Bookkeeping context in St. Louis

Law Firms & Legal Practices reconciliation workflow
Law firms operate with two distinct types of bank accounts — the operating account for business expenses and the IOLTA trust account for client funds — and both must reconcile perfectly every month. State bar associations require attorneys to maintain accurate trust account records, and a trust account reconciliation error can trigger a bar complaint or disciplinary action. LedgerMatch helps law firm bookkeepers reconcile both operating and trust account bank statements against QuickBooks or Xero in under 10 minutes, with a clean audit trail for every transaction.
Local and industry considerations
- Missouri has a 4% corporate income tax, and St. Louis has a 1% city earnings tax — businesses need accurate monthly reconciliation to support both state and city filings.
- IOLTA trust account reconciliation is required by most state bars and must be completed monthly — errors in trust accounting can trigger disciplinary proceedings regardless of the dollar amount involved.
