Cabenet review
A trust-accounting-focused platform for established Australian law firms.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cabenet is cloud-based legal accounting and practice management software for Australian law firms. It brings certified trust and controlled-monies accounting together with trust-to-office transfers, reconciliations, matter billing, invoicing, client ledgers and statutory reporting. The platform also covers matter, safe custody, investment, power and estate registers, along with time recording, document workflows and AI-assisted document, email and accounting functions. It is aimed at firms that need accounting controls closely connected to matter and practice management.
Its plan structure scales by user count and storage. Level 1 supports up to three users with unlimited matters and Level 1 data storage, while Level 2 supports up to six users with unlimited matters and Level 2 data storage. The 7 or More plan provides unlimited users, unlimited matters and unlimited data storage. The published pricing details show AUD 90 per month for up to three users on the entry plan, while the advertised AUD 40 per-user price applies to the 7-or-more-user tier; listed AUD amounts exclude GST. There is no free plan, so firms should compare the tier structure with their staffing and storage needs.
Microsoft-centered firms get a broad integration set spanning Microsoft 365, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, To Do and Word. Higher-tier integrated practice management capabilities add client intake, document automation, workflow tools and AI-assisted functions. Cabenet is a focused choice for established practices that prioritize trust accounting, ledgers, reconciliations and compliance reporting alongside daily matter work. Firms seeking a free product, a non-web deployment option or a simpler accounting-only tool may find its scope and tier structure less suitable.
