Nicole Misura-Leitchknew this when she founded MisuraProfessional Corporation (MPC), aCalgary-based accounting firm thatprocesses more than 1,000 personal,corporate and estate returns each year.It was also what she had in mind in2007, when she asked her tax softwareprovider to come in and talk to her teamabout how its products might fit withMPC's long-term strategy. The providerrefused, so Misura-Leitch decided toplace a call to Wolters Kluwer."Wolters Kluwer was phenomenal,"she recalls. "Not only did they send apresenter, he came in with his manager,and the presentation was held on site."Misura-Leitch was immediatelyimpressed by Taxprep. She liked thatit integrates with other Wolters Kluwerproducts and viewed it as a product thatwould evolve as her firm grew. She wasalso impressed with Wolters Kluwer’scommitment to customer service.MPC switched to Taxprep soon after,installing Personal Taxprep, Corporate16Taxprep, Taxprep for Trusts and TaxprepForms. In the years that followed, MPCadded other CCH Accountants’ Suiteproducts, including CCH Profit Driverand CCH Site Builder. In 2009, MPCbecame the first firm in Canada tostart using CCH Portal.Having CCH Accountants’ Suite hasallowed MPC to strengthen its marketposition, says Misura-Leitch. AdvancedTaxprep features, such as provincial andfederal tax e-filing, have helped MPCimprove its services and enhance itscompetitive edge.“I have moved my practice ahead inthe technology world, which has helpedme to attract, maintain and grow myclient base and my employee base,”says Misura-Leitch.At the same time, the seamlessintegration between Taxprep andother CCH Accountants’ Suite productshas allowed the firm to further boostefficiencies. Implementing CCH Portal,for one, allowed MPC to reduce storagespace by 70 per cent and printing supplycosts by 30 per cent.“I love the fact that you can push abutton and it uploads returns fromTaxprep to CCH Portal,” says MisuraLeitch. “In fact, that is all we aregoing to do with our personal taxclients next year. They will be able toprint off whatever they like or save itto their computer.”MPC recently purchased a publicpractice.
