Dufour Tax Group, LLC Builds New Practice with Wolters Kluwer, Tax & Accounting's CCH Axcess™


In the next profile in its series on forward-thinking firms focused on the future, Wolters Kluwer, Tax & Accounting US today spotlights Dufour Tax Group, LLC in Portland, ME.

In January 2015, Peter Dufour, CPA, JD, MBA, opened his small boutique practice with a staff of three. Having previous experience at a large firm that operated with various, disparate software solutions, Dufour knew he wanted a more seamless solution for his new practice. When deciding how to set up shop, Dufour selected the CCH (News - Alert) Axcess™ suite for its complete tax preparation and workflow capabilities.

Since implementing CCH Axcess, Dufour has experienced a multitude of benefits from having a single, central solution where all client and firm data is stored. The CCH Axcess dashboard - a favorite feature of Dufour's - has enhanced his firm's client service by enabling them to instantly pull up client profiles, easily view and reference information on one screen, and effectively communicate with clients. This has been especially helpful to Dufour and his staff when dealing with client questions.

"With three people dealing with 500 clients, efficiency is key," said Dufour. "Without CCH Axcess, we wouldn't be able to provide the high level of service that we provide to our clients that they expect."

The mobile functionality and anytime, anywhere access has also had a significant positive impact on Dufour's client service. "While camping in Acadia National Park in Maine, a client contacted me needing his accounting information right away. At the campsite on the laptop, I was able to pull up the information and send the client data he needed. When I told him where I was, he was 'more than tickled' that I was able to get that for him."

"We often hear from firms about the benefits and competitive advantages they enjoy with CCH Axcess given its leading-edge technology, tight tax workflow integration, common data and open platform," said Dave Shalit, CPA and Vice President of Product Management for Tax Soutions, Wolters Kluwer, Tax & Accounting US. "CCH Axcess delivers on how firms want to work today, with an integrated central database that offers a single point of access to handle all tasks associated with the tax process - from return preparation and compliance to file storage and practice management - regardless of where they are located."
