Wolters Kluwer Launches Client Collaboration Module

Wolters Kluwer has announced the addition of the CCH Axcess Client Collaboration module to its award-winning CCH Axcess cloud-based tax preparation, compliance and workflow management solution.

The new CCH Axcess Client Collaboration module saves firms and their clients time when engaging, onboarding, and collaborating throughout the engagement by providing each side with a frictionless experience for all communication, from secure source document collection to document organization and storage, to e-signatures. Now, firms can quickly and securely send and receive engagement letters, request information, review & deliver returns, obtain e-signed 8879 forms, send invoices, and collect payments. And, the firm’s clients can manage their respective tasks and track the entire process easily from one centralized interface – review, sign, and return engagement letters; respond to a simplified organizer questionnaire and document request list; or directly import their W2s, 1099s, 1098s, and other year-end financial documents. 

“Firms tell us they often struggle to keep up with increasing expectations from clients when it comes to efficiency and transparency which impacts their own ability to drive productivity and offer more advisory type services,” said Jim McGinnis, EVP and General Manager, US Professional Market, Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting North America. “We’ve built this new collaboration solution based on experience with CCH Axcess™ Portal and the time we’ve spent side-by-side with customers to better understand their changing needs. By reducing the time-consuming back-and-forth between staff and clients and by helping increase overall engagement efficiency, we are helping firms enhance customer relationships and give their clients full visibility across the entire workflow, so they can take action when required.”
