Law firm partners reviewing the business
Services for law firms

We don't help you run the books. We help you run a stronger law firm.

Every engagement is built around outcomes — partner payouts, profitability, cash, and the operational clarity that lets you spend more time on the practice and less on the firm.

01

Fractional CFO Services

Better partner payouts.

Sarah serves as your firm's part-time CFO — sitting in on partner meetings, owning the financial plan, and making sure the partners are actually paid what the firm earns. Compensation modeling, capital plans, distributions, and the strategic calls in between.

  • Monthly partner scorecard
  • Compensation & profit-split model
  • Capital & distribution plan
  • Bi-weekly partner touchpoints

02

Profitability Improvement

Improved profitability — per matter, per attorney, per practice area.

Most firms have no idea which matters, attorneys, or practice areas are actually making money. We bring that picture into focus and build a 12-month plan to lean into the work that pays and retire the work that doesn't.

  • Per-matter & per-attorney margin analysis
  • Pricing & packaging review
  • Practice-area profitability map
  • Quarterly profit-improvement plan

03

Cash Flow Management

Healthier cash flow — no more surprise crunches.

Trust accounts, contingencies, slow receivables, and partner draws all pull on the same cash. We build a forward-looking cash model so you can see what's coming, plan around it, and stop running the firm two weeks at a time.

  • 13-week rolling cash forecast
  • Trust vs. operating discipline
  • AR & collections cadence
  • Reserve & buffer policy

04

Strategic Planning

More confident hiring, growth, and investment decisions.

When to add an associate. Whether to open a second office. Whether a new practice area is actually a good bet. We pressure-test the big calls before you make them — with real numbers, not gut feel.

  • Annual operating plan
  • Hiring & capacity model
  • Practice-area & office expansion analysis
  • Partner-level decision support

05

Financial Reporting

Greater operational clarity — for partners, not accountants.

A monthly scorecard the partners actually read. Law-firm KPIs (realization, utilization, WIP, billings, collections, profit per partner) presented in plain English with the so-what attached.

  • Partner-ready monthly close
  • Law-firm KPI dashboard
  • Variance commentary in plain English
  • Annual benchmarking

06

Growth Advisory

Sustainable growth — the kind that doesn't break the firm.

A 1- and 3-year growth plan built around partner goals, not generic targets. We help you grow profit before headcount, and headcount only where the numbers support it.

  • 3-year growth roadmap
  • Investment & ROI modeling
  • New-partner financial onboarding
  • Succession & transition planning

07

Decision Support

A thought partner for the calls between board-room and case work.

Unlimited access to Sarah for the questions that can't wait until next quarter. New lease? New hire? Trust account question? Compensation issue between partners? Pick up the phone.

  • Unlimited CFO access
  • Same-day decision modeling
  • Partner mediation on financial calls
  • Outside-counsel-style availability

Engagements are flat-fee, partner-led, and built for the long relationship.
