Professional Services
Law firms, consultancies, and advisory practices increasingly bill international clients in multiple currencies. Aetas Global helps you manage multi-currency invoicing, repatriate fees efficiently, and offer clients transparent settlement rates.
The Challenge
Billing international clients in their local currency while managing GBP repatriation creates FX complexity across every invoice cycle.
Transferring earned fees from foreign jurisdictions involves timing considerations and rate inefficiencies that compound across multiple matters.
Clients expect transparent, fair exchange rates when settling professional fees, opaque bank margins damage trust and repeat business.
The Aetas Solution
Receive and hold funds in multiple currencies, converting to GBP only when rates are favourable, not when the bank decides.
Offer clients local-currency payment options that build trust, while controlling your GBP conversion timing and rate.
Clear, upfront rates with no hidden spreads, so you can show clients exactly what they're paying and why your billing is fair.
Case Study
Client
A mid-size UK law firm with practices in corporate, IP, and disputes, billing clients across 6 jurisdictions in EUR, USD, CHF, and AED.
Challenge
The firm was losing 3–4% on every international fee collection through their bank's retail FX margins. Fee repatriation was slow and opaque, with clients frequently questioning the exchange rates applied to their invoices.
Our Approach
We set up multi-currency collection accounts allowing the firm to receive client payments in local currency. Conversion to GBP was timed strategically, and the firm could provide clients with transparent rate confirmations at the point of payment.
