Ledger Brief Take
This is legal industry software first, accounting software second — Clio's trust accounting capabilities specifically serve IOLTA requirements that general accounting tools can't handle. While it covers time tracking and billing comprehensively, you're paying for a full practice management suite even if you only need the financial components.
