Likelihood to Recommend

Wolters Kluwer CCH ProSystem fx is best suited for more experienced tax professionals that typically prepare more complicated individual returns (1040). It is also well suited for firms that prepare corporate, partnerships, estate/trusts, and other more detailed returns that require K-1's. The application is good for small and large teams due to the workflow that keeps everyone on the same page.

For smaller firms that prepare simple returns, there are other products in the market to fulfill those needs.

Pros

  • When updated, the tax software does well.
  • Their time and billing application also functions well.
  • The reporting capabilities are good.

Cons

  • Timely updates.
  • Audit software needs to improve its functionality and reduce the errors.
  • Autoflow functionality of their Scan application still requires lots of human interaction.

Likelihood to Recommend

It does well with preparing tax returns once all the updates are in. It does a good job of providing report creation flexibility. Their multiple applications communicate well with each other.

The Engagement module which is designed for audits needs improvement. So does their Scan module which is designed for document management.

Pros

  • Easy to use platform
  • Document retention accessibility
  • Digital library to prevent duplication of work

Cons

  • There are times in which the program does freeze/stopped processes
  • The binder search feature could be enhanced for easier use
  • Ability to change a client name and have it reflected in the local file room

Likelihood to Recommend

Given our industry (audit, tax & advisory services) having a centralized "binder" system to prevent duplication of efforts is paramount from an efficiency standpoint. Furthermore, the interface for sign-offs, file modification dates, the workpaper note features are fantastic to keep audit teams and other professional teams on the same page.
