How Wilson Howe transformed company compliance with BGL CAS 360

“Technology should give our team more time to support clients—not create more administration. CAS 360 has done exactly that. It’s helped us streamline our compliance processes, improve the client experience and free up valuable time to focus on what really matters – our customers.”
– Matthew Howe, Partner, Wilson Howe

At Wilson Howe, we’re always looking for smarter ways to work. Every improvement we make has one goal in mind: reducing administration so our team can spend more time delivering great advice and support to our clients.

As our business grew, we recognised that our company compliance processes needed to evolve too. We wanted a cloud-based solution that would simplify compliance, improve collaboration, and make it easier for clients to engage with us.

Following a recommendation from FuseSign, we were invited to join the early pilot programme for BGL CAS 360. It was an opportunity to do more than simply adopt new software—we could help shape it. Working closely with the BGL team, we provided real-world feedback that contributed to a solution designed around the needs of both accountancy firms and their clients.

Once we saw the capabilities of CAS 360, the decision to implement it was an easy one.

A smoother way of working

Since implementing BGL CAS 360 in 2025, we’ve transformed the way we manage company compliance.

Instead of juggling multiple processes and systems, we now have one central platform that keeps our compliance work organised, connected and visible across the practice. Routine tasks are more streamlined, client communication is clearer, and our team spends significantly less time following up outstanding information.

The result is a more efficient practice—and a better experience for our clients.

The impact

The benefits were clear almost immediately:

  • Up to one hour saved per client every year, freeing up valuable time across the practice.
  • 2.5–3 weeks of administration saved annually, allowing our team to focus on our clients.
  • Clear, step-by-step client communications, making compliance easier for clients to understand and complete.
  • Improved client response rates, reducing the need for follow-up reminders.
  • A single source of truth for company compliance across the practice.
  • Seamless two-way integration with our core practice management system, reducing duplicate data entry, improving visibility and increasing confidence in our data.

More than efficiency

The biggest benefit hasn’t simply been the time we’ve saved—it’s what we’ve been able to do with that time.

By reducing manual administration and creating more efficient workflows, our team can focus on what matters most: building stronger client relationships, providing proactive advice and delivering an even better level of service.

For our clients, the compliance process is simpler, clearer and more responsive. For our team, it’s given us confidence that we’re working with accurate, up-to-date information in one connected system.
