Ep 155 | Why Your Law Firm Needs CFO-Level Thinking (Not Just a Bookkeeper) with Natalia Zacharin

Why Your Law Firm Needs CFO-Level Thinking (Not Just a Bookkeeper) | Natalia Zacharin

Most law firm owners assume that having a bookkeeper and a tax person means their finances are covered. Fractional CFO and bookkeeping expert Natalia Zacharin of Zacharin Consulting joins Kelley Brubaker to explain why that assumption leaves dangerous gaps. In this conversation, Natalia breaks down why bookkeeping done without financial analysis is just data entry, why nearly 90% of financials she reviews are inaccurate despite having taxes filed, and what CFO-level thinking actually looks like in a growing law firm. She also shares real stories of double-booked revenue, undetected fraud, and the cash flow blind spots that quietly derail profitable firms.
