Leading Law Firms.
"Exemplary accounting services. It's incredibly helpful to have someone who understands accounting & law firm operations handling our firm's accounting. They have a very thorough process that handles our work consistently and keeps me informed."
"Highly recommend. When my firm outgrew my ability to have my hands in all aspects of the firm, Knight gave me the ability to take a step back from the operational accounting & money movement while increasing my visibility into our cashflow planning & needs."
"Taxes are my largest expense and, until working with Knight, my tax bill was an unpleasant surprise. Now, Knight's team runs my firm's numbers in Q2 & Q4 to project my tax liability so that I know how much cash to set aside and pay before the year ends. Highly recommend Knight for tax planning."
"Until working with Knight, my bookkeeper and CPA were not on the same page. Knight's team stepped in to handle both the bookkeeping and tax needs. He is reliable, responsive, and knows how to use my billing software."
"Knight showed me how to look at my firm's finances so that I understand where my money is going. He's the only CPA I've worked with that understands my software and how law firms operate."
Lawyer pay should be grounded in numbers you trust
Get clarity on what each person has produced for the firm.
Payroll gets stressful fast when compensation depends on numbers no one fully trusts. If origination, collections, billings, or production reports feel shaky, every payroll decision starts to feel like a risk.
We help law firms clean up the data behind those numbers, fix reporting issues, and create a clearer picture of what each lawyer has earned to support accurate attorney compensation and partner compensation plans. That means fewer disputes, fewer second guesses, and better confidence when it is time to pay people correctly.
If you pay the bills today,
what gets tight tomorrow?
Cash flow should not feel like a guessing game. Law firm owners need to know what is coming in, what is going out, and what that means for payroll, partner draws, and day-to-day decisions.
We help build reporting that answers the questions owners are already asking. What is safe to pay right now? What needs to wait? What is getting tight? What needs attention before it becomes a problem?
The goal is not more reports.
The goal is reports you will actually use.
Never be blindsided by taxes again
A lot of firms are tired of tax season feeling like a surprise attack. You file late, owe more tax than expected, or realize too late that no one was setting enough aside for tax obligations during the year.
We help law firms implement proactive tax planning strategies for tax season instead of reacting late. We navigate complex issues like state and local tax planning and pass-through entity tax so you have cleaner monthly visibility, better tax forecasting, and more chances to reduce the tax bill before the year is over.
Better tax results usually start with better books. We help with both.
Broken reports usually start with a broken software setup.
Many law firms are working off reports that feel off, balance sheets that do not tell the whole story, and legal accounting software that was never mapped cleanly in the first place.
We help correct historic issues, clean up the reporting, and improve the setup moving forward so the data becomes easier to trust at a glance. That means less time second guessing the numbers and less time trying to figure out which part of the system broke them.

Trust accounts and firm accounting are our job, not yours
Most law firms do not need a controller. They are not big enough to justify one yet, and they should not have to build that role just to handle trust accounts, get clean numbers and better reporting.
At the same time, this work is usually over a bookkeeper's head. The software is too specific, the setup matters too much, and the downstream impact on payroll, cash flow, tax planning, and reporting is too important. General accountants often try to apply GAAP financial reporting standards to legal services, missing the nuances of IOLTA trust compliance, trust account reconciliation, and client trust management.
That leaves many firms stuck in the middle. The CPA files the tax return and moves on. The bookkeeper handles pieces of the process. The owner is left carrying the responsibility for whether any of it is actually right.
That is where we come in. We step into the gap between basic bookkeeping and a full internal finance hire so your firm gets the clarity, corrections, reporting, and follow-through it needs without pushing the burden back onto you.
You should be focused on running the firm, serving clients, and enjoying the life you built. This is our job, not yours.
Get reports you trust.
Get ahead of taxes.
Get it handled.
If your firm is tired of guessing at payroll, worrying about cash, reacting to tax surprises, and living with reports that don't feel trustworthy, book a consultation today.
We help law firms fix the setup, clean the data, and build a financial process that holds up going forward.
