How it works in practice
Follow financial activity from an individual matter into the firm-wide cash books, ledgers, reconciliations and compliance reports, without losing the context behind a transaction.
Matter ledgers
Bring receipts, payments, disbursements and recharges into one matter ledger. Office, client and deposit money remain clearly separated, while combined and account-specific views help fee earners and cashiers understand the complete financial position.
Bank accounts and cash books
Keeping client money separate is a core requirement across legal accounts regimes. Superlawyer holds office, client, deposit and designated deposit accounts as distinct cash books, each with its account details, nominal ledger code and current balance - alongside internal client journals for money that moves without touching the bank.
Supplier ledger
Manage supplier records alongside unpaid supplier-ledger and nominal pay-later items. See outstanding totals and record supplier invoices in bulk to different matters, then move directly into transaction requests, reconciliations or compliance reporting when the work requires it.
Reconciliation and sign-off
Prepare the reconciliation, tick each entry that appears on the real bank statement, and sign off. The signed record is permanent, with anything still outstanding documented on it - so the firm always knows who prepared, who signed and what was unpresented at the time.
Controls and compliance
Transaction requests separate who asks for a payment from who approves it, accounting periods lock once reviewed, and every sensitive change - locks, reversals, segregation settings - is recorded permanently. The breach register, residual balance report and VAT return sit in the same compliance area.

Record, control, reconcile and review - with shared client money controls built into each step and support for regulator-specific requirements.

Compare the bank statement, cash book and client ledger, then retain the permanent record.

Regulator-specific timings, responsibilities and reporting sit over those shared controls. Compliance stays your firm's responsibility - Superlawyer makes it easier to operate and evidence.
