IOLTA Accounting Services for Attorneys
Attorney Accounting Services- Plymouth Massachusetts
Avoid BBO Disciplinary Admonitions for Trust Account Violation of Mass R Prof.C.1.15
Why Do You Need an Accounting Firm that Specializes in IOLTA Accounting?
Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts, or “IOLTA”, is a program mandated by the Supreme Judicial Court that requires lawyers and law firms to establish interest-bearing accounts for their client deposits.
If the trust account is mismanaged in a manner that was preventable, the attorney will be found responsible even if a secretary or bookkeeper was actually doing the record keeping and may be subject to a BBO audit.
Experienced IOLTA Accountants
The staff at Bakken CPA PC is trained in Trust Account Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15 requirements. We set up, maintain and prepare the required ‘3 way’ reconciliations for IOLTA Trust Accounts for attorneys. We have helped attorneys being audited by the BBO (Board of Bar Overseers) bring their accounts into compliance and we work with attorneys that wish to avoid being audited by the BBO. Don’t wait until it’s too late to comply.
“Bakken CPA is the only accounting firm I will ever need. It is a good feeling to have a local trusted accounting firm that can handle my professional and personal accounting all under one roof. The customer service is top notch professional and courteous. Lauren and Elizabeth have always made themselves available for advice and any other matters that come up throughout the year. For a small business owner that kind of service is invaluable!”
