Prepare for Tax Season Now

CCH’s training and consulting services will help you prepare for your most efficient season yet

“How could you spend $200 on a tip calculator?” Jerry Seinfeld’s fictional father cries on a 1998 episode of the hit comedy Seinfeld. An exasperated Jerry responds, “It does other things!”

The underutilization might not be quite as drastic at your firm, but chances are, some of your professionals are not getting all they can out of the features and functionality of your productivity tools from CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business. In some cases, staff turnover has led to a breakdown in knowledge of a particular product and new employees never quite get up to speed; other longtime staff may not have learned about new features and functions that were added on later and are not getting the most bang for your buck.

Designed for any firm that is using multiple CCH products, CCH’s Productivity Consulting is a revolutionary and comprehensive service designed to provide feedback on your firm’s performance, make necessary recommendations, and assist your firm with an implementation plan to increase productivity at every level.

“It is very common to work with firms that have successfully utilized our applications for many years and yet are not aware of many of the timesaving features that have been released since their initial implementation. When you multiply that scenario across multiple products, it is easy to see the immediate benefits our customers receive by bringing us out for this analysis,” says Rhett Molitor, CCH senior manager, training and consulting. “It is important for firms to undergo this process before busy season so they have time to rollout out our efficiency recommendations.”

For specific, role-based instructional programs, our latest addition to the suite of training and consulting solutions, CCH Learning & Development Academy, combines technical accounting, software, and professional skills training into a single integrated workflow intensive program tailored for specific organizational roles. A highly technical, all-inclusive, on-site, hands-on program, the Academy trains staff to hit the ground running with current real-world education and experience, utilizing all the software content tools and soft skills to do their jobs.

The first launch under the Academy umbrella, the School of Audit, offers an intensive audit curriculum. (And the second, School of Tax, is scheduled to debut in 2010.)

Alternatively, firms can send individual employees to our regional seminars prior to the upcoming busy season. Click here for more about CCH's various Training & Consulting solutions.
