Trust accounting that holds up to Law Society review.
Bookkeeping, tax, and CFO advisory for Canadian law firms. Trust reconciled monthly, matter-based billing in the books, realization tracked by lawyer. The compliance side of practice ownership, handled.
LSO and LSBC compliant. Monthly trust reports, annual filings, levy tracking, the whole regulatory wrapper.
The work that separates law-firm bookkeeping from every other kind.
Four categories of regulatory work that most generalist bookkeepers won't touch. They're standard for us.
Trust accounting
General and pooled trust accounts reconciled monthly, matter-by-matter ledgers tied to the penny. Trust comparison reports prepared in the format your law society accepts.
Matter-based billing
Time entries, disbursements, and trust transfers tracked by matter in Clio, PCLaw, or CosmoLex. Monthly invoices clean enough to send without rework.
LawPRO, levies, and dues
LawPRO premiums, capital levies, and Law Society dues posted to the right accounts so the annual filing matches reality. Reminders before the deadlines, every cycle.
Annual Law Society filing
Form 9 in Ontario, the trust report in BC, the equivalents across provinces. Drafted, reviewed with your firm, filed before the due date.
Not a substitute for legal advice. We handle the books and the regulatory accounting. We do not provide legal opinions or stand in for your firm counsel on practice management questions.
Five practice areas. One bookkeeping team that speaks them.
Different practices, different rhythms. Same need: books that respect the trust wrapper, sharp matter-by-matter reporting, no surprises at audit.
Litigation
Disbursement-heavy matters, expert fees, court costs, contingency arrangements where applicable. Books that hold up after a contested matter, not just before it.
Real estate
High trust velocity, closings every week, statements of adjustments through Cyberbahn or Teraview. We reconcile fast enough that closing day never slows for the books.
Corporate and commercial
Retainers in trust, deal-based billing, multi-jurisdiction work. The accounting wrapper around a transactional practice, including the SR&ED tax planning for fintech-side clients.
Family and estates
Sensitive trust balances, distribution schedules, estate accounts that have to survive scrutiny by beneficiaries and the court. We document everything as we go.
Sole practitioners
One-or-two-lawyer firms that need full compliance on a small-practice budget. Flat fee, predictable, with the same monthly reports the bigger firms get.
The questions that keep a managing partner up.
The kind your bookkeeper either solves or quietly creates. We sit on the right side of that line.
"Our trust account is one transposition error from a Law Society call. How do we lock that down?"
"We bill by matter but the partners want to see profit by lawyer. Can the books show both?"
"Disbursements are aging out before clients pay. What is the cleanest fix?"
"How do we structure the partner draws so personal tax stays optimized?"
Real firms. Specific outcomes.
Three snapshots of where law firms stood when they came in, and where they landed within twelve months.
Trust reconciliation three months behind. Law Society inquiry pending.
Trust caught up in two weeks. Inquiry closed with no findings.
Profitability by lawyer invisible. Compensation talks based on instinct.
Per-lawyer realization reporting monthly. Compensation grounded in numbers.
Doing the books at midnight. CRA notices going to a personal inbox.
Monthly close on the fifth, dedicated lead, lawyer gets weekends back.
Exactly how we solve the problems keeping you up at night.
Growth almost killed us, twice. We had a million dollars in invoices that weren't coming in, and the Numinor CFO team showed up with strategies. A year later, our consultants are booking 20 percent more revenue.
Numinor helped us close our last round. They built the data room that closed the financing. The biggest reason I'd recommend them: I spend less time in the business and more time on the business.
Four weeks between incorporation and our first close. Our investors keep asking why our books are always on time and so easy to pull. The answer is: that's just how Numinor works.
Law-firm questions, plainly answered.
Have one we have not covered? Email the team and we will come back within a business day.
Yes. We work in Clio, PCLaw, CosmoLex, ESILaw, and most of the rest. We sync the billing system to QuickBooks (or Xero) so time, disbursements, and trust transfers land in the books with the right tags.
Yes. Ontario Form 9, the BC trust report, and the provincial equivalents. We draft it from the monthly reconciliations we've already done, you review and sign, we file before the deadline.
Yes, including mixed structures: one partner on salary, another on profit share, a third on draws against future billings. The books reflect each lawyer's actual position at any moment.
We've caught up trust accounts that were months behind. It's a scoped one-time project, with a flat quote and a target date. The faster you start, the smaller the exposure.
We provide accounting and advisory services within the regulatory wrapper. We do not give legal opinions on Law Society compliance questions. For those, your firm counsel is the right place. We coordinate with them.
