Question by Heywood Jah: What kind of bookkeeping software is designed for soloor small law firm?
seeking general management and billing / payroll / book keeping functions to streamline functionality and have a leaner more modern system. Opinions and suggestions and insight are welcome. Also, where can one find good help in the way of legal support staff in S. Fla.? It truely is hard to get good help!
Thank you to wyfclyon, just the insight i was hoping for, rather than taking, more like losing, time to discover this myself. The practice is business law and commercial litigation, condo law, associations, this area. Going through a changing face, a shift after many many years, as such the result will be a retireing partner and bookeeper. Staff and support restructuring too. I find that I am at a restructure crossroads and while I am proud to be a well respected lawyer; I cannot manufacture time for this support work, and I have felt the pain of trying to find capable and intelligent legal support candidates that can appreciate a long term opportunity. This problem of good help in S. Fla. I know to well.
Long explanation but now perhaps you know the whole story. Should anyone like to chime in, I welcome and appreciate the input.
Thanks again,

You did not specify your practice area so I am guessing it’s a general practice and your specialties are Miscellaneous, Sundry and Other. You can’t go wrong with using Quickbooks for general accounting and keeping up with your checkbook., Paychex for payroll, and Tabs3 for time and billing, docketing, document management, email management, etc. You could use the time and billing included in Quickbooks but I am certain you will not be satisfied. Tabs 3 has a general ledger as a companion to its time and billings and that will probably suffice. Billquick is another excellent time and billing software and it integrates seamlessly with Quickbooks. Good luck, I am a CPA and went through the same head scratching as you. I went with Tabs3 but can tell you it was not a good choice for accontants but know for a fact that is works very nicely for attorneys.
