Law firm accounting software built for solicitors

Law firm accounting software is a specialist category of financial management technology purpose-built for solicitors and legal practices in England and Wales. Unlike generic accounting platforms such as Xero or QuickBooks, law firm accounting software manages the dual-ledger structure that the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Accounts Rules require — keeping client money completely separate from office funds in auditable, incorruptible ledgers. The software automates bank reconciliations, enforces compliance checks on every transaction, and provides a full audit trail so that firms can demonstrate regulatory adherence at any point.

LEAP provides a comprehensive suite of law firm accounting tools that make managing your finances straightforward. Capture all client funds, designated deposits, invoices and disbursements in one application, giving you complete transparency over every financial relationship.

Managing client money is one of the most important obligations a solicitor carries. LEAP's built-in checks and balances ensure you never use funds you are not entitled to, with automated warnings wherever there is a risk of non-compliance.

Automated bank reconciliation simplifies your procedures and keeps accounts current with minimal manual effort. Every transaction is recorded in an incorruptible audit trail, so your firm is always ready for an SRA inspection or external audit.

LEAP integrates seamlessly with Xero and QuickBooks Online so your law firm can combine specialist legal accounting with best-of-breed general business finance tools. Manage VAT returns, payroll and general expenses in your preferred platform while LEAP handles client and office account ledgers, trust accounting and SRA compliance.

With a full suite of financial reports, your business has never been easier to manage. Run strategic reports at any time using live data to monitor performance and inform future planning.

For firms with centralised accounting processes, having transparency, oversight and control over transactions promotes accountability and reduces risk. LEAP's Transaction Request workflow allows fee earners to request payments while designated approvers verify and authorise every disbursement before it leaves the firm.

This approval layer minimises errors, prevents unauthorised payments and gives practice managers complete visibility over the firm's financial activity.
