About Scarborough Consulting

SCARBOROUGH CONSULTING was founded in 2006 by a seasoned professional with a remarkable journey in the accounting and legal industries. The founder's career began with small enterprises, progressing through various roles in the building and legal sectors, showcasing adaptability and dedication throughout.

With the acquisition of Perfect Balance by LEAP, the founder spent over two years traveling across NSW, overseeing data platform transitions for various law firms. This experience provided invaluable insights into the diverse needs of legal practices and laid the foundation for Scarborough Consulting.

Scarborough Consulting was born out of a vision to offer quality service and support to LEAP users. Over the years, the company has expanded its services, working with numerous firms in various capacities, including collaborations with The Law Society. The firm has built a reputation for assisting practices with their Trust accounts and providing comprehensive support in legal accounting.

With nearly 25 years of experience in the legal industry, Scarborough Consulting brings extensive expertise in Trust accounting, system implementation, and training. The company is proficient in Smokeball Legal Software and XERO accounting, including Payroll, and is a registered BAS agent for the ATO. As a gold member of MYOB, Scarborough Consulting continues to innovate and streamline processes for its clients.

Today, Scarborough Consulting offers a wide range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of legal practices. From firm creation and winding down to part-time accounting and Trust work, the company provides comprehensive solutions. With a commitment to quality, innovation, and client-focused service, Scarborough Consulting continues to be a trusted partner for law firms seeking expert financial guidance and support.

"I have been in legal practice for over 30 years. I cannot recommend Suzanne highly enough to those seeking Accounting advice/assistance. Suzanne was recommended to me to assist with our Trust Accounting. She is professional, dedicated, hardworking and above all a wonderful person. When asked whether I would provide some words for Suzanne's website, my only hesitation was the knowledge that I would be restricted in the content of my opinion of her."
