Solicitor Trust Account Audit – Fast & Fair

Every law firm in Australia holding client funds in trust must have their trust accounts audited annually by a qualified, independent auditor to comply with state and territory legal practice regulations. Whether you're governed by the NSW Law Society, Queensland Law Society, or another jurisdiction, trust account compliance is mandatory. Finding an auditor who understands legal practice rules, trust reconciliation, and audit certificate requirements shouldn't slow you down. AuditLink connects you with 3-6 experienced legal trust account auditors who provide transparent, fixed-price quotes within 24-48 hours.

Typical Deadlines & Timeframes

Solicitor trust account audit requirements vary by state, but most require an annual audit within 3-4 months of your financial year-end. For firms operating on a 30 June year-end, this typically means your audit must be completed by 31 October. Some jurisdictions also require monthly or quarterly reconciliations and periodic reporting to the law society. Missing the audit deadline can result in fines, practising certificate issues, or regulatory investigation. Peak audit season for law firms is July to October, so posting your job in July ensures you avoid the deadline rush.

What Does a Solicitor Trust Account Audit Cost in 2025?

Solicitor trust account audit fees typically range from $1,200 to $4,000 depending on firm size, transaction volume, and trust account complexity. Sole practitioners or small firms with under 100 annual trust transactions usually pay $1,200-$1,800. Medium-sized firms handling 100-500 transactions pay $1,800-$2,800. Large firms, multi-partner practices, or those with multiple trust accounts, high transaction volumes, or compliance issues can expect $2,800-$4,000+. Our marketplace ensures you're comparing qualified auditors at fair market rates.

Why Clients Hate Doing This Themselves

Most law firm principals and practice managers find trust account audits stressful. You're already managing client matters, court deadlines, and compliance obligations—now you need to track down an auditor who's experienced in legal practice regulations, responsive, and won't charge excessive fees. Many auditors quote over the phone without understanding your trust account structure, then hit you with scope creep charges for 'complex reconciliations' or 'additional testing.' The process drags on for weeks with constant requests for bank statements, receipts, and trust ledgers, and one missed deadline can put your practising certificate at risk.
