Accounting, Bookkeeping & Tax Services for Lawyers and Law Firms in Sydney

‍

Running a legal practice means balancing client matters, trust account obligations, and Law Society compliance — your finances shouldn't add to that pressure.

‍

Trinity Accounting Practice provides specialist accounting, bookkeeping, and tax services for lawyers, solicitors, and law firms across Sydney. With over 22 years of experience, we understand the regulatory and financial demands of the legal industry — from trust account reconciliation to partnership profit distribution.

‍

Why Law Firms Need a Specialist Accountant

‍

Legal practices face financial challenges that general accountants often overlook. Trust account compliance alone requires precision and up-to-date knowledge of Law Society requirements — and that's before you factor in retainer management, partner drawings, and complex fee structures.

‍

We help law firms manage:

‍

• Trust account compliance and reconciliation to Law Society standards
• Legal retainer and fee structure management
• GST, BAS, and income tax obligations
• Payroll for partners, associates, and support staff
• Expense tracking and profit distribution across partners
• Business structuring — sole practitioner, partnership, or incorporated legal practice

‍

We take care of the financial detail so you can focus on your clients.

‍

Bookkeeping & Payroll for Law Firms

‍

Accurate bookkeeping is non-negotiable in legal practice. A single trust account error can trigger a Law Society audit. Our bookkeepers keep your firm compliant and your records audit-ready.

‍

• Trust accounting and Law Society compliance reporting
• Payroll management including partner drawings, PAYG, and super
• BAS and GST lodgement
• Expense tracking and monthly financial reporting
• Cloud-based bookkeeping on Xero — accessible from your office, court, or anywhere

‍

‍
