Law Offices of Robert M. Geller, P.A.
Step 01 The Situation — Private Engagement Portal

A successful firm. A control problem.

Revenue up 35% to $7.78M. The audit found the next million: 1,146 hired but never filed. $2.48M stuck between the hire and the filing. Spreadsheets and memory are holding it. A system is not.

Staff interviews across every department. 5 financial reports. 5 days onsite (May 7–13, 2026). Confidential.

The Numbers That Matter

12 months ended March 31, 2026. We pulled these from your P&L, your case management system, and your staff’s own words. No guesses.

Diagnosis

Geller is not a broken firm. Geller is a control problem hiding inside a successful firm.

Money moves through too many exception paths.

Bounces, ACH failures, chargebacks, refunds, online payments, cash and checks, old balances, payment plans, and system glitches — with no single finance control center.

Onboarding is a multi-platform relay race.

Contract, signature, payment setup, client access, folder creation, and case file setup are connected business events being handled as separate clerical tasks.

Spreadsheets are carrying the firm’s memory.

23+ manual trackers across 10 owners decide what happens next in billing, filing, client service, and 341 work. The evidence is one click away.

The audit is done. The findings are in. Read in order: evidence, then plan, then decision. Four steps. No homework required.
