A law firm has two sets of books, and most software only helps with one. SolicitorOS keeps the business books alongside the client account: every bill, receipt, expense and bank line flows into the VAT return figures, a profit and loss account and a month-end close, while client money stays on its own ledger where Rule 4.1 says it must.

Everything below is in the product today and opens on the first day of the trial. No demo, no implementation project.
Output tax from bills and input tax from expenses and disbursements are laid out against the boxes of the VAT return, on invoice or cash accounting, with the schedule behind each figure ready for your Making Tax Digital software or your accountant.
Capture rent, salaries, software, counsel not recovered and every other cost with the receipt stored against the line. Recurring expenses write themselves on the first of the month. Drawings and tax payments are kept out of profit and posted to the partner loan and the balance sheet.
Import the business bank statement and let receipts and expenses match themselves. Whatever is left is captured in a click and reconciled on the spot, so the month can close with the bank agreed.
A checklist covers bank and client account reconciliations, draft invoices, unbilled work, client account interest and the VAT period. Once closed, a month is locked so nothing back-dates into a filed return.
Fees, disbursements, bad debts and expenses by category month by month, on accrual or cash basis, plus a thirteen-week cash-flow forecast built from what is actually due in and out.
The year-end pack collects the profit and loss, ledger, VAT schedules, expenses, ageing, profitability and the accountant’s report pack for the client account, with balanced journal lines your accountant can import.
Sign up with an email address. The workspace opens immediately with the demo matter so you can see real screens, not slides.
Bring in one live matter and work it for a week: capture, bill, diarise, reconcile. Import clients and matters by CSV when you are ready.
Pick a plan and add a card only when you decide to continue. Nothing you built is lost, and everything exports if you leave.
For most small firms it covers the day-to-day books. If your accountant works in another package, the general-ledger export gives them balanced journal lines to import, and the Xero connection posts bills and receipts across — never client money.
It prepares the figures: every box with the schedule behind it, on your VAT basis. Under Making Tax Digital the return itself is submitted through MTD-compatible software, so you or your accountant file from there.
They are captured as expense lines but kept out of profit: drawings post to the partner or director loan account and tax payments to the balance sheet, and the form refuses input VAT on them.
No. Client money has its own ledger and never appears in the business books except as a transfer to business against a bill.
A closed month is locked so nothing back-dates into it. An owner can reopen a month deliberately, and the action is logged.
