About Us
Who We Are
Law Firms CFO is a specialized division of ZMC & Associates LLC, created exclusively to serve small and midsize law firms across the United States.
We are not a bookkeeping shop.
We are not a once-a-year tax firm.
We are your outsourced CFO and strategic financial command center, a team that understands the financial, operational, and regulatory complexities unique to U.S. law firms.
From ABA trust accounting rules and IOLTA compliance to IRS tax strategy and partner compensation modeling, we bring clarity to law firm finances. With Law Firms CFO, you don’t just get compliance, you gain confidence, control, and a clear growth path.
Our Mission
To empower US law firms with financial clarity, compliance, and CFO-level leadership.
We believe every firm, whether a solo practice in Florida, a 10-attorney family law firm in New York, or a 25-lawyer litigation firm in California, deserves strategic financial guidance without the cost of hiring a full-time, in-house CFO.
What We Stand For
Our work is guided by principles that drive measurable results for law firm owners:
- More Money in Your Pocket
Proactive tax planning designed to legally minimize IRS liability. - Less Time Wasted
Streamlined systems and automation that reduce manual accounting tasks. - No Tax Surprises
Ongoing reviews and quarterly strategy calls to stay ahead of tax exposure. - Profit Protection
Real-time financial reporting to monitor margins and cash flow. - Clear Wealth Pathways
Long-term planning that turns a law practice into a valuable asset.

Our Story: From ZMC to Law Firms' CFO
Founded in 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia, ZMC & Associates LLC provided outsourced CFO services to growing US businesses. Over time, one issue became clear: law firms were underserved.
While traditional accountants focused on compliance, law firms needed:
- Strategic guidance
- Partner equity modeling
- Trust accounting expertise
That gap led to the creation of Law Firms CFO, a division dedicated entirely to legal professionals. Today, we combine:
- The credibility and scale of ZMC & Associates
- The niche expertise of a law-firm-only CFO team
