Inside the AP Transformation of One of Florida’s Largest Law Firms

Legal operations are evolving,
and AP can’t be left behind.

For Cole, Scott & Kissane (CSK), a litigation powerhouse with over 500 attorneys across Florida, the traditional approach to accounts payable was no longer sustainable. Between hundreds of checks each month, strict compliance requirements, and manual routing across multiple offices, inefficiencies were inevitable — until they found a better way.

The Challenge

CSK needed a system that could:

  • Handle high check volume and recurring payments
  • Provide full control and transparency across multiple trust and operating accounts
  • Streamline workflows without disrupting their ERP, Aderant
  • Eliminate risk-prone manual steps — including printing and mailing checks

The CashCloud Difference

CSK partnered with CashCloud to implement a tailored AP automation platform built for the complexities of law firm operations. Key outcomes included:

  • 40%+ reduction in AP processing time
  • 113 checks imported in under 1 minute
  • Real-time tracking and audit logs
  • Zero fraud incidents post-launch
  • Improved visibility, compliance, and peace of mind
“With CashCloud, we finally feel like our systems are working for us.”
Lauren Polo Mendez, CSK
“CashCloud helped us take our time back for more strategic work.”
Joanne M. Collazo, CSK

Why It Matters

The CSK case study shows that even highly regulated, high-volume legal environments can modernize payments without sacrificing control. In fact, the right platform enhances it.
