“Because trust accounting isn’t data entry — it’s an audit-ready internal control system. We build the controls, the evidence, and the monthly workpapers so the process survives staff changes and the records are always producible.”

Client trust (IOLTA) accounting—handled with audit‑grade discipline

Green Ledger Advisors provides white‑glove law firm trust accounting (IOLTA) for California attorneys, built around disciplined documentation, clean audit trails, and a consistent monthly “trust packet.” 


Bay Area‑based, statewide remote.

How it works

Step 1: Trust Health Check

We confirm fit and scope, review your current trust workflow and records, identify gaps, and define the fastest path to a consistent monthly trust packet.

Step 2: Baseline Reset (Month 1)

We establish a clean starting point: align ledger structure, organize documentation, resolve (or clearly document) outstanding items, and set the month‑end checklist and folder system.

Step 3: Monthly cadence (close → packet → exceptions review)

Each month we reconcile, update client/matter ledgers, deliver the trust packet, and track exceptions to resolution—on a consistent schedule.
