Law Office Accounting Software for Solicitors & Legal Professionals
Running a law firm demands more than excellent legal work — it requires financial precision, compliance with industry regulations, and seamless operational efficiency. Klyant’s law office accounting software is designed specifically for solicitors, barristers, and legal finance professionals who need full control over firm finances, client money, and reporting obligations.
Klyant is not just another generic accounting system. It’s a purpose-built platform that understands the unique financial and regulatory requirements of law firms — from client accounts to SRA compliance and everything in between.
Modern Accounting for Modern Law Firms
What Is Law Office Accounting Software?
Law office accounting software helps legal practices manage both their operational finances and client money in full compliance with professional regulations. It handles:
- Office accounting (income, expenses, suppliers invoices & payments)
- Client accounting (Client account specific functionality)
- Outlay/Disbursement management
- VAT reports and Making Tax Digital submissions
- Financial reporting tailored to law firms
Unlike standard bookkeeping tools, legal accounting software supports the split between office and client funds, ensures regulatory compliance, and supports legal-specific workflows and audit trails.
