"Colleen is a seasoned professional, very knowledgeable, detail oriented, prompt and practical. I have benefitted tremendously from her assistance and her analysis and experience with respect to particular accounting matters that I’ve addressed in developing my legal practice. I highly recommend Collen Cowan as an accounting and PCLaw service provider for any size law firm."

"I have been working with Colleen since 2009 and right from the beginning we clicked. Always very pleasant and eager to come up with a solution to any problem. If in doubt, she researches or connects with others and responds in a timely fashion. Colleen has helped over the years with everything from basic accounting needs to very complex issues within PC Law including the template editor. She designed the majority of our templates that we still use today. She has prepared and guided me through multiple Law Society Audits, and reconciled differences while communicating with PC Law tech support. I call Colleen before I call PC Law tech support and that will continue."

"Colleen has been invaluable and instrumental in the transition to the Soluno software program including all accounting aspects of the company as well as administrative functions. Colleen has always provided clear advice and guidance in a prompt efficient manner. Her knowledge, her attention to detail and her pleasant personality makes her a pleasure to work with."

Cari Gionet

"Colleen Cowan is a first rate professional, in whom you can place your complete confidence. Our buiness has relied on her services for almost 20 years because we can bank on her strategic thinking, accuracy, reliability and all-round superior service. She takes complex financial concerns and generates sound, profitable solutions. Beyond this, she is an accessible and engaging professional. We recommend her with enthusiasm and confidence."

Tessa Bair

Bair Family Law PC

"I met Colleen in 1990 when she was the office manager of the law firm I joined. I quickly came to appreciate her competence, patience, integrity and good humour. I was sad to see her leave when she started her own office management firm. Some years later when I started my own law firm, I immediately retained Colleen as my independent office manager. She promptly and successfully handled every management detail, which allowed me to concentrate on practicing law. So much have I come to trust and rely on Colleen, that I have entrusted her with my personal as well as professional financial affairs. I know of no one on whom I would rather rely. And Colleen is one of the nicest people I have ever met."

Daniel Dooley, LL.B., LL.M., C.S.

Dooley Lucenti LLP

"When I started my own law firm in 2010, I was referred to Colleen to manage the firm’s books. Happily, Colleen agreed to take me on as a new client. Now, eight years later, I cannot imagine working with anyone else in this capacity. Colleen is so much more than an outstanding bookkeeper: she’s an advisor, someone who looks out for our firm’s best interests, and is proactive in making sure things run smoothly. She understands the Law Society of Ontario’s requirements and deadlines, and she is exceptionally knowledgeable about PCLaw. Colleen has a very professional and friendly manner, and I highly recommend her."

Gayle T. Brock

Brock Medical Malpractice Law PC

"Colleen brings with her an air of confidence and competence that raises the bar for everyone she works with. Her skills and knowledge in bookkeeping and PC Law provided us comfort and reassurance that all matters would be handled professionally. It was a privilege to work with Colleen and any company employing her services would be better for it."

A Note From Colleen

Saving You Time & Money for Over 20 Years

The business side of running a law firm is critical, but often onerous.

The owner needs to stay involved, without being over-burdened with non-billable work.  My role is to help you find the right balance.

I respect each firm has its own vibe, strengths and challenges.  I will work with you, and your team, to find the right solution.

Change is not easy, and can be disruptive, but even the smallest worthwhile change is meaningful.

Please contact me if you are interested in exploring the possibilities change can bring.
