The left column is ours to fill and ours to be held to in a trial. The right column belongs to CCH Axcess, and it stays ruled and empty against every row below, because the only thing we could put in it is a guess.
Run practice management inside the same vendor suite as tax and audit, so the firm buys one stack instead of assembling one.
That is the job as we read it. A firm shortlisting CCH Axcess is shopping for it, and so is a firm shortlisting Accute.
CCH Axcess
How they read the same job is theirs to publish.
Accute answers that with the suite it belongs to rather than with a longer feature list. Staff can sign in through the FinACEverse gateway: CAP authenticates the user, checks the firm is entitled to Accute, and Accute provisions the account from that token. Key events, an engagement opened, an invoice raised or paid, a document signed, an approval decided, are emitted into the FinACEverse firm audit chain alongside Accute's own log, and a subscription change made in FinACEverse arrives on the firm's linked Accute account as a signed lifecycle event rather than as a new sign-up. The client portal is Accute's own, with portal access issued per client contact from the firm's own invitation.
CCH Axcess
We have not run their software, so we have nothing honest to put here.
Every mechanism named in that answer, listed on its own so you can put each one to us separately. Each survived an audit against the code that ships it, and anything that did not survive was struck rather than softened.
CCH Axcess
Nothing tested, so nothing cited, so nothing claimed.
In the words we would use to a partner on a call, including the one a comparison page usually leaves out.
Accute is the alternative we can speak for. Accute answers that with the suite it belongs to rather than with a longer feature list. Staff can sign in through the FinACEverse gateway: CAP authenticates the user, checks the firm is entitled to Accute, and Accute provisions the account from that token. Key events, an engagement opened, an invoice raised or paid, a document signed, an approval decided, are emitted into the FinACEverse firm audit chain alongside Accute's own log, and a subscription change made in FinACEverse arrives on the firm's linked Accute account as a signed lifecycle event rather than as a new sign-up. The client portal is Accute's own, with portal access issued per client contact from the firm's own invitation.
It depends on whether the firm expects to add services. Accute is one product inside the FinACEverse suite. Staff can reach it through the suite gateway rather than through a second password: CAP issues a signed token carrying the user and the firm, and Accute verifies that token and starts the session. Where a firm account is linked to CAP, the tax-filing and audit-automation subscriptions Accute honours are read from that same suite record rather than registered again here.
No. We have not run CCH Axcess through a firm season, so we publish no pricing for it and make no claims about its features. This page states the job firms hire accounting practice management to do and what Accute does against that job, which is the only half we can be held to. For the other half, read what CCH Axcess publishes itself.
These questions decide this category. Put every one of them to CCH Axcess, to Accute, and to anything else on your shortlist, and buy whichever answers them on a screen rather than in a deck.
The rules every page in this family is written under, printed here because you may never see the index.
Plans change, currencies differ and term discounts move the number. A price we captured once and never re-checked would be presented as current while being wrong, so we publish none. Every vendor below publishes its own pricing, and that page is the only one worth reading.
We have not run their software through a firm season, so we are not in a position to say what it does or does not do. Anyone who tells you otherwise about a product they have not used is guessing in public.
What each entry states is the job a firm hires the category to do, and what Accute does against that job. That half is ours, it is testable in a trial, and you should hold us to it.
So: no CCH Axcess pricing on this page, and nothing about what CCH Axcess does or does not do. CCH Axcess publishes both, and that is the page worth reading for their half.
Same contract, same two columns, a different product on the empty side of them.
Run one real engagement through Accute, on your own client list, and hold every line in the left column against what you see. We will set that up with you rather than hand you a trial and hope.
Accounts and plans live in the FinACEverse gateway, so nothing on this page asks you for a card.
