March 2: Seattle - Accounting 101

Join us for the first CLE of our 2016 CLE Connections Series which aims to offer both high quality CLEs designed to help you run a successful law practice and opportunities to connect with other lawyer-entrepreneurs especially those serving the moderate income client community.
Hanging your own shingle not only means you are a running a law practice but it also means you are running a business.  And imperative to running a business is the ability to develop a working understanding and analytical framework of accounting terminology to not only run a successful practice but also avoid unintentional, accounting scandals.  Accountant Simone Bachaud will teach you the basics of accounting so you can be knowledgeable when reviewing statements and identifying red flags.  She will cover: 
  • Key points of an accounting system (Quickbooks, Xero) 
  • Setting up accounts and what to track 
  • Basic law firm business expenses (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll)
  • Standard financial reports (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet)
  • Trust accounting (Basics for smaller law firms)
  • Business taxes (Excise, Payroll, Income Tax)
