The Overlooked Challenge in Modern CPA Workflows
In today’s fast-paced, regulation-driven world, CPA firms rely on digital systems like CCH Axcess Document to maintain compliance and streamline document management. This Wolters Kluwer solution is widely adopted due to its centralized document storage and accessibility features.
Yet, many firms encounter roadblocks when attempting to back up, migrate, or integrate their data with new platforms.
Whether you’re switching systems, creating routine backups, or preparing for firm growth, one truth remains: CCH Axcess Document wasn’t built for easy, large-scale migration. This gap can lead to operational bottlenecks, compliance risks, and time-consuming manual work.
That’s where Silver Sea Analytics steps in, with a proven, end-to-end solution built on CCH Axcess API integration and automation tools – making document migration effortless and accurate. We offer advanced CCH Axcess migration services that streamline backup, compliance, and document workflows for modern CPA firms.

Silver Sea Analytics: A Comprehensive Solution for CCH Axcess Document
At Silver Sea Analytics, we specialize in data migration, system integration, and robotic process automation (RPA) tailored to the needs of accounting professionals. Our unique approach addresses the core limitations of CCH Axcess Document, delivering speed, precision, and scalability. Here’s how we solve the migration challenge:
1. Full System Inventory & Smart Data Mapping
Before any migration begins, we perform a full inventory of your existing and target systems. This includes an in-depth analysis of:
- Folder structure
- Metadata
- Retention policies
- Compliance requirements
We determine which files are mission-critical and should be migrated based on your firm’s retention choices, which are typically 3 or 7 years. By mapping information and file locations, we remove clutter and ensure that the migrated system accurately follows your company’s process.

2. Bulk Folder Downloads with Precision Filtering
Our solution allows you to target specific clients, folders, and/or specific document types.
This dramatically shortens the backup time while ensuring that we meet your objectives and policy.
3. Seamless Integration with Multiple Platforms
Whether your firm is moving to ShareFile, Box.com, OneDrive, SharePoint, Karbon HQ, or even a local OnPrem system, our migration solution ensures compatibility and consistency.
We can retain the existing folder structure or help you implement the new conventions in the target system.
4. Automated Logging & Error Handling
Our solution keeps track of all actions taken during the migration process. We validate the list before and after the migration process, ensuring data integrity for your firm. If an error occurs, we’ll be notified automatically and can quickly come up with a resolution.
