The intergration with ledger and workpapers is a good and adds value to my work. > > **Cons**: Maybe needs some timer to help with time billing on individual clients. Also occasionally takes a longer than necessary to load a tax return but it is not too bad just annoying when in a hurry. > > It has been a good choice for my practice and the integration with CCH i Know is a plus when looking for tax information. ----- ### "CCH Review" — 5.0/5 > **Kelly** | *August 13, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The streamline workflow within the tax module is fantastic, from one screen you are able to download and input the pre-fill report from the ATO, complete the return and lodge or mark for signing. > > **Cons**: a little disjointed in the 'Jobs' listings to monitor workflow of every job in or for billing. > > Really happy with CCH overall and saves me countless hours when preparing my clients work. ----- ### "Worst business decision I have made in 10 years\!" — 1.0/5 > **Colin** | *June 22, 2023* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to log on from anywhere and have my scheduling, billing and tax preparation integrated. > > **Cons**: We have had nothing but issues with this software since we began using it in October 2022. Not only is the software slow but it is also full of issues such as schedules and parts of schedules not pulling through to review tabs making them useless. I am a tech savvy, 36 year old with with experience on various tax software suites and have never had such a negative experience trying to switch over to new software. We had to abandon the software before tax season as everyone was worried it would significantly increase our time on every file.Overall the software feels half-baked and yet when I pointed out many of these issues I was told that IFirm is perfect and no one has ever had an issue and there is absolutely no way that they will refund or cancel the subscription early even though my firm was 1 month into our subscription.The system is very slow and I would lose 1.5 seconds every time I switched to a new schedule despite having 1 gigabit internet and no one else from my office on the software during November. This along with other issues meant that it doubled the time spent on preparing T1's and T2's vs our previous software. Even after preparing dozens of T2's in the software we still found it to be slow, cumbersome and unreliable.I believe the refusal to issue refunds is because there are so many other firms wanting a refund that they cannot afford to refund money and hope the client comes back once the software is improved (if ever). Do not make the same mistake\! > > Terrible customer service just always told us they had never heard of any problems with the software and we should pay them thousands of dollars for more training on the software even though they couldn't explain how training would help with the software pausing every time we switched schedules, Review tab did not pull through parts of schedules and was thus useless and the tax software did not integrate flawlessly with the practice management as promised but instead frequently required back-and-forth. ----- ### "One Year After Implementation" — 4.0/5 > **Peter** | *January 19, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Access to support was so much better than what was being experienced at Access. > > **Cons**: Absence of expected functionalities - EG: linking accounting package to tax return > > Friendly personal service. Software could still do with some simple tweaks to improve functionality. ----- ### "Good ty" — 5.0/5 > **Janet** | *September 20, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Professional and patient and knowledgeable > > **Cons**: Can not send email directly from cch, after completing out for sign > > Wonderful , btw consultant \[sensitive content hidden\] is best, thank you. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2048939/cch-ifirm?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2048939/cch-ifirm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
