Bookkeepers and accountants tend to be generalists; however, law firms might choose to look out for candidates with prior experience in a legal setting.

Legal Bookkeeper skills & qualifications

Bookkeepers might hold a Bachelors degree in accounting or similar; however, this is not necessary, and practical experience is often more valuable.

How to hire a bookkeeper

It can be difficult to choose the right bookkeeper for your firm. Explore our Bookkeeper Hiring Guide, or check out our recommended interview questions below

Have you worked with law firms in the past?

While it's not essential for your bookkeeper to have previous experience working with a law firm, it might be beneficial for smaller firms with only a single bookkeeper or accountant to look for a more specialized candidate.

Do you have experience with QuickBooks?

QuickBooks is often the go-to software for accounting and bookkeeping. Make sure your candidate is fluent in QuickBooks as well as any other software your firm uses.

Which types of financial reports do you have experience producing?

Look out for the financial reports your firm expects to see from your bookkeeper or accountant, such as balance sheets and profit/loss statements.
