My last job before retirement was running the accounts office of a legal firm that did a lot of conveyancing (on a busy Friday it was possible that I would have to set up, check and send five or six million pounds from the firm's client account for for purchases). I only had to warn my employers once that multi-tasking means that nothing gets my full attention, so did they want to take the risk?
I offered them the choice of minimised risk (allowing me to concentrate only on conveyancing that day), or increased risk by expecting me to do other things too. Since the financial consequences of a mistake would be their problem, they wisely chose the option of minimised risk. Conveyancing can be a 'minefield' of financial risk for small firms - not only because of payment errors but also for compliance with the money laundering regulations regarding funds sometimes received from clients for house purchase.
