Built for Law Firms. Backed by 14+ Years of Expertise.
Trust & Trial Accounting is the law firm-focused brand of CFO Services Group — a DC-based management accounting firm that understands the unique financial demands of legal practice.
Why We Built Trust & Trial
After years of serving law firms through CFO Services Group, we saw a pattern: firms were struggling with the same financial pain points — trust accounting compliance, late billing, partner distribution confusion, and systems that didn't talk to each other.
These aren't generic bookkeeping problems. They're law-firm-specific challenges that require law-firm-specific expertise. That's why we created Trust & Trial Accounting — a dedicated practice built around the financial complexity of legal work.
Led by Manny Cosme (MBA, 14+ years in managerial accounting), our team brings deep experience in trust accounting, IOLTA compliance, partner distributions, matter profitability, and the legal software ecosystem.
