Christopher Small
Confessions of a Law Firm Bookkeeper
I help small law firm owners doing $300k–$1m a year keep clean books, stay audit‑safe on trust accounting, and legally pay less in taxes. On Confessions of a Law Firm Bookkeeper, I share real stories from messy law firm books and trust accounts, plus simple checklists and tax tips you can actually use. If you're not confident your books and trust account would survive an audit, this show is for you. That's it. No need for the shorter version here; this is the main sales copy for the feed.
