Wolters Kluwer launches CCH iFirm tax cloud platform in the UK

Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting (TAA) has launched CCH iFirm, its cloud-based practice management and compliance software platform, in the UK.

The integrated and scalable platform is designed to help make tax and accountancy practices more efficient and productive.

The new platform offers efficient and automated workflows and full integration and visibility across a range of accounting tools. It enables access to real-time data, while adhering to the top industry security standards. CCH iFirm thereby allows users to access new opportunities driven by data analysis, visualisation, and reporting.

A leading cloud platform in the North America and Asia Pacific markets, the UK launch of CCH iFirm is the first in Europe. Existing users of Wolters Kluwer CCH Central, the on-premise accounting system in the UK, can choose to make a one-off switch or a phased transition to the new platform.

Bas Kniphorst, executive VP and MD, Wolters Kluwer TAA Europe, said: “For over a decade, CCH iFirm has been driving impact globally for tax and accounting firms with its innovative technology and extensive capabilities, and we are excited to introduce this new platform to the UK. Accounting firms are adopting technology solutions to help achieve greater business scalability, agility and resilience against the backdrop of an ever-evolving accountancy landscape. Wolters Kluwer CCH iFirm provides those capabilities through a unified platform with single sign-in.”

Neil Parsons, MD, Wolters Kluwer TAA UK, added: “CCH iFirm is a next-generation cloud platform which directly brings the reliability, expertise and innovative technology that Wolters Kluwer is famed for to our clients in the UK. Significant changes to U.K. tax regulation are coming, particularly for sole traders and partnerships, so now is the perfect time for accounting firms to review and update their systems and move to the cloud.”
