Launched in 2015, TrustBooks was created to simplify the legal trust accounting process for non-accountants and empower attorneys to handle their books while staying compliant with their State Bar through three-way reconciliation. TrustBooks’ easy-to-use platform provides users the ability to do all of their accounting, including operating and trust, in one place.
“When you take away the fear and time commitment out of trust accounting, attorneys build confidence that lets them feel like they can worry less, and spend more time being billable,” said Tom Boyle. “This is what sets TrustBooks apart, and we could not be more excited about the opportunity to scale our accounting solution to the legal community through our partnership with Paradigm.”
