US-Based Multinational Firm Leverages CCH Axcess to Drive Integration and Substantial Growth


In the next profile in its series on forward-thinking firms focused on the future, Wolters Kluwer today spotlights Thomas St. John, LLC (TSJ), with accounting offices in Los Angeles, London and Amsterdam.

With locations in different parts of the world, this international accounting firm needed a better way to integrate information on different continents and have its staff work together as one firm. Since TSJ implemented the complete CCH (News - Alert) Axcess™ solution, which is supported by a common core database, information sharing is now more efficient. Furthermore, all cloud-based, integrated CCH Axcess modules: CCH Axcess Tax™, CCH Axcess Document™, CCH Axcess Workstream™, CCH Axcess Practice™ and CCH Axess Portal™ have helped the firm double in size.



"Working across International offices is one of the biggest challenges any US firm can face," said Laura Skinner, Operations Manager for Thomas St. John, LLC. "Being able to work from the same information and interact on crossover projects has always been a priority for us and CCH Axcess has enabled us to do this - it's an important element of our success."

"Before CCH Axcess we researched many other cloud-based solutions that provide similar functions," Skinner added. "We can quite honestly say that there isn't another solution out there that encompasses as much as the CCH Axcess suite. It is constantly improving and evolving and, as a growing company, this is key to our continued success."


"Whether firms want to integrate solutions across their office floor, across town or even across their global offices, CCH Axcess is a logical first step on the path to greater efficiency," said Heffy Provost, Vice President of Software Product Operations for Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting US. "Firms of all sizes may benefit from the advanced capabilities of one or more CCH Axcess modules - enabling tax professionals to save time previously spent on lower-level, routine tasks and focus on higher-value services."

Clients of TSJ, including many who work in the international entertainment industry, also are benefitting from the maximized efficiency and mobility CCH Axcess offers. Firm professionals often support accounts from more than one office and for Skinner, one particular after business hours request from a client on the road really stands out.

"A client of ours had a problem while out on tour and required copies of documents that they didn't have with them. It was 10 p.m. and these documents were able to be accessed by their business manager via the mobile CCH Axcess app, without so much as turning on a computer. That really was a pivotal moment and demonstrated the huge value CCH Axcess has brought to the service we can provide to our clients."
