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.

Intuit has coined the term "Firm of the Future" and its products live up to that moniker. If you run a practice that is cloud based, paperless and makes use of cutting edge tools such as e-signatures, client portals, etc., then this product will be a good fit for you. If you are slow to change and want to use the traditional desktop computing environment and frequently print client draft returns for review, use wet signatures, etc. then this might not be the product for you. If you are already using some of Intuit's products and plan to implement more business clients into QuickBooks Online, I would say this product is a "must have".

- Allows us to collect client's information via Intuit Link. It's easy for our clients to upload their information and ask us questions via Link.
- Efiling is made easy. I can cross check the returns to make sure everything matches and then efile.
- The Dashboard is great to see where the returns stand and when they have been accepted by the state and IRS.

CCH Axcess
- It is slightly laggy. Document and tax sections take a while to load and open.

- Not very many software titles outside the Intuit family can be used to integrate with the product.
- The UI is a bit dated looking.
- Can get rather costly if larger volumes of returns are prepared.

The support is, excellent and Intuit overall provides good support. Their customer service representatives are friendly and always assist with issues when needed. There are multiple ways to contact the support team. I have not sued them though very much for technical tax issues and primarily the customer service team when needed.

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.

I think ProConnect Tax Online is better than competitors. As I am new to my career, the only software I have used are ProConnect Tax Online, and Thomson Reuters Ultra Tax. I prefer cloud-based software, but I think Ultra Tax is easier software to learn on. It is easier to learn on because it is form based

- For 2018 taxes, it has had zero positive impact: we spent funds for software that will not produce the same forms that it has produced in the past. Therefore, it negatively effects our income tax preparation for 2018, leaving us to prepare needed forms outside of the software or purchase from a different company.
