Trust Account Reconciliation
Trust accounting becomes risky when deposits, earned fees, and disbursements have to be matched manually across bank records and matter ledgers. This automation compares transactions to client matters, identifies mismatches quickly, and produces a cleaner monthly reconciliation process.
How It Works
Import bank and ledger activity
Transactions from the trust account and the matter-ledger system are pulled into a single reconciliation workflow.
Match by client and matter
Deposits, transfers, and disbursements are matched against expected matter entries using reference numbers, client names, and dates.
Flag discrepancies
Unmatched transactions, negative balances, and timing differences are surfaced for the bookkeeper or attorney to review.
Publish the reconciliation packet
The workflow outputs a reconciliation summary with supporting detail for monthly review and audit readiness.
Tools & Platforms
Key Benefits
Reduces manual trust-account matching work Catches discrepancies before they become compliance issues Creates a clearer monthly audit trail Gives attorneys quicker visibility into matter balances
In Practice
A plaintiff firm receives multiple settlement deposits and fee transfers in the same week. The automation matches each movement to the correct client ledger and flags one disbursement that hit the wrong matter before the month-end trust reconciliation is signed off.
