At Ascendus, we provide bookkeeping for attorneys. Period. Like you and your law practice, we are not jacks of all trades, nor do we claim to do it all. We specialize in fully RPC-compliant bookkeeping and financial management so you can go home each night knowing your books – and your law license – are in good hands. We guarantee it.
We know how important this is; our CEO, Devon Thurtle Anderson, is an attorney licensed in four states, with over 18 years of experience in complex commercial litigation and business law. We understand the challenges, and solutions, of running a law firm, because we’ve lived it. So, make more time for what’s important to you. Whether that’s increasing your billables, getting home in time for dinner each night, or planning for long-term financial growth, let us handle the books and provide expert financial guidance through our Fractional CFO services.
Our team of advisors is led by Devon Thurtle Anderson, our Law Firm Specialist. Devon is a practicing attorney licensed in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and California, with a successful complex commercial litigation practice. Because Devon must abide by the same ethics rules in her practice as her clients do in theirs, you can rest assured that your trust funds and bookkeeping are being handled professionally and ethically. You’ll also know that you’ll have our years of experience running solo and small law firms, with a strategic financial advocate and advisor on your side, helping you achieve compliance, growth, and peace of mind.
