and compliance - the high-stakes financial requirements that keep attorneys up at night and that most general bookkeepers won't touch. Solo attorneys and small law firms face unique challenges. They're required to maintain separate trust accounts for client funds, reconcile them to the penny, and document everything for potential bar audits. One mistake can mean malpractice exposure or disciplinary action. I built my firm to handle exactly this - giving lawyers confidence that their books are compliant so they can focus on practicing law. My credentials include Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Bookkeeper Launch certification, Clio Certified Partner, and MyCase Partner. I work inside the practice management systems lawyers already use, which means cleaner data, better reporting, and less time wasted on manual reconciliation. Beyond law firm accounting, I can speak to small business bookkeeping broadly - cash flow management, financial reporting, outsourced bookkeeping models, QuickBooks best practices, the transition from DIY bookkeeping to professional support, and what business owners should look for when hiring a bookkeeper. I'm based in Wisconsin and serve law firms nationwide. I take a methodical, compliance-first approach to financial management - no shortcuts, no cleanup surprises, just clean books that hold up to scrutiny.
