Accountants for Solicitors

Specialist accounting for solicitors

The intricacies of accounting for solicitors require not only expertise but also a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape, a landscape that is constantly evolving and demanding. At Coveney Nicholls, we understand these unique demands and have carved out our niche as accountants for solicitors, catering to both sole practitioners and large multi-office partnerships.

The legal industry’s financial and regulatory requirements are quite unlike any other. The obligation for an annual review and a report to the Law Society, conducted by a Registered Auditor, stands out as one of the more distinct requirements in this sector. We understand the stress these obligations can impose on legal professionals who already have numerous other pressures to juggle.

Many years of experience has allowed us to gain an in-depth understanding of this sector.
