For those in the legal profession, accounting is not something you want to be spending too much time on.
Whilst these two professions do share some traits – such as analytical and logical, as well as a close attention to detail – bookkeeping can be time-consuming and you most likely have many clients who are vying for your attention and legal expertise.
Whether you’re a sole trader or a partner in a law firm, we understand that you will want to concentrate your efforts on your work and busy schedule, whilst leaving your financial matters to someone else.
As specialist Accountants to freelancers, we provide bespoke accounting and tax service solutions to legal professionals with our specialist understanding of the legal sector. Whilst an ordinary accountant may not have the specific knowledge of legal tax and accountancy, our financial experts at Gorilla are equipped with the proficiency to handle all of your financial and compliance needs.
Our philosophy is that accounting shouldn’t be a laborious process packed full of incomprehensible jargon. We offer a streamlined on-boarding process, allowing you to join Gorilla Accounting with minimal interruption to your business.
From business bank account creation to the preparation of your annual tax returns, our accountants provide high-quality financial services to allow your legal business to work at full capacity.Â
