Client money

Money held for clients kept in its own account against the matter, moved to the office account only for a billed fee by a person, and reconciled monthly.

  1. Client money received into the client account
  2. Held against the matter, never as fee income
  3. Transfer to the office account for a billed fee approved
  4. Client account reconciled monthly

Disbursements

Court, filing and third-party fees paid for a client, linked to the matter and recharged on the next bill.

Scope to review with your team

  • Client money is kept in its own liability account and bank account; transfers to the office account are always a person's decision.
  • Conflict checks search the customer and matter lists; there is no separate conflicts database.
