Nominal Codes Built Into Your Legal Accounting System

Hoowla’s nominal code functionality is integrated directly into your legal accounting records, meaning every transaction can be categorised as it is recorded.

Nominal codes can be created and customised to reflect how your firm manages its accounts, allowing you to organise transactions across categories such as income, expenses, and assets.

Because nominal codes sit within the same system as your client and office ledgers, they are applied consistently across your accounting data, without the need for external tools or manual reclassification.

The Problem with Rigid or External Nominal Structures

Limited Flexibility in Traditional Systems

Standard accounting setups often force firms into fixed nominal structures that don’t reflect how they actually operate.

Disconnected Financial Data

When nominal coding sits outside your case or ledger data, it becomes harder to maintain consistency across transactions, reports, and reconciliations.

Manual Reclassification

Reworking transactions into the correct categories after the fact adds time and increases the risk of errors.

Flexible Nominal Codes That Match Your Firm

Hoowla gives you the ability to define your own nominal structure, so your accounting reflects how your firm works, not the other way around.

Custom Nominal Code Creation

Create nominal codes based on your firm’s accounting requirements, including categories for revenue, expenses, and assets.

Assign Codes to Transactions

Apply nominal codes to accounting entries as they are recorded, ensuring every transaction is categorised correctly from the start.

Built Around Client & Office Accounting

Nominal codes work across both client and office ledgers, supporting structured accounting records while maintaining clear separation of funds.

Reflect How You Report

Firms can tailor nominal codes to match internal reporting preferences, making it easier to analyse financial data in a way that suits their business.

Better Reporting Starts with Better Structure

Using nominal codes within Hoowla improves the quality and clarity of your financial reporting.

Because transactions are categorised consistently, your reports provide a clearer picture of your firm’s financial position and performance.

Nominal coding supports:

  • More meaningful financial reports
  • Clear categorisation of income and expenditure
  • Improved visibility across financial data
  • Easier internal analysis and decision-making

Nominal Codes Linked to Real Accounting Activity

Unlike systems where nominal codes are applied after export, Hoowla connects them directly to:

  • Client and office ledger transactions
  • Case-related financial activity
  • Billing and invoicing processes
  • Reporting outputs

This ensures that every figure in your accounts is structured, traceable, and aligned with the underlying financial data.

Built for Legal Accounting Compliance

Hoowla’s legal accounting system is designed to support structured financial record keeping, including:

  • Clear categorisation of financial activity
  • Separation of client and office accounting
  • Consistent and traceable accounting records

This helps firms maintain organised financial data in line with legal accounting requirements while reducing reliance on manual processes.

A Simpler Way to Manage Your Nominal Structure

Most accounting systems treat nominal codes as a static chart that sits outside your day-to-day work.

Hoowla takes a different approach.

Nominal codes are part of your everyday accounting workflow, applied at the point of entry, aligned with your ledgers, and reflected automatically in your reporting.

Take Control of Your Legal Accounting Structure

Customise your nominal codes, improve reporting clarity, and structure your financial data with a system designed for law firms.
