Financial Controls: 4 Reports For Every Law Firm Owner


Listen Later

We kick off the first of a three-part series on crucial financial reports that can transform a law firm’s profitability from RJon’s boat, “The Office”. This episode demystifies financial controls which many lawyers unnecessarily over-complicate. Instead, we focus on the four reports every law firm owner should look at, and most importantly understand, each month.

Set against the backdrop of Miami’s scenic coastline and an approaching storm, RJon offers a uniquely engaging perspective on mastering law firm finances. His straight-forward, no-nonsense style breaks down the value of monthly financial reports without resorting to complex math. Lean in and listen as RJon makes sense of the data your bookkeeper sends each month in a way that’s both accessible and actionable.

If I only had one financial report to look at every month, I would look at my Budget Variance Report. “
