Private Legal Accounts
Private fee preparation drains billable hours and carries compliance risks.
Errors or delays in feeing affect cash flow and client relationships.
I prepare private fees accurately and promptly, so your fee earners stay focused on chargeable work.
What I do:
- Prepare detailed, accurate private fee accounts
- Return completed draft accounts to you for submission to the client
- Highlight any queries or discrepancies for your review

Why work with me?
Independent scrutiny, reduced risk — As an external specialist, I assess accounts with objectivity that internal staff - who work closely with fee-earners - may find difficult.
This independence reduces the risk of over-claiming (and subsequent queries) or under-claiming (and lost revenue). Many firms use me specifically for files where partners want extra confidence before submission.
Specialist focus — I am a member of the Association of Independent Law Accountants.
I understand the pressure to maintain cash flow while meeting compliance requirements - your accounts are turned around quickly without cutting corners.
