100% LPC Rule 54 compliant — out of the box

The Legal Practice Council requires every attorney to maintain a separate trust account, reconcile it monthly, and retain records for five years. TrustEasyGo automates every one of those obligations.

Section 86(1) — Separate trust account

Every rand in your trust account is tracked independently from your business account with a full double-entry ledger.

Section 86(4) & 86(5) — Interest on trust funds

Automatically calculates and allocates interest earned on pooled and separate trust investments.

Rule 54.9 — Monthly three-way reconciliation

Cashbook vs bank statement vs total client ledgers. Every month. Difference flagged the moment it arises.

Five-year record retention

All transactions, statements and reconciliations are stored securely and are always accessible for LPC inspections.

FICA / KYC client verification

Track verification dates, ID numbers, risk ratings and expiry per file. Know your FICA status at a glance.

Up and running in minutes

No accountant required. No setup fee. No steep learning curve — just a clean workflow that mirrors how South African legal practices actually operate.

01

Create your practice & open your trust account

Register, add your practice details, and TrustEasyGo automatically sets up your Chart of Accounts — trust, business, suspense, bills payable — correctly configured for LPC compliance.

02

Open client files and capture trust receipts

Each matter gets its own file with a dedicated ledger. Record trust receipts and payments as they happen — every entry updates the cashbook and client ledger simultaneously.

03

Record invoices & request disbursements

Capture advocate, sheriff and expert invoices against the correct file. Raise a disbursement — if it exceeds your approval threshold, it automatically routes to a second signatory.

04

Upload your bank statement & reconcile

Import your monthly bank statement via Excel. TrustEasyGo matches entries automatically and builds the three-way reconciliation. Submit it in one click when it balances.

05

Export reports for your annual audit

Download the full audit pack — General Ledger, Trial Balance, Cashbook, Reconciliations — as an Excel ZIP. Hand it to your auditor and you are done.
