CPA-led bookkeeping and IOLTA trust accounting for law firms. Clio Certified Administrator. QuickBooks Online Certified. Based in Hatfield, PA.
(1)

I'm Peter Fider, CPA, EA, and I keep trust accounts reconciled every month and ready for a bar review.

10/22/2026

Just earned Clio’s Channel Partner Certification (17 courses, 12 hours of training).

As a CPA focused on IOLTA trust accounting and bookkeeping for law firms, I work with a lot of firms running Clio and QuickBooks Online side by side. This training sharpened how I connect the two, especially when it comes to keeping trust balances accurate and audit-ready.

If your firm uses Clio and your monthly three-way reconciliation still feels like a headache, I’m happy to take a look.

With year-end approaching law firm owners need to be thinking about more than just their IOLTA accounts. Accounts receivable cleanup, year-end tax planning, and staff compensation reviews are all Q4 priorities that directly impact your firm's financial health. Make sure you are addressing all of them with the same attention to detail you bring to your client matters. 💡

Busy doesn’t mean profitable.
Most firm owners get monthly financials that are just a data dump: pages of numbers and no clear answer.
Here’s what your monthly report package should actually look like 👇

Mid-October is a great checkpoint for law firms to review their IOLTA reconciliation process. Is every client trust account being reconciled to the penny every single month? Are your three-way reconciliations current and documented? For attorneys the consequences of trust accounting errors go far beyond financial penalties. Your license and your reputation depend on getting this right every time. 📋

A settlement check isn't just the client's money. Attorney fees, liens, and other expenses may all come out of it before anything is distributed.

The rule:
✅ Let the funds clear
✅ Document everything
✅ Disburse per the settlement statement

Every dollar needs a clear destination and the right client attached to it.

Your IOLTA bank balance matches. So everything's fine… right?

Not always.

Clean trust accounting needs three numbers to agree:
✅ IOLTA bank balance
✅ Total trust liability
✅ Each client ledger balance

The bank can match while a client ledger is off, and that tends to surface months later, when it's harder to fix.

A three-way reconciliation checks it client by client.

Not sure yours would pass? Let's take a look.

October is here and for attorneys and law firms managing IOLTA accounts Q4 is when trust accounting compliance becomes most critical. Year-end audits, bar association reviews, and increased transaction volume all converge in the final quarter. Make sure your client trust accounts are fully reconciled, your records are audit-ready, and your bookkeeping is current before the pressure of year-end arrives. ⚖️

September is almost done and Q4 is here. For law firms, the final quarter of 2026 means year-end trust account audits, increased billing activity, and the pressure to close the year in full financial and ethical compliance. Make sure your IOLTA records are spotless, your bookkeeping is current, and your firm is positioned to finish 2026 with complete confidence in every number behind it. 🌟
