You keep one record, not two
‍

The client ledger isn't something anyone maintains - it's simply what your entries add up to.

Every balance can be explained

Your records match your bank statement, and each entry shows when the money moved and why.

Retainers keep pace with the work

You stay ahead of the balances and follow up long before a client's retainer runs out.

Trust accounting that keeps up with you

Smokeball keeps trust accounting and the work in one place, so there's nothing to re-enter, nothing to assemble, nothing to watch

Every transaction, recorded against its matter

Whether it's a deposit, a payment out, or trust money applied to an invoice, Smokeball records it against the matter and the account it belongs to, so a client's balance is never something you go looking for.

Three-way reconciliation, provable any day

You always have the records behind the numbers. Key in the closing balance from your statement, match it off, and the three-way reconciliation is done, with the detail behind every transaction and client balance already in the reports.

We also include videos that explain the concept, go deeper on the subject, or maybe might spark some new ideas for the resources that you're using.

Every matter stays funded

Stay on top of every retainer without watching balances. Anything under your minimum turns red, and you can email clients all at once to request more funds, each with a link that takes them straight to payment.

These are the foundations you’ll rely on for every award-worthy project. Master the basics, and the flashy stuff will actually have something solid to stand on.

QuickBooks synced automatically

Smokeball keeps the trust and client ledgers; QuickBooks Online keeps the general ledger.

Deposits and payments recorded in Smokeball carry across, so nobody enters them twice
