We’ve built CCH Axcess solutions for firms at every stage. Pick the one that fits you now. One intake form. CCH Axcess Practice, Tax, and your CRM — all updated automatically. No re-keying. No version drift. Under 2 minutes per client from day one. 12% of firms scaled back their tax client base last year — not because they lacked clients, but because manual workflows capped how many they could handle. We automate the full PBC workflow — entity extraction, secure upload portal per client, automated follow-ups, and direct data push into CCH Axcess Tax via API. 69% of firms are delayed every tax season waiting on client documents — before a single return is prepared. Live Power BI dashboards connected directly to CCH Axcess DAU. WIP aging, AR, staff utilization — visible in real time. No exports. No Excel. No waiting. 7 weeks additional capacity per employee per year — that’s what firms connecting their CCH data to live dashboards are recovering right now. CLIENT ONBOARDING AUTOMATION One intake form. Automatic creation in CCH Axcess Practice, Tax, and your CRM. No re-keying. No version drift.

Then it automatically validates that all summary sheets match between that Excel file and Axcess Tax. ✅ Save 1-5 hours on data entry for each tax return PROJECT MANAGEMENT & TIME ENTRIES Incomplete or late time entries distort billing, skew capacity planning, and silently cost your firm revenue. CCH Workstream doesn’t support bulk project migration. Our RPA automates project creation — ideal for annual resets or platform migrations. ✓ Eliminates repetitive manual project setup at scale ✓ Supports complete and accurate migrations ✓ Optimizes Workstream templates for monitoring
