Earmark funds with confidence

Client funds can be earmarked for specific purposes such as disbursements. Tessaract allocates and controls these funds automatically, preventing overspending and removing the need for manual tracking, while protecting compliance and client trust.

Connect fee earners
and finance

Fee earners request funds on account directly in the system, while finance generates client requests using templates.

When funds are received, transactions are pre-filled with key details, reducing errors, speeding up cash flow, and removing rekeying.

Full audit trail
from request to receipt

Track every request with a clear record of who, what, when and why.

From request through to posted transaction, maintain complete traceability, improving communication, strengthening compliance and reducing reliance on informal channels.

See every pound, trace every transaction

With client accounting native to Tessaract, it connects seamlessly to billing, matters and reporting.

Allocate funds to matters and settle invoices with full visibility, so you can track where money came from and how it was used.

This transparency strengthens compliance, improves efficiency and gives a clearer view of financial health.
