What AccountEdge Offers

- Customer management, such as customer tracking and vendor information storage
- Various business reporting capabilities
- Full-service payroll management
- Credit card processing capabilities
Along with these basic accounting capabilities, AccountEdge also offers accounting systems tailored to the specific needs of legal practices. With no monthly subscription requirements, the system allows attorneys to maintain client contact information, to include up to five addresses, emails, phone numbers, and other essential details. The system also allows law firms to attach representation agreements directly to client contact cards and set appointment reminders as needed.
After a one-time initial purchase, law firms own the AccountEdge software, along with any financial data that has been added to it. The company offers annual upgrades at a discounted price for attorneys that want their latest and greatest accounting capabilities. According to the company, when compared to their competitors the cost to own the software helps law firms “spend hundreds not thousands.”
