What this is really costing you
In public accounting and tax advisory, senior accountants and tax managers waste hours each week digging through CCH Axcess, IRS bulletins, and state tax websites to handle unusual returns. The process involves manual cross-referencing, tracking regulatory changes, and documenting every citation for audit trails. This repetitive research eats into billable time and delays client deliverables.
