Outsourced Legal Cashiering for Licensed Conveyancers
CLC-regulated, InTouch specialists. We keep your client account accurate, reconciled and compliant — so you can focus on completions, not cashiering.
The pressure on a conveyancing cashier is relentless
Client money is high-stakes. A single missed reconciliation or breach can put your CLC licence at risk — and hiring, training and covering an in-house cashier is costly and fragile.
- Daily postings and three-way reconciliations that can never slip
- CLC Accounts Code compliance and breach reporting hanging over you
- No cover when your cashier is on holiday or off sick
- Keeping InTouch clean, accurate and audit-ready

Paul Barnes
Founder & Managing Director
Paul founded CASS in 2017 with a simple belief: business owners deserve far more than a once-a-year set of accounts and a tax bill. He believes accounting should provide the clarity and confidence to make better decisions throughout the year, helping businesses grow stronger, become more profitable and avoid costly mistakes before they happen.
His route into accounting wasn't the traditional one. After leaving professional football, Paul built his career in finance, business systems and process improvement. He later became Finance Director in a growing business, giving him first-hand experience of the pressures, opportunities and challenges that business owners face every day. Those experiences shaped the philosophy that still drives CASS today: Giving You More Than Numbers.
Today, Paul leads an award-winning Xero Platinum Partner practice supporting more than 150 businesses across the UK. Alongside helping clients build stronger businesses, he regularly speaks on business growth and financial strategy, hosts the Giving You More Than Numbers podcast, is the author of The Three Pillars of Smart Finance, and continues to develop innovative technology that helps businesses and accountants work smarter. His passion remains the same as it was when CASS was founded: giving business owners the insight, confidence and support they need to make better decisions and build businesses that thrive.

Frequently asked questions
General
What is outsourced legal cashiering?+
Outsourced legal cashiering lets your firm hand over the day-to-day management of your client and office accounts to an experienced legal cashier — without employing someone in-house. CASS becomes an extension of your team, managing your legal accounts accurately, securely and in line with the CLC Accounts Code, so you're free to focus on your clients.
Why should we outsource our legal cashiering?+
Outsourcing gives you experienced cashiering support without the cost and challenge of recruiting, training and retaining specialist staff. You also get access to additional expertise, continuity of service and support that scales as your firm grows.
Who do you work with?+
We specialise in supporting CLC-regulated Licensed Conveyancers and property law firms. We understand the SRA Accounts Rules too, so we can also support SRA-regulated firms doing conveyancing.
Can you work alongside our existing team?+
Absolutely. Whether you need full outsourcing or extra support for your existing legal cashier or finance team, we provide a flexible service that fits around your practice.
Do you only work with InTouch?+
Yes — we work exclusively with the InTouch system. That focus means genuine, in-depth expertise rather than shallow familiarity with lots of different systems.
Compliance
How do you help us remain compliant?+
Compliance sits at the heart of everything we do. We work in accordance with the CLC Accounts Code, making sure client money is managed correctly, reconciliations are completed on time and robust accounting controls are maintained.
Who is responsible for compliance?+
Your practice remains responsible for regulatory compliance, but we provide the accounting support, reports and controls to help you meet your obligations with confidence.
Can you help us prepare for a CLC inspection or Accountant's Report?+
Yes. We keep accurate accounting records and prepare reconciliation reports throughout the year, so you can demonstrate strong financial controls at inspection and your annual Accountant's Report is straightforward to prepare. We're happy to liaise with your reporting accountant.
What reports do you provide?+
We can provide regular reports including client account reconciliations, office account reconciliations, three-way reconciliations, residual client balance reports, debit balance reports, management information and compliance review reports.
What happens if you spot a breach?+
We flag potential breaches to you promptly, explain the issue in plain English, and support you with the steps needed to correct and, where required, report it to the CLC.
Day-to-Day Service
What does your legal cashiering service include?+
Our service can include client and office account transactions, bank reconciliations, client-to-office transfers, completion statements and completion accounting, ledger management, daily banking, financial reporting and month-end procedures.
Do you handle completions and same-day payments?+
Yes. Completion postings, transfers and time-critical same-day payments are all part of the day-to-day cashiering we manage for you within InTouch.
Will we have a dedicated contact?+
Yes. You'll have a dedicated day-to-day contact who gets to know your practice, your team and the way you like to work.
Can you support us during staff absence?+
Yes. Whether your cashier is on holiday, on maternity leave, off sick or has left unexpectedly, we can provide experienced cover — planned or at short notice — to keep your finance function running and your reconciliations up to date.
Can you clean up our existing ledgers?+
Yes. We regularly take on firms with historic or unreconciled ledgers and get them tidy, reconciled and audit-ready within InTouch.
Security
How do you keep our financial information secure?+
We use secure cloud-based systems, controlled access permissions and robust working practices to protect your firm's financial information.
Is our client money safe?+
Safeguarding client money is fundamental to our service. We follow strict accounting procedures and maintain robust financial controls throughout every transaction.
Pricing
How much does outsourced legal cashiering cost?+
Every conveyancing practice is different, so we provide a tailored quotation based on the level of support you need — you only pay for the services your firm genuinely requires.
Is there a minimum contract?+
We offer flexible arrangements to suit different practices. We'll discuss your requirements and recommend the most appropriate option for your firm.
