One hosted workspace for CCH Axcess Tax and everything around it.
CCH Axcess Tax already runs in the browser — hosting brings it into the same secure remote desktop as the rest of your firm’s software, printers, and files, so your team isn’t juggling separate environments.
CCH Axcess Tax, without the environment sprawl.
CCH Axcess Tax is already delivered as a cloud application, but most firms still run it next to locally installed software — Office, PDF tools, a document management system, maybe another product for legacy returns. Hosting puts all of it, Axcess Tax included, inside one secure remote desktop your team reaches from any device, so there’s one login, one printer setup, and one place IT has to manage instead of several.
