According to the Journal of Accountancy and The Tax Adviser survey 2018, Lacerte tax software has an overall rating of 4.4 out of 5.
Whether it is tax season or not, accounting professionals keep looking for ways to increase their billable hours. Billable hours are the number of hours chargeable that are dedicated to provide services to the clients. Hence, professionals should look out to increase the hours for their clients rather than spending time to resolve IT issues. One of the ways to do so is- Cloud Hosting Solution for Lacerte tax software. Lacerte hosting refers to moving the tax software to cloud servers of hosting providers instead of installing it on local storage devices.

They will no more be limited to office premises for providing services, resulting in quicker tax return filing processes and more number of billable hours.
2) Ensures Seamless Collaborations Accounting processes can become a tedious task due to the cumbersome to-and-fro communications to get client details. It results in delay in providing services to clients. Lacerte hosting makes team collaborations easier by letting accountants and their clients to access, work, and share the same file without losing the tax data. They can also manage the level of access permissions to avoid any harm to data from intruders.
3) Offers Impeccable Integration Accounting processes involves use of many applications apart from tax software to maintain records, save files, and make payments.
