Streamline your workflow

Customize your CCH Axcess Document homepage to support the way you work every day. Start by effortlessly configuring a display of one to six panels. Select how you want the panels organized and even choose to make the search screen your homepage. 

24/7 access to your files

Digital documents can be accessed from anywhere — other offices, client locations, home offices — so you won't be limited by geography. Workloads can be more easily balanced between offices, and integration with CCH Axcess Portal will allow your clients to access their documents anytime, from anywhere. 

Faster, improved client service

Client requests can be handled immediately, with the client still on the phone. Files can be published to and collected from clients easily through integration with CCH Axcess Portal, serving clients as quickly and conveniently as they expect to be served.

Organize your accounting firm tax document management strategies

Secure file storage and collaboration

Prevent unauthorized access to files with role-based security, special access groups, and folder- and file-level settings. When uploaded to CCH Axcess Document, files are encrypted immediately and remain so while in storage and when passed over the Internet.

File retention and version control

Ensure accuracy and compliance with firm-wide file retention and destruction policies including email. Access and restore older versions of a file, and see who has made each change. Check-out/Check-in ensures that you are working on the most recent version of a file.

Multiple storage options

Store your documents in the cloud or on local firm-hosted storage. Firm-hosted storage is maintained by the firm, either physically housed on a central server at the firm, or on individual servers in each office. Or host your files through a third-party hosting provider.
