Thomson Tax & Accounting products are designed for professional production work. Our system requirements are based on the assumption that professional accounting firms replace their computer hardware and operating systems approximately every three years.

While our products may operate on less powerful hardware and operating systems, we do not believe it will perform at a level suitable for production work in those environments. Of course, as processing speed and RAM are increased, software performance will also improve.

We recommend workstation class computers, which generally offer higher levels of performance than desktop models when running business applications.

2006 marks the third straight year that Payroll CS has earned CPA Technology Advisor's top rating: 5 stars.

"The integration of Payroll CS with CS Professional Suite accounting software has converted some of those payroll- only clients into accounting clients. It's easy to do that because all of their information is already in the system. I have also found Payroll CS to be very reasonably priced compared to many; the enhancements each year make it an equal competitor to much more expensive software. Because of this software, I can compete with the big boys."

"I cannot say enough about how much time and money the Payroll CS and FileCabinet CS have saved us this year alone. Instead of waiting for software updates to complete year-end, one-third of our payroll clients' fourth- quarter returns were completed before January 1. In every major transition there is fear, but I was able to learn, install, train, and conform this software to our needs in 90 days. You will not regret your decision to get Payroll CS!"
