Basics of Accounting and Best Practices for Small Law Firms
Length: 60 Minutes
Small law firms face unique problems that mid and large-sized law firms can solve with staffing. Solo practitioners, single owners, and multi-attorney practices, often wear many hats in addition to the title of attorney. Those hats usually include chief operating officer, chief financial officer, human resource director, and IT specialist, just to name a few. This CLE session will provide insights to assist you in the financial and operational best practices to make you more profitable and efficient in your day-to-day business.
Presented by LEAP Legal Software, featuring Scott Ross, firm consultant, and retired Certified Public Accountant, this one-hour seminar will provide general knowledge of accounting principles and provide operational best practices for small firm practitioners to improve your productivity and income generation.
