Clients Monies Service

What is CMS?

CMS is a PC-based electronic-banking system that gives you instant access to accounts and flexible management options.

Through a dial-up modem CMS connects securely to our system, allowing you to manage accounts for your clients money independently.

You are able to instantly set up unlimited Clients accounts and move money in and out of these CMS is designed to help you comply with your industrys regulations.

Manage Accounts

With CMS you can manage your third party funds in the way that best suits your business.

You can set up thousands of accounts. Accounts can be set up in an individual clients name or pooled. Even with pooled accounts the funds held on behalf of each client remain separate with individual audit records.

Youre able to create client reference numbers that match your internal records and produce a comprehensive range of reports.

Time-saving automation

CMS automatically generates client statements and tax certificates.

Export data

You can export data in standard formats that allow you to import them directly into your business systems.

Earn Interest

You could earn more interest by pooling your clients funds together. Interest can be paid monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually and client listings can be given different interest rate structures. You choose whether to pay all, some or none of the interest to your clients (subject to your professional regulations).

Interest is calculated automatically by CMS and can be paid gross or net of tax according to each clients tax position. CMS follows Inland Revenue regulations for interest payments.

Security

CMS runs from standalone or networked PCs that dial directly into our Clients Monies Service Centre via a secure connection. Logging on to CMS requires a combination of passwords and user IDs. Passwords are changed regularly for added security. The administrator is able to set different access levels to users in your business, ensuring confidential information can be protected.
