About Your Instructor - Keith Hill Jr.
Keith's journey in bookkeeping which has led to this legal accounting training course began in 2005 at BMCC College in NYC, where he studied accounting and finance. Balancing studies with personal responsibilities, he freelanced as a bookkeeper, frequently travelling between Toronto and NYC. This period laid the groundwork for his deep understanding of the field.
In 2012, Keith transitioned from general bookkeeping to help launch and manage a legal bookkeeping company in Toronto, while being mentored by his brother, a CPA. Over the next seven years, he helped expand the legal bookkeeping company from a modest number of clients to over 200 law firms.
By 2019, armed with a wealth of experience and a clear vision, Keith launched 'Bookkeeping Matters' a company that has since become a trusted legal bookkeeping partner for law firms stretching from Ontario, Canada to California.
Keith's commitment to legal bookkeeping extends to education. He has served as a Professor of Legal Accounting at George Brown College. This role refined his passion for teaching and his skills for creating effective training materials.
