Founded by Savannah Arrington.

My name is Savannah Arrington. I’ve spent the past 10 years working in the financial industry, with experience in both financial aid and bookkeeping. Over time, I discovered just how much I enjoy giving a business clarity and peace of mind. I started Cypress Books not only to follow that passion, but also to create a life where I could do meaningful work while being present with my family.

I specialize in working with law firms because I understand the unique financial challenges they face: tight margins, compliance requirements, and the pressure of scaling a service-based business

Who we are

Financial clarity, built for the way law firms actually work.

Cypress Books exists because most law firms run on financial guesswork. Partners can describe a case in detail but can't tell you which practice areas are profitable. Trust account reconciliations fall behind. Cash flow tightens even as revenue grows. And nobody — not the firm administrator, not the outside accountant, certainly not the partners working until midnight — has a real-time view of where the firm stands.

We change that.

Cypress Books delivers a proprietary financial dashboard, full trust account compliance, and the strategic finance support law firms need to grow with confidence. We're not a generalist bookkeeping shop that happens to take law firm clients. Our tools, workflows, and reporting are built specifically for how law firms earn, bill, hold client money, and make partner decisions.

What we deliver:

  • Real-time financial dashboards designed for law firms

  • Three-way reconciliation and IOLTA / trust account compliance

  • Profitability and realization analytics

  • Strategic finance: partner distributions, hiring decisions, growth modeling

Who we serve:

Solo and small law firms — typically 3 to 15 attorneys — who are growing and want their financial systems to grow with them. Plaintiff PI, family, business, estate, and criminal defense practices all welcome. Currently serving firms across Virginia and nationally from our home base in Charlottesville.
