The Only Scary Thing This Halloween Should Be Running Out of Sweets!

Halloween should be all about pumpkins on the doorstep, kids in costumes, and the odd fright when you realise you’ve answered the door with no sweets left. What it shouldn’t be is the horror story of choosing the wrong outsourced legal cashiering provider. Unfortunately, for some firms, that “cheap” option turns out to be a nightmare far worse than facing disappointed trick-or-treaters. 

At Cashroom, we hear too many stories from firms who’ve been tricked into thinking they’ve found a bargain, only to find the true cost lurking in the shadows, then they come to Cashroom for help. Here’s what can happen when the wrong provider knocks on your door. 

A Price Hike Disguised as a Treat 
What began as a reasonable fixed fee quickly turned into a nasty shock; fees hiked by more than 30%, despite a contract stating otherwise, no notice and no explanation. No discussion, no negotiation, just a trick that left the firm trapped. 

At Cashroom, our pricing is transparent. No nasty surprises, no hidden clauses, just clarity and fairness. We review annually and will discuss our pricing openly with every client. 

The Disappearing Cashier Act 
With the cheaper option, consistency vanished like a ghost in the night. Multiple cashiers rotated in and out, mistakes crept in, and relationships never had a chance to build. Cashroom clients get a dedicated, stable team who know your firm inside out, always reliable, always there when you need us. We also provide our own secure portal with a clear, visible audit trail, so you can see exactly what’s happening and when. No confusion, no surprises. Unlike other providers still relying on outdated and highly risk-prone email communication, we deliver a modern, transparent, and safe service you can trust.  

Double-Counting: The Zombie Bill That Wouldn’t Die 
Another fright came from double-charging. Transactions were counted twice across synced systems, artificially inflating the bill. Suddenly the “cheap” option wasn’t so cheap after all. 

Cashroom’s billing is simple, fair, and transparent – no zombie charges clawing their way back onto your invoice. 

A Chaotic Handover: The Final Jump Scare 
When the firm tried to escape, the handover was rushed and botched, leaving accounts in a mess. Their accountants had to swoop in at the last minute to salvage the situation and of course there was a high charge for this. At Cashroom, transitions are smooth and professional, ensuring your financial data is safe and secure. 

Don’t Let the Wrong Choice Haunt You 
The lesson is clear: the cheapest option can turn out to be the costliest. Poor service, unfair billing, and broken promises don’t just waste money, they waste time and peace of mind. 

This Halloween, the only scary thing should be forgetting where you hid the sweets and hearing the doorbell ring. Don’t let a poor provider haunt your firm. With Cashroom, you get more than value. You get confidence, clarity, and the backing of an experienced team that’s always on your side.
