Approachable Bookkeepers & Hassle-Free Cashiers

We used to run Legal Cashier / Solicitors Accounts Rules Training courses in Central London. Unfortunately we don't do this any more. They were great days - they used to be one day / half-day, but we just don't have the time, energy or resources to continue with these.

Instead, we have a distance learning option. This is aimed at existing cashiers who want to brush up on their skills, bookkeepers who want to know more about legal bookkeeping and solicitors accounts.

Legal Bookkeeping Courses


"A very good course covering the basics of legal bookkeeping at the appropriate level for beginners." Hong Tran, Consultant

Boogles Legals have identified the weaknesses in the knowledge of what accounts people need to know when working with solicitors, and have devised a course to fill in this gap.  

Comments from June 2011 session:

"This was a useful quite detailed session"

"Very informative"

"I enjoyed the course very much - very helpful & useful in the future"

"Surprisingly interesting"


"This course has been very useful as a refresher, because the rules change" P Popat, Cashier
