There’s a reason you refer to yourself as a “lawyer” and not a small business owner or CEO. Primarily, you practice law. Most of what you do is better captured by the term lawyer than by either of the latter. Or is it?
“With a staffing footprint of only a few attorneys why do I need a bookkeeper?” It’s a question I’ve heard a lot over the course of my career. Many lawyers who work in small firms don’t see the benefit of relying on external expertise to keep their books organized. Unfortunately, many of those same lawyers eventually come around to a different way of thinking only after something bad, or even catastrophic, happens with their accounts.
