The Integration Story

How CS Professional Suite Seamless Integration Works

To see how our products work together to support paperless workflow and save you time by eliminating data entry, read the following integrated workflow story for all the details, or watch our multimedia demo.

Practice Management

Practice CS offers the ultimate in practice management with customizable "digital dashboards" that display all your firm, staff, and client information in one centralized location. Integration between Practice CS and the CS Professional Suite Accounting products means you can automatically capture every billable minute and easily produce invoices. The Practice Management module tracks every project and task, and the Client Management module records every detail of client activity.

Client Accounting

A seamlessly integrated firm begins in your client's office with Client Bookkeeping Solution (CBS), our client accounting software. CBS is easy-to-use software that's perfect for your clients' day-to-day bookkeeping and ensures that you always maintain complete control of your client's accounting processes.

At period-end, the client's CBS data transfers seamlessly into Write-Up CS—so you can produce reports, customized financial statements, and payroll tax forms in just minutes. CBS also enables you to import client data into Write-Up CS from a variety of other sources, such as QuickBooks Pro® and Peachtree®.

Write-Up

Designed specifically for practicing accountants who serve multiple clients with wide-ranging needs, Write-Up CS provides the power to easily customize financial statements and set up new clients. Write-Up CS also handles after-the-fact payroll processing, in-depth account analysis, and provides a platform for you to offer valuable consulting services. Because Write-Up CS shares data with UltraTax CS, you can complete more returns in less time. With Write-Up CS, you can also provide your clients with hassle-free payroll processing by seamlessly integrating data with Payroll CS, plus you can help clients make sound decisions by comparing their data to that of similar businesses in Financial Analysis CS.

Payroll

Offering live payroll services is an effective way to strengthen client relationships, and our integrated systems make it simple. Payroll CS combines comprehensive stand-alone payroll capabilities, timesaving Internet options, and turnkey processing to offer the most advanced tool for administering client payroll services—without additional resources. It's even possible to achieve a totally paperless payroll because payroll data flows directly back to Write-Up CS and, at tax time, W2 and 1099 data transfer seamlessly to UltraTax CS.

Trial Balance

For engagements where you don't need a full write-up product, you can use Trial Balance CS to make adjusting entries, create account groupings, and perform account analyses. The flexible and efficient features of Trial Balance CS make handling annual engagements fast and easy. And updated trial balance data is shared directly with UltraTax CS—no additional data re-entry required.

Engagement Management

Engagement CS is the centerpiece of the CS Professional Suite with trial balance and paperless workflow management for all types of professional engagements. It provides seamless integration with every CS Professional Suite application, as well as with PPC's SMART Practice Aids, RIA research on Checkpoint®, and Microsoft® Office®. Unique, powerful integration with other CS Professional Suite applications enables you to import journal entries from Fixed Assets CS; transfer tax balances and/or adjustments back and forth with UltraTax CS or GoSystem Tax RS; transfer client financial results to Financial Analysis CS for benchmarking analysis against peer and industry standards; and import, review, and manage reports from all CS Professional Suite applications.

Tax Preparation

At tax time, account balances from Write-Up CS, Trial Balance CS, and Engagement CS transfer directly into UltraTax CS tax preparation software, allowing you to complete an 1120 return in just ten minutes—without having to key in any data! UltraTax CS also automatically computes M-1 and M-2 adjustments so all you have to do is review the return and make necessary adjustments. W-2 and 1099R year-end information from Write-Up CS and Payroll CS transfers directly to UltraTax CS, significantly reducing tax preparation time. And UltraTax CS integrates with the expert information you need in the many PPC guidance and RIA research products.

Fixed Asset Management

Intuitive navigation, flexible sorting options, powerful calculations, and robust reports are just some of the features that make Fixed Assets CS one of the most powerful and easy-to-use fixed asset management systems available. When you use Fixed Assets CS for fixed asset management throughout the year, your asset information will be instantly available in UltraTax CS when you need it for tax season—without having to import or enter data.

Digital Document Management

All your CS Professional Suite documents can be printed directly to FileCabinet CS, our innovative digital document management system, for quick and easy retrieval on your computer. The program files documents automatically in the appropriate folders, making it easy to enjoy the countless time- and money-saving benefits of the paperless office. And thanks to our deep level of software integration, you can access your FileCabinet CS client documents immediately for review or email, without leaving your CS Professional Suite software.
