For firms with multiple offices, thoughtful planning can help make that change more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A phased transition gives teams time to prepare, move data, learn new workflows, and confirm that key processes are working as expected. It also gives leaders a chance to address issues before filing deadlines put more pressure on the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your firm is considering an online tax solution such as Intuit\u00ae <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/tax-software\/tax-online\/\">ProConnect\u2122 Tax<\/a>, focus first on the transition itself: when to make the change, what to verify, and how to help your team feel ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-firms-consider-changing-tax-software\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Why firms consider changing tax software<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax software needs can change as a practice grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A system that worked well for one office may become harder to manage as more people, locations, and workflows are added. Teams may spend more time moving files, coordinating access, managing software updates, or creating manual processes to keep work moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For firms with distributed teams, anywhere access and shared workflows may also become more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If those challenges sound familiar, it may be worth reviewing whether your current software still supports the way your firm works today. Intuit\u2019s guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/articles\/want-to-switch-tax-software\/\">switching tax software<\/a> can help you think through the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing software isn\u2019t automatically the right answer. The goal is to understand where your current process creates friction and whether another solution could better support your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-choose-a-transition-window-that-works-for-your-firm\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Choose a transition window that works for your firm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timing can make a meaningful difference in a software transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many firms, a period with fewer filing deadlines gives teams more room to learn, test, and adjust. That may mean beginning planning after major extension deadlines and allowing enough time before the next busy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before setting a go-live date, account for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Data conversion and validation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Software configuration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staff training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workflow testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Client-facing processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>E-file readiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time to resolve unexpected issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firms considering a move from desktop software to an online solution can also review Intuit\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/articles\/practical-guide-to-switching-from-desktop-to-the-cloud\/\">practical guide to switching from desktop to the cloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right schedule will depend on your firm. What matters most is giving your team enough time to prepare without adding unnecessary pressure during critical filing periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the timeline feels too compressed, consider whether a later transition would give your firm a more controlled path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-plan-your-data-conversion-carefully\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Plan your data conversion carefully<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data conversion is one of the most important parts of changing tax software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin, confirm what information can be converted from your current product and what your team will need to review or recreate. Conversion capabilities can vary depending on the software you\u2019re moving from and the type of information involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Build a validation checklist around the information that matters most to your practice. Depending on your workflow, that may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Client names, addresses, and identification information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prior-year return information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carryforward amounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depreciation information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preparer and reviewer assignments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting documents and attachments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other information your team relies on from prior years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The checklist and planning ahead can also help to review your existing data before conversion. Removing duplicate or outdated records may make the transition easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a larger firm, consider testing the process with a smaller group before expanding it across the organization. A pilot can help your team identify questions, document what it learns, and adjust the rollout before more people are affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-train-people-for-the-work-they-actually-do\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Train people for the work they actually do<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learning new software is easier when training connects directly to someone\u2019s day-to-day work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparers, reviewers, administrators, managers, and firm leaders may use the same software in different ways. Instead of giving everyone the same training, organize learning around the tasks each role needs to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preparers can focus on return preparation and common workflows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewers can practice review and approval processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Administrative teams can learn the client and document workflows they manage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managers can focus on the information and controls they use to oversee work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give people an opportunity to practice before they need to complete time-sensitive client work. Sample returns or realistic scenarios can help teams build familiarity in a lower-pressure setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also want to identify knowledgeable team members who can help answer questions within each office or group. Local support can make it easier for people to get help when they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/community\/lacerte-product-discussions-2\/choosing-tax-software-50316\">choosing tax software<\/a>, consider training and support alongside the software itself. A transition is about more than learning where things are\u2014it\u2019s about helping people work confidently in a new process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-compare-solutions-based-on-how-your-firm-works\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Compare solutions based on how your firm works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When evaluating ProConnect Tax alongside desktop-based software, start with your firm\u2019s workflow rather than a list of features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider questions such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Consideration<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>ProConnect Tax<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Questions to ask about your current solution<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Access<\/td><td>Online, browser-based access<\/td><td>Where and how can team members work?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Software management<\/td><td>Updates are managed online<\/td><td>Who manages installations and updates?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Collaboration<\/td><td>Supports shared online workflows<\/td><td>How does work move between preparers and reviewers?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Data management<\/td><td>Information is managed online<\/td><td>What backup and maintenance processes does IT manage?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Growth<\/td><td>Designed to support multiple preparers<\/td><td>What is required to add people or locations?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right choice depends on the way your firm prepares, reviews, and manages returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s also why broad comparisons between \u201conline\u201d and \u201cdesktop\u201d products can be misleading. Products vary, and different firms place different value on access, workflow, IT management, integrations, training, and familiarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re comparing Intuit solutions, reviewing the differences between <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/community\/proseries-product-discussions-9\/proseries-vs-proconnect-65252\">Intuit ProSeries\u00ae Tax and ProConnect<\/a> can help you understand which approach better fits your practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-test-the-workflows-your-team-depends-on\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Test the workflows your team depends on<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before relying on a new system for live client work, test the workflows that matter most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the processes your firm uses every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-confirm-access-and-responsibilities\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Confirm access and responsibilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure people can access the work they need and that permissions align with your firm\u2019s processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Test the experience from different roles rather than assuming one successful sign-in means the workflow is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-validate-preparation-and-review\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Validate preparation and review<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Run sample returns through your normal preparation and review process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay attention to handoffs. Confirm that preparers, reviewers, and managers know what happens next and where to find the information they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-check-e-file-processes\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Check e-file processes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the people responsible for filing understand the software\u2019s e-file workflow, including acknowledgments and rejected returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complete any required setup before filing volume increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-test-client-facing-workflows\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Test client-facing workflows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your process includes document requests, electronic signatures, portals, or other client interactions, test those experiences before using them broadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Administrative teams can be especially helpful here because they often see parts of the workflow that preparers don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-decide-whether-temporary-access-to-your-previous-system-will-help\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Decide whether temporary access to your previous system will help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some firms may choose to keep their previous software accessible for a period during the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That can give staff a way to reference prior information while they become familiar with the new system. Whether this approach makes sense will depend on your existing agreements, data-access needs, security requirements, and transition plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use both systems temporarily, define their roles clearly. Your team should know which system is the source of truth for current work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set criteria for ending the overlap as well. For example, you may decide to complete the transition after critical workflows have been tested and the team no longer needs the previous system for day-to-day work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-build-the-transition-around-your-team\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Build the transition around your team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A successful software change isn\u2019t just a technology project. It\u2019s a change in how people work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give teams a clear reason for the change. Explain what will be different, what will stay the same, and where they can get help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then listen to what they\u2019re experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The people preparing returns, reviewing work, managing documents, and supporting clients can often identify friction that doesn\u2019t appear in a project plan. Their feedback can help you improve the rollout as it progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For larger organizations, regular check-ins across locations can also help surface issues early and keep teams aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-explore-switching-to-proconnect-tax\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Explore switching to ProConnect Tax<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If anywhere access and online workflows align with the way your firm wants to work, ProConnect Tax may be worth considering as part of your evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by understanding the conversion process, identifying the workflows you\u2019ll need to test, and giving your team time to become familiar with the new experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intuit\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/professional-tax-software-switch\/\">professional tax software switch<\/a> resources can help you explore the transition process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also review the broader <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/tax-software\/\">Intuit professional tax software<\/a> portfolio to compare options for different practice needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal isn\u2019t simply to change software. It\u2019s to make a thoughtful transition that supports your people, your workflows, and the clients who depend on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-when-should-an-accounting-firm-switch-tax-software\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>When should an accounting firm switch tax software?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for a period that gives your team enough time to convert data, train, test workflows, and resolve issues before filing volume increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many firms, planning around major tax deadlines can help reduce pressure. Your ideal timeline will depend on your filing calendar, team size, and transition requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-how-long-does-it-take-to-train-staff-on-new-tax-preparation-software\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>How long does it take to train staff on new tax preparation software?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn\u2019t one training timeline that works for every firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The time needed will depend on each person\u2019s role, experience, and the workflows they use. Role-based training, followed by hands-on practice, can help people focus on what they need to do their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-can-a-firm-use-two-tax-software-systems-during-a-transition\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Can a firm use two tax software systems during a transition?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some firms may choose to maintain temporary access to their previous system while transitioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before doing so, define which system will be used for current work and which is available only for reference. Also consider licensing, data security, and access requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-should-you-review-when-converting-tax-data\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>What should you review when converting tax data?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the information your team relies on from prior years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That may include client information, prior-year tax data, carryforwards, depreciation information, assignments, and supporting documents. What can be converted will depend on the products involved, so confirm the available conversion details before you begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-makes-tax-software-easier-for-a-large-firm-to-use\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>What makes tax software easier for a large firm to use?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ease of use depends on your team and workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider how easily people can access the software, collaborate, complete reviews, manage client information, learn the system, and get support. A product that aligns with existing processes\u2014or simplifies them\u2014may require less adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-how-can-firms-protect-review-controls-when-changing-tax-software\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>How can firms protect review controls when changing tax software?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Test your preparation, review, and approval processes before relying on the new software for time-sensitive work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirm access and permissions for each role. Then use sample returns to make sure work moves through your review process as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-does-proconnect-tax-support-e-filing\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Does ProConnect Tax support e-filing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ProConnect Tax supports electronic filing.
