WHO WE WORK WITH

Client money management is getting more complex. We make it simpler. 

Legal firms, accountants and consultancies face increasing regulatory scrutiny around how they hold, move and account for client money. Caxton was built to take that burden off your hands - compliantly, securely and at scale.

TRUST AND COMPLIANCE

FCA authorised - protecting your reputation, your clients' money and your compliance 

We believe compliance and security are not hurdles professional services firms should have to carry. They are the weight Caxton chooses to bear on your behalf. Our compliance framework is built into every product from the ground up.

Our compliance framework
FOUNDED ON EXPERTISE, SERVICE AND TRUST

For 25 years we have earned trust through action, not badges 

Professional services firms operate in some of the most regulated, high-stakes environments in financial services. We have spent 25 years building the products, the team and the compliance infrastructure to serve them with confidence. Here is what that looks like in practice. 

CLIENT STORIES

The firm behind the firms

Why 95% of our professional services clients come back every year.

“We instructed Caxton as paying agent having heard strong things about their reputation. They more than lived up to it. Shareholders were onboarded without friction, compliance was thorough but efficient and the team remained hands-on and went over and above for us - right through to completion. Exactly what you need on a deal where timing is everything”

“Caxton's role as paying agent on this transaction was exemplary. With shareholders across multiple jurisdictions and a fixed completion deadline, there was no margin for error. They handled onboarding, compliance and payment execution with a precision that gave us complete confidence. When the green light was given, funds moved immediately.”

“Caxton has become a genuinely trusted extension of our payroll operation. Payments go out on time, every time - but what really sets them apart is the service. Their team knows our schedules, flags issues before they become problems and is always available. In three years, we have never had a payment fail.”

“When we needed to move our payment operations at short notice, Caxton had us fully up and running within 24 hours. Our clients noticed absolutely nothing - payroll ran on schedule without a single disruption. The speed, the governance and the hands-on support during that transition were extraordinary ”
