Company Story

Ledger & Gavel was founded with one goal: to give small businesses the same level of accurate, courtroom-ready books once reserved for large firms. What began as a one-woman bookkeeping practice—started by Cynthia’s mother—has evolved over nearly two decades into a trusted, compliance-focused firm serving service providers across Florida. The personal attention and zero-error standards she instilled remain central to our work today.

Why “Ledger & Gavel”?

The name blends financial clarity (ledger) with our legal niche (gavel)—a promise that your books are built for full compliance, from trust accounting to due diligence.

Who We Serve

While we support a range of service-based businesses, we specialize in law firms and contractors. From trust compliance and client cost tracking to job costing and payroll, we help professionals stay organized, compliant, and confident in their numbers.

Our Guiding Values

Bookkeeping Platform

We use Quickbooks Online or Desktop exclusively. If you’re on other software, we migrate your historical data to QBO during onboarding.

02.

Practice Management Software

Yes. We routinely connect FileVine, Clio, MyCase, and similar tools so financial data flows automatically into QuickBooks.

Our Vision

I started Ledger & Gavel to fill a gap I saw in the legal industry—bookkeeping that understands the rules, respects the details, and puts people first. My vision is to create lasting partnerships with law firms who value integrity, responsiveness, and real support—so they can focus on their clients, while I focus on their financials.

Our Mission

At Ledger & Gavel, my mission is simple: to bring clarity, trust, and calm to the financial side of running a law firm. With nearly two decades of experience, I’ve built a service that’s not just about clean books—but about giving attorneys the confidence to grow their practice, knowing the numbers are handled with precision and care.
