Trustbooks seamlessly systematizes required trust accounting processes to exacting Florida Bar standards, thus removing the need for an imperfect cobbling together of methodologies that, let’s be honest, many among us had failed to ever truly master. You don’t have to have a finance background or be an accountant to use Trustbooks. Bravo, Trustbooks, for modernizing trust accounting with a functional product that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Meet the three-way reconciliation, and change your life!

When I started my own law firm my biggest concern was trust accounting. I studied the rules, watched CLEs, etc. but still didn’t want to go it alone. Then I found Trustbooks. It took me less than 15 minutes to learn how to use it and now I don’t sweat trust accounting. I highly recommend Trustbooks to any lawyer who is responsible for overseeing a trust account.

TrustBooks has helped ease the pain of trust accounting for our firm. I love the Dashboard feature enabling me to see the latest transactions up front.  Editing transactions is super easy as well. The reconciliations are fabulous! Three-way reconciliations make my accounting so much easier on a monthly basis.  TrustBooks really took the worries away and made our trust accounting simpler and more efficient. The team at TrustBooks is always super friendly and helpful. I always feel like I am talking to a trusted friend. Thank you TrustBooks!
