helping law firm owners build their kingdoms into empires

We recently replaced our in-house CPA with Jessica at the same time we decided to completely re-do our billing and invoicing system. Jessica was able to assist us in a smooth transition from a very outdated system, to a new up to date online system. Jessica not only is an excellent CPA, but also is highly technical, has valuable problem solving skills, is very personable, and easy to work with. We now have a much more up to date system and have streamlined our processes considerably.

What does a lawyer know about accounting, taxes, finances, bookkeeping, & business services? How does a solo lawyer take a law practice and understand that it is a small business? Jessica Gonifas is the CPA for the stars and rising stars in the legal field. Her attention to detail, patience, and guidance has allowed this long-term practitioner to put the numbers in order - analyze the numbers - and understand what's right and what's wrong. My stress and mess - many CPAs would have kicked me to the curb - not Jessica - she has stayed the course - liking the challenge almost - and 2019 taxes and now going forward - the stress level has decreased - and we are able to make some decision about the business side. Plus Jessica goes the extra mile - chasing those who didn't want to provide W-9s, prompting me in kind ways to complete onboarding tasks, etc. She's a true professional.

Jessica brings an energy to your firm that normally, only owners possess! She takes a genuine interest in getting to know both you and your firm, and the goals you have for each. Then, she holds you accountable every step of the way in order to meet them. Hiring Jessica as an adviser truly is the equivalent of bringing on a new partner to your firm, with fresh ideas and insights, while retaining your equity. It is the best of all worlds. Jessica is an optimistic, up-beat breath of fresh air. Working with her will breathe new life into you and your business!

Jessica has become a tremendous asset to my law practice. I feel secure every month knowing that my books are in her exceedingly capable hands. Relying on her provides me with a huge sense of relief and clears up so much additional time for me to focus on serving my clients and growing my practice. I trust and respect her judgment implicitly and I appreciate the very personal attention and service she provides. Also, she is an expert in accounting for law firms - law firms are their own unique type of organization and she is a true law firm guru! I recommend Jessica 100% and I encourage all legal professionals to work with her.

I ended 2021 by reviewing my P&G Plan for 2022 and the goals and tasks I had for the first quarter. Knowing my numbers and projections gave me the foresight, insight and confidence to work smarter. It paid off. I more than doubled my revenue, had the best January in any year in business, and am now on track to have the best year in business as well.

“Jessica and her team were able to get our books in order when several others had failed. Having clean accounting records has allowed us to work with Jessica at the CFO level and we now have projections and goals. The monthly reports and quarterly strategy sessions help us know whether we are on track for the year and we have much more confidence in the financial future of our firm.”

“This is the first time I have had advisory level help with my firm finances, and it has been great. I appreciate the data, feedback and someone to ask financial questions. I have now realized the benefit of keeping a close eye on my finances and am having a banner year as a result”!

“Working with Jessica and her team has made my accounting super easy. I don’t have to do anything; my reports show up in my inbox once a month like clockwork and I don’t have to think about it. Jessica works with my tax preparer at year end and the hand off of my financial information is seamless. Since working with Jessica, my firm has stabilized, and I have a sense of added security”.

“Jessica and her team get my books done on a consistent basis and they come in a nice and neat packet each month like clockwork. This allows me to have a really good idea of where things are at with my firm.”

“We get our reports every month in a timely manner. We have everything we need to evaluate how our firm is doing at our fingertips and don’t have to try to find it ourselves. Jessica and her team use very efficient and streamlined processes to make our accounting as easy for us as possible.”

“ Jessica and her team know legal accounting. They embrace technology and have strong processes to make it simple for me to get them the information they need. Not only is Jessica a great CPA, but she is an example of a successful business owner that I appreciate working with.”

“Working with a CPA that can explain when we have accounting questions has drastically helped our firm. Jessica understands the direction we want to go and works with us to come up with the best solution from both the accounting and operational sides. She is an expert in law firm accounting which has allowed us to feel confident in our financial decisions. Jessica also helped us get a loan for a building purchase we likely would not have gotten without her help.”

“I like working with an accounting firm that is responsive and I appreciate having help with my firm finances so that I can spend less time focusing on that area of my firm”.

“Working with Jessica and her team has given me piece of mind and helped me gain confidence in clearly knowing where I am at financially when I look at my numbers”.

“Since starting to work with Jessica and her team, I am so much more aware and feel more in control of what’s going on financially. I recently had a call with another service provider and he asked me for my financial information and I was able to provide it ALL”
