About This Automation

Trust account management requires staff to manually download bank statements, match deposits to client matters, and reconcile balances across multiple systems. Manual reconciliation is time-consuming, error-prone, and creates compliance risk when discrepancies go undetected.

Automation matches incoming transactions to client matters automatically, updates ledger balances in real time, and generates reconciliation reports with flagged exceptions. The result is faster, more accurate trust accounting with reduced manual oversight.

Key features
Match bank transactions to client matters automatically using transaction details and historical patterns
Flag ambiguous or unmatched transactions for attorney review without blocking the workflow
Update client ledger balances in real time as deposits and disbursements clear
Generate weekly or monthly reconciliation reports comparing bank balance to ledger totals
Identify and highlight reconciliation discrepancies for immediate investigation
Send compliance reports to attorneys with one click

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Bank transaction postedtrigger

A new transaction clears in the trust account and is detected by the automation platform via API or webhook.

2. Fetch transaction details

The automation retrieves the full transaction record including amount, date, reference, and any memo from the bank.

3. Match to client matter

The automation analyzes the transaction memo, reference, or amount against known client matters and invoices in QuickBooks to identify the correct client.

4. Update client ledger

The automation creates or updates the corresponding journal entry to credit or debit the client trust ledger.

5. Flag unmatched transactions

If the AI cannot confidently match the transaction, it logs it to a review queue for manual attorney review.

6. Generate reconciliation report

Daily or weekly, the automation pulls the bank balance and all client ledger totals from QuickBooks and generates a reconciliation summary.

7. Send compliance notification

The automation emails the reconciliation report and any flagged items to the managing attorney.
