Register for our webinar: CCH iQ – Unlocking Your Tax Data To Predictive Intelligence. This webinar will go into how CCH iQ links with your systems and continuously syncs to automatically identify impacted clients with real industry or legislative events to generate business opportunities for your firm.


CCH iQ combines Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting research expertise with best in class software. When new tax legislation triggers a “tax event,” the system will perform a search across client tax data, for those who will be impacted by the tax event.

Move away from reactive compliance to proactive advisory work. You can click on the event to see a list of clients that might be affected. The system also includes a client letter that explains the change. Links to CCH iKnow give you access to even more information and tools.

With this information at your fingertips, you can reach out to affected clients and explain the impacts of a tax event . You can send the letter that CCH iQ generates, or you could invite the client to engage in a more in-depth discussion about their needs post change.
