Description

Self employed Attorneys and law firms have unique challenges that relate to the bookkeeping and record keeping standards set forth by the bar association and other regulating authorities.

The procedures you will learn in this course will enable you to keep records that will show you the results of your operations and be in compliance with the regulation for attorneys. You will learn: How to set up a file that is specifically designed for attorneys using quickbooks desktop for windows, how to record retainer payments from clients, how to record income earned for work done for a client, how to bill the client, how to adjust for a client who starts to pay late, calculate cost per client, calculate profit and loss by client, bill client for case related expenses and distribute cost to clients long after paying for the items or service (after the fact costing). The new quickbooks topics for lawyers include: Creating Attorney trust accounts for collecting on behalf of clients, refunds to clients, writing off uncollectable clients and attorney services with immidiate colections and sales receipts.

I know many attorneys who use these methods. They are simple to understand and easy to do. They will defiantly work for you!!This QuickBooks Learning Video Series is guaranteed to show every possible type of transaction that a law firm could need to enter in to QuickBooks. It has easy, step by step instructions and follow along files to help make learning easy and fun.

This course shows the special but simple ways that attorneys should and must use QuickBooks for their law firm. It is made with QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

This Course is A new and improved version of the previously successful course here on Udemy: QuickBooks For Landlords.

This course is completely re-vamped so that it includes EVERYTHING MY ATTORNEY STUDENTS ASKED ME TO ADD over the past 3 years.

This one starts with the very basics of the set up so you can hire a bookkeeper who knows nothing about QuickBooks and have her/him simply watch and follow these videos and they can be your law firm's bookkeeper!!

This version of the course is so good that I am asking all attorney students to help me make this an accredited course for continuing education credits to keep you license to practice law in your state.

There are 'follow along files" for each lecture so you can follow step by step. This makes learning QuickBooks Easy and fun.

The course is made with QuickBooks desktop for windows. However, the ideas apply to QuickBooks online as well as QuickBooks for Macintosh and Enterprise solutions.

I'm right here for you if you have any questions or need support. I hope you learn well and enjoy the course
