CPE Webinar: Why Post–Tax Season is the perfect time to move your firm to the cloud

As another tax season wraps up, many smaller professional tax preparation firms are left reflecting on what slowed them down – system crashes, limited remote access, hardware issues, or the constant need to troubleshoot outdated on‑premise tax software. If these pain points feel familiar, then this is the ideal moment to explore a move to a modern and accessible cloud‑based professional tax platform.

This webinar will be held on Thursday, May 28 at 3:00pm ET
Sponsor: CCH
Duration: 1 Hour

In this webinar, Wolters Kluwer breaks down the common challenges that firms face when staying on desktop software, including:

  • Heavy IT and maintenance demands like server upkeep, manual updates, and unreliable backups
  • Restricted accessibility that makes remote or flexible work difficult
  • Security vulnerabilities that come from relying on local machines and aging hardware
  • Performance slowdowns during peak filing periods

We’ll then highlight how cloud‑based tax software removes these friction points and positions your firm for a smoother, more productive year ahead – no matter the season.
You’ll see how the cloud delivers:

  • Anywhere, any‑device access for seamless teamwork
  • Advanced built‑in security and automated backups
  • Instant updates with no installation required
  • Scalable performance that keeps you moving through busy season effortlessly
  • Lower IT overhead so you can focus on serving clients, and growing your business for the future

Post–tax season is the best time to evaluate your technology – your pain points are fresh, workloads lighten, and you have room to explore improvements before next year’s deadlines begin to loom. This webinar helps you understand your options and gives you a clear picture of how a cloud migration can set your firm up for a smoother, more efficient season ahead.
