What a law-firm bookkeeper does that a generalist won't

Built for the way law firms actually run

Trust accounting, three-way reconciliations, and firm-specific reporting are not add-ons here — they're the whole point.

Trust & IOLTA done right

Client funds kept clean and compliant, with three-way reconciliations that hold up to a bar audit — no more late-night worry about the trust balance.

Books that are always current

Monthly reconciliations, categorized transactions, and tidy records — so your numbers are ready whenever you (or your CPA) need them.

A dashboard, not a data dump

Your CPA hands you a P&L; a generalist hands you a spreadsheet. Cypress gives you a live dashboard that answers what actually matters — cash runway, take-home, taxes set aside, and a business health score — refreshed every month.

My story

Why I built Cypress Books

I started Cypress Books to give law firms something most bookkeeping services don't: a partner who understands trust accounting, speaks the language of a firm, and treats your numbers like they matter — because they do.

Good questions

Common questions

I already have a bookkeeper or CPA. Is this different?

Often, yes. Many generalist bookkeepers don't handle trust/IOLTA accounting or firm-specific reporting. I focus on law firms, so your client funds stay compliant and your numbers are built around how a practice actually runs. I'm happy to work alongside your CPA.

Do you handle trust / IOLTA accounting?

Yes — it's a core part of what I do. That includes clean handling of client funds and three-way reconciliations designed to hold up to a bar audit.

What software do you work in?

I typically work in QuickBooks Online paired with law-firm tools, and I deliver a simple dashboard so your key numbers are always a glance away. If you're on a different system, let's talk.

My books are behind. Can you still help?

Absolutely. Catch-up and cleanup is one of my most common projects. I'll get you current and audit-ready, then keep you there with monthly service.

Is my financial data secure?

Security is taken seriously — from access controls to secure document handling. I'm glad to walk you through exactly how your information is protected before we start.
