Introducing Jo Hamill: Strengthening legal accounting support for law firms

We're delighted to introduce Jo Hamill, who is working with Jayva in a consultancy capacity to strengthen the support we provide through our Accounting & Data Quality services.

With a 20-year background in legal finance, most recently via her business JH Legal Finance Solutions, Jo brings a wealth of practical expertise that will help you navigate the real-world challenges of managing accounts, maintaining compliance and enhancing financial efficiency.

Through her specialist training sessions in both LEAP Enterprise Accounting and Xero, Jo provides additional support across your legal accounting systems. Coupled with her extensive experience of legal bookkeeping, compliance and financial management, this positions her perfectly to empower you to streamline processes, strengthen controls and get the most from your technology.

Keeping you compliant and financially confident

Managing legal accounts requires much more than balancing your books. You operate within strict regulatory frameworks, including the SRA Accounts Rules, while also needing efficient procedures that support billing, reporting, cash flow management and business performance.

Jo's background spans both operational and leadership roles within law firms which means she understands first-hand the pressures you face and the importance of robust financial processes. By combining regulatory and software knowledge with practical operational know-how, Jo allows you to comply with regulators while creating better ways of working.

Supporting technology and finance together

One of Jo's key strengths is her ability to bridge the gap between accounting processes and legal technology. Jo’s training sessions reflect both the technical capabilities of your software and the practical realities of running a law firm. Through her teaching on LEAP Enterprise Accounting and Xero, you’re able to utilise these two platforms effectively and undertake your daily work optimally.

A collaborative and hands-on approach

Renowned for her approachable style and attention to detail, Jo enjoys working closely with you to identify opportunities for improvement and simplify complex accounting requirements. Her focus is always on helping you operate smoothly, become financially sound and free up valuable time to focus on delivering exceptional client service.

We’re thrilled to be working with Jo and look forward to the expertise, insight and support she'll bring to our clients and colleagues alike.
