Sierra Legal’s previous trust accounting system was clunky, manual, and inefficient. Key issues included:
- Complex, multi-step month-end reconciliations
- Reliance on external accountants for parts of the process
- Limited financial visibility & reporting
With their previous setup, trust accounting took up unnecessary time and resources, leading to manual processes that slowed down month-end compliance and billing cycles.
"We used to rely on an external accountant to update records and generate trust receipts. With MatterX, it's so intuitive we handle it all internally now." – Michael Jeffery, Sierra Legal
