Our focus on trust accounting and legal bookkeeping will ensure that your firm becomes and remains in compliance with the rules set out by your Law Society.
How We Started
Alex Cabrera is the Founder of SMS Accounting. After obtaining a university degree in accounting, he accumulated over 15 years of experience working in different types of organizations, both private and public, fulfilling roles from Junior Accountant all the way to Finance Manager and Controller.
This experience led him to start SMS Accounting back in 2021. Their first client was a prominent emigration law firm based in Vancouver. Realizing the huge need for knowledgeable accountants and bookkeepers in the legal industry, SMS Accounting decided to specialize and focus entirely on law firms.
