Today, they are helping firms and their clients adapt to a new work environment more quickly and smoothly.”

CCH Axcess™ Client Collaboration. CCH Axcess™ Client Collaboration saves firms and their clients time when engaging, onboarding, and collaborating throughout an engagement. It provides each side with a frictionless experience for all communication, from secure source document collection to document organization and storage, to e-signatures. 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. Clients can manage their tasks and track the entire process easily from one centralized interface to review, sign, and return engagement letters, to respond to a simplified organizer questionnaire and document request list, or to directly import tax forms and other year-end financial documents.

Providing auditors with the flexibility of anywhere, anytime access, the CCH Axcess™ Knowledge Coach facilitates collaboration across an audit engagement, improves overall audit quality, and allows the auditor to exercise professional judgment.
