Here’s what customers are saying about CCH Axcess Financial Prep.

"We are excited about the new integration between CCH Axcess Financial Prep and Xero™. The overall time savings, along with an increase in the quality of the initial return preparation, that this software and its integration with Xero™ will help our firm achieve is significant. No longer will we spend time diagnosing why a return won’t balance or if an expense account entry was omitted. Instead, we can now standardize our review process and verify that the tax return and trial balance truly match."

Donna Bordeaux, Calculated Moves, PC

"CCH Axcess Financial Prep is what the industry has been looking for. Firms want an integrated solution that will take data from a client system and get it into a format that can be reviewed, examined and seamlessly sent to the tax return – and that is what CCH Axcess Financial Prep does! Additionally, the integration with Xero™ allows us to instantaneously import our trial balances accurately into Financial Prep, saving us time. In turn, that allows us to spend more time focusing on our clients’ needs. Even more, it’s cloud based! CCH Axcess Financial Prep is the only solution in the market that flawlessly does all of this. Firms will love it!"

Jason & Bernie Ackerman, BNA CPAs & Advisors

"Now, our focus gets put back on the client, since we're saving 30-60 minutes per return. With CCH Axcess Financial Prep, there's no data entry. Plus, we use Xero™ so the solution directly pulls the ledger. Then, all we do is review for accuracy and simply push a button to send it to CCH Axcess Tax. The tax team gets to start with a draft tax return! All of that creates a huge time savings for improved productivity. The quality of our work is also improved."

Pat Generis, CPA, EA, Generis & Associates

"By utilizing cloud software, all that tax accounting clean-up work that you used to have to wait to do at year end goes away. Before, you couldn't get your QuickBooks file until March, and then you worked on it and spent half the time cleaning it up just to get a tax return. Now, with the integration between QuickBooks Online and CCH Axcess Financial Prep, you can do all that cleanup work before tax season so that during tax season all you are really doing is a couple of loan adjustments and depreciation … and that goes right into CCH Axcess Tax. Hello! Way less hours needed during tax season! To me, that's the best part of working in the cloud, and being connected to your customer all year long."

Jody Padar, CPA, CEO and Principal, New Vision CPA Group

"CCH Axcess Financial Prep is so easy, efficient and user friendly. It is amazing how it automatically assigns groups and easily creates journal entries. Everything is there, and is so much easier than with ProSystem fx Trial Balance. We will save about 25% of time, and that is a huge time-saver."

Christina Stewart, Senior Accountant, Fuller Witcher & Company, P.A.
