  • Law Firm Owners: The 6‑Month Trust Recon Time Bomb (Random Audit Story)
    Jun 15 2026
    Law firm owners, if your trust account hasn't been properly reconciled in six months, you're not just "behind on bookkeeping" – you're one bar letter away from a nightmare.

    In this first episode of Confessions of a Law Firm Bookkeeper, I walk through a composite story of a two‑attorney estate planning firm that got randomly selected for a trust account audit after six months of no real reconciliation – and what we had to fix before they could sign that certification.

    I cover:
    • What actually happens when you get the "random trust audit" letter from the bar
    • How a $3,491.38 mismatch between the trust bank balance and the trust ledger exposed months of sloppy accounting
    • The month‑by‑month process we used to clean up the firm's IOLTA activity before the audit
    • 3 simple checks you can run this week to see if your own trust account is audit‑ready
    • Common red flags I look for: negative client trust balances and "ghost balances" that don't belong to any client

    At the end, I answer a few law firm bookkeeping questions and share a quick Tax Corner tip so you can stop guessing on quarterly estimates.
