"Janet and JSC Legal Accounting have management of the books of account for my moderately complex legal and general business interests for more than twenty years. Over those many years her wisdom, accuracy and care has been truly tried and tested. She is a consummate professional in every respect."

Janet Clothier
Janet Clothier is the Founder and President of JSC Legal Accounting. She has been specializing in accounting and administration services, primarily for small law firms, since 1986. In 2015 she transitioned her firm into a virtual one, allowing all her team members to work from home. When COVID-19 hit in early 2020, this enabled JSC Legal Accounting to assist clients effectively and efficiently during the lockdown. With the depth of experience she has developed from so many years in law firm accounting, Janet is well positioned to take on any small law firm’s requirements, no matter how complex.
When she is not working, Janet is paddling, training and racing on outrigger and dragon boat teams, both in Vancouver and around the world.
