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:
โœ… Let the funds clear
โœ… Document everything
โœ… 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 fineโ€ฆ right?

Not always.

Clean trust accounting needs three numbers to agree:
โœ… IOLTA bank balance
โœ… Total trust liability
โœ… 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. โš–๏ธ

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. ๐ŸŒŸ

My client got audited and lost. Every expense was real, but nobody kept the receipts.

As a CPA, I see this too often. A bank statement proves money moved, not what you bought. Snap a photo at the counter and note what it was for. 30 seconds now beats 30 hours under audit.

Q3 closes this week, and for attorneys and law firms, that means your IOLTA reconciliation, your accounts receivable, and your quarterly tax obligations all need to be current before October arrives. Clean trust accounting records at quarter-end are not just good practice for law firms. They are a professional and ethical requirement that protects your license and your clients. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Fall case volume is picking up, and for law firms, that means more client funds moving in and out of your IOLTA account at a faster pace. This is exactly when errors are most likely to occur and when the consequences of those errors are most severe. Make sure your bookkeeping is keeping up with your caseload and that every transaction is documented accurately and on time. ๐Ÿ’ก

Is your CPA doing expensive detective work at tax time or actual tax strategy?

When operating transactions are categorized as they happen and trust accounts are reconciled monthly, your books stay clean year-round.

That means your CPA can focus on saving you money through strategic tax planning, instead of charging you to reconstruct last year's mess.
