      Trust Accounting Settings

      Amberlo makes it easy to manage all funds held in trust on behalf of your clients.
      Most jurisdictions require that law firms address three primary requirements when managing client funds (be sure to check with your local authority for rules that apply to your law firm):
      Account identification. Law firms must deposit funds into an account specifically labeled as a trust account.
      Segregation of accounts. Law firms must keep client funds separate from a lawyer’s own funds.
      Accounting records. Law firms must create and maintain appropriate records of funds belonging to their clients.
      Once you have administrator rights in Amberlo you can access and manage Trust Accounting Settings.
