  • Felice Di Pietro

We had started looking at digitizing our entire T1 process, instead of just parts of it, before the pandemic, so we were actually way ahead when COVID-19 hit. Our original goal was to get 20% to 30% of our T1’s completely digital, but the pandemic helped us increase that number to something like 80% to 90%. Some of our clients could hardly believe how easy it was, and it seems doubtful that we (or they) would ever go back! Using digital signatures has been a real time-saver for us, giving us more time to do the value-added work that really helps our clients and enhances our service levels.

As far as the new date and time stamp requirements go, I can’t imagine having to do that manually – the integration will eliminate a very time-consuming and tedious process for us.

We have been using CCH iFirm for job tracking and document management since 2019. [...] As a result, we were able to deliver streamlined, end-to-end client service, and significantly reduce time spent on A/R management. Prior to adopting these tools, we had an entire person devoted to sending documents out for signature, following up on those. We were able to eliminate the need for these activities, to the point where we could re-deploy that person to more value-added work. Most importantly, our clients’ experience was enhanced, and we were able to demonstrate that we have an evolved approach to delivering accounting services.
