About Accessible Family Law
Accessible Family Law is a boutique Melbourne-based firm serving clients across Australia.
With six dedicated professionals, they specialise in all aspects of family law, bringing a
deeply client-focused approach to what are often emotionally challenging situations.
Their Cash Flow Challenge
During property settlements following separation, Accessible Family Law’s clients face one
of life’s most stressful transitions. Many need to prioritise rehousing themselves and their
families, making it difficult to pay legal fees until property sales finalise—often months later.
“We have always sought to be client-focused and understand clients who seek to delay
payment of final accounts while they apply their income to rehousing following separation,”
explains Nicole Le Pou, Accessible Family Law’s Principal Lawyer.
While this compassionate approach strengthens client relationships, it created financial
pressure for the firm, diverting valuable resources to managing unpredictable cash flow.
Finding the Right Solution
After researching various financing options online, Accessible Family Law discovered
FundTap. They were drawn to the platform’s simplicity, flexible financing options, and
understanding of small business realities.
“Ease of use, capacity to borrow only small amounts, low interest rates”— these were the
factors that made FundTap stand out among alternatives like business overdrafts and credit
cards.
Impact On Accessible Family Law’s Business
Today, Accessible Family Law uses FundTap selectively to bridge the gap between
compassionate client service and sustainable business practices.
“It has allowed us to afford clients the chance to apply their income to rehousing whilst we
delay payment of final accounts. This has provided real-time assistance to clients right when
they need it and has been an incredibly positive service we can offer.”
For Accessible Family Law, FundTap isn’t just about maintaining cash flow—it’s about being
able to support clients during their most vulnerable moments without compromising the firm’s
financial health.
Why It Matters
What Accessible Family Law values most about FundTap goes beyond the financial
mechanics: “Responsive services and a real understanding of business and pressures
associated with cash flow.”
When asked to summarise FundTap’s impact in one sentence, Nicole’s response captures
both the practical and emotional benefits: FundTap provides “the flexibility to meet client
needs when they are most vulnerable.”
