Are you tired of riding the cash flow rollercoaster in your law firm? Maybe you hold your breath between case settlements, wonder where the money really goes, or feel that familiar stress when your income dips unexpectedly. If so, you aren’t alone and you definitely don’t have to figure this out on your own.
