GROWTH Accounting Solutions #
Website: https://growthaccsolutions.com
GROWTH Accounting Solutions is an accounting and bookkeeping firm that, according to its own materials, works exclusively with law firms. The firm’s website does not state a street address or service city, and it presents its practice around the specialized needs of legal practices rather than a particular local market. The firm states that accounting for law firms differs from other businesses because of requirements such as IOLTA rules, matter billing, and trust accounts, and it positions itself as a specialist in those areas rather than a generalist bookkeeper.
A central theme of the firm’s materials is trust account compliance. The firm describes IOLTA and trust account management as including three-way reconciliation, bar compliance, retainer tracking, and audit-ready books. It states that trust account errors are a leading cause of bar discipline and frames its trust accounting work around helping attorneys keep books that are prepared for audit.
The firm lists a set of services built for law firms. These include accounting and bookkeeping, described as monthly close, transaction coding, bank reconciliation, financial reporting, accounts payable and receivable, and 1099 management. The firm also offers payroll services covering payroll processing for attorneys and staff, compensation management, and payroll tax compliance. A matter-level profitability tracking service is described as a way to see which clients, cases, and practice areas are generating revenue. The firm offers a fractional controller service, which it presents as controller-level oversight for firms that already have an in-house team, and a cleanup and catchup bookkeeping service for firms whose books are behind or disorganized.
The firm presents comparisons in its materials addressing the cost of doing bookkeeping in-house versus outsourcing, as well as the time involved, and it lists figures and pricing ranges related to those comparisons. These figures appear in the firm’s marketing materials as illustrations of potential savings and recovered time. The firm states that its accounting and bookkeeping services are built exclusively for law firms.
GROWTH Accounting Solutions identifies two co-founders in its team section. Dylan McMurrey, MAcc, is described as a co-founder with a background in public accounting, including experience working with government contractors, and is listed in roles related to lead controller, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and IOLTA specialist. Cayson Files, MBA, is described as a co-founder with experience as a senior accountant across a variety of businesses, and is associated with systems optimization, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and IOLTA specialist roles. The firm characterizes itself as two accounting professionals rather than a faceless firm, and states that it was built so that law firms could work with specialists.
The firm publishes resources aimed at law firm leaders, including a guide to law firm accounting that covers IOLTA trust accounts, bar compliance, monthly close, and financial reporting; an article on law firm profits per partner; and a piece on accounting software for small law firms that addresses billing cycles and cash flow. The firm offers a free consultation, which it describes as a chance to learn about a firm, assess its needs, and explain how it can help.
Because the firm’s published materials are organized entirely around legal practices and do not reference contractor, trades, or home-service clients, this listing reflects that exclusive focus. The website reviewed does not include a phone number, a physical address, or a stated geographic service area, so those details are omitted here. Readers seeking law firm bookkeeping, IOLTA and trust account management, payroll, matter profitability tracking, or fractional controller support can reference the firm’s website for further information on its services and consultation process.
