The Cashroom

The Cashroom Ltd exists to deal with the day to day administration of a law firm’s finance function, ensure compliance with the Solicitor’s Accounts Rules, and provide firms with management information and Management Accounts. We provide the time and the information allowing solicitors to focus on their business.

The Cashroom provides a specialist accounting service to the legal profession, comprising an outsourced legal cashiering service, and an outsourced management accounting service. We now do this for almost 150 clients in the UK. Our legal cashiering service is delivered remotely by a team of qualified cashiers, working in our offices. We use our client’s own practice management system (there is no need to change system), logging on remotely to run their cash room, as if we were in the room next door.

We also provide an outsource management accounting service delivering management accounts and management information to law firms quickly and economically, often to firms who could not afford to employ a full-time accountant. More importantly, we work with clients to analyse that information, helping them understand their firm’s finances more clearly.

Lawyers are not accountants and employing, supervising and managing a cash room, was a worrying prospect for many solicitors. Our Legal Cashiering Service takes away that worry, running and managing a firm’s cash room, on an outsourced basis, and ensuring compliance with the Accounts Rules.

And we usually do it for around two thirds the cost of running an accounts function in-house.

OUR BACKGROUND

The Cashroom was founded in 2008 In Scotland. Ten years on we have over 70 employees between our Skelmersdale and Livingston offices.

Two of the company directors were previously partners within legal firms, which means we have a true understanding of the needs of a business and its leaders. The Cashroom provides a specialist accounting service to the legal profession, comprising an outsourced legal cashiering service, and an outsourced management accounting service. We do this for 150 clients in the UK. Our cashiering service is delivered remotely by teams of qualified cashiers.

We use each law firm’s own practice management system (there is no need to change system), logging on remotely to run their accounts as if we were in the room next door.

“Outsourcing to The Cashroom has been painless. So easy to deal with accommodating everything that we need to do, when we need to do it, whilst keeping us on the right side of the vast array of regulations. We have complete trust in them to ensure our compliance and have a Law Society Inspection Report which proves what a great job they are doing for us.
