It seems now more than ever it is crucial for medium to large firms to have a process of getting a return done. It is the end of time that only one person touches a return and send it out. CCH Axcess lets you create workflow to set up stages of the return and send to the responsible staff.

Lacerte helps to serve a great variety of clients and businesses, it has over 5,700 forms. It also supports multi-state, K-1s, and more. It suits for power users with high business inflow. Its useful for a CPA who is processing a high value firm or individual with zero errors. The error diagnostic feature covers more than 25k error checks. This is less applicable to CPA's whose are managing regular individual 1040 routines.

- The updates from IRS to Lacerte need to be improved, so far so good.
- Reporting needs to be improved. Feature like sorting categories. scorp/ind/non-profit
- Tax summaries can be improved - like the differentiation between rental income & expenses. I trust this feature would be a great help.

CCH Axcess was very comparable to Thomson Reuters. They are both large companies in their fields and have similar resources. We ultimately went with Thomson Reuters because we bundled with their other softwares for a better price and it makes sense to be with one company to deal with one customer support line.

We have been using Proseries along with Lacerte. As I said, Lacerte is much easier and faster when compared with Proseries.
