Understand why transactions are entered the way they are and the important reports the partners of the firm need to run a profitable law firm.
Many paralegals are handed the job of bookkeeper by default or out of need. Since this is not their area of expertise, they may be told or shown how to make the entries, but they are never shown why or helped to understand the big picture when it comes to the accounting. This course will help the paralegals responsible for handling the bookkeeping for the law firm understand why transactions are entered the way they are and learn some accounting terminology. They will also learn the four most important reports the partners of the firm need to run a profitable law firm.
