[themecolor]What is the difference between Lawyer Client’s Account and Accounting System? 律师楼会计系统和会计系统的区别是什么？[/themecolor]

既然Lawyer Client’s Account那么好，是不是意味着可以不用买会计软件，用Lawyer Client’s Account取代呢？

Since the Lawyer Client’s Account is such a good system, can you replace your accounting software with it?

Answer is no, you can’t.

Although the Lawyer Client’s Account can handle a lot of things, there is still a difference from an accounting system. The Lawyer Client’s Account only records the client’s information, but is unable to provide financial reports such as Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet for the company.

Therefore, a complete law firm system should consist of a Lawyer client’s account and an accounting system.

答案是：当然不可以。

虽然Lawyer Client’s Account能够处理很多东西，但它和会计系统还是有区别的。最主要的区别在于，它只是记录Clients的资料，却无法提供公司的资料予以报账。因此像Profit and Loss Account和Balance Sheet这类的必备财务报告，它并无法提供。

因此，律师楼必须同时间拥有Lawyer Client’s Account以及Accounting system才能算是真正的完整。
