"Over the last three years, we've seen our practice's business double -- each year. I attribute that growth directly to the CS Professional Suite since my accounting work is no longer labor-intensive like it once was.
The time freed up by this system, with the streamlined accounting through tax preparation, has allowed me to increase my financial planning business and concentrate on areas that can generate substantial revenues. Write-Up CS is absolutely fantastic -- there is never a problem with it. It's reliable, fast, easy to work with and extremely efficient."

- Tech Specs
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.

"Flexible features, ease of use, and seamless integration with the CS Professional Suite make Write-Up CS an excellent and powerful system that easily meets the needs of clients. Navigation through [the] menus is straightforward and logical, with many automatic smart features."
-- Accounting Technology, August 2006
"What I have found in the CS Professional Suite Accounting products is a set of program tools that uniquely integrates our accounting and tax work along with our firm management tools. This integration of program tools has enabled us to standardize procedures and methods of operation. We are now much more able to produce consistent, quality and profitable work. I started my CPA firm just over three years ago. After acquiring a small practice in 2005, I realized that we needed to find better technology tools if we were going to achieve our firm objectives. Only the CS Professional Suite offered the degree of integration I was hoping for. It is clear that a lot of clever thought and planning went into the design of this product family. And when we've needed support, we received it in a timely manner."
-- Ronald Schlaupitz, MI
"The software is intuitive and easy to use, and the integration between Write-Up CS and other CS Professional Suite products makes us both effective for our clients and efficient for our firm. The Write-Up CS software is very flexible, which allows us to serve clients on a variety of accounting packages, yet allows us to produce reports that are not available in QuickBooks. I believe that by leveraging the technology of our CS Professional Suite products, we have been able to delay the hiring of additional staff."
-- Shawn Hardister, GA
"Write-Up CS gives us fast data entry or the flexibility to import data. Both lead to quick reconciliations and professional financial statements. The integration with T- Value Amortization through the use of XML technology has been the largest timesaver ever. Other practitioners ask how we produce such a large volume of write-up work with less staff. I tell them it's the cutting-edge technology of CS Professional Suite."
-- James M. Sosinski, NJ
"The integrated importing capabilities of Write-Up CS save us a lot of time. Using it as a conduit program, we can import QuickBooks or Peachtree data directly into Write-Up CS and the integration allows us to directly import the year's activity into UltraTax CS for the tax return. It's fast and easy."
-- Bret Willoughby, WI
"The integration of Write-Up CS with Payroll CS, UltraTax CS, and FileCabinet CS has been a great combination for us. Lately, for our best new clients, we have used a combination of all these programs with CBS. The data sharing between programs and tools like electronic bank reconciliations make fast month-end closes a reality with financials completed within days after the end of a period."
-- David Stenseth, MN"Our firm processes a large number of write-up clients and we have found that Write-Up CS has really enhanced this area of our practice. By having software that uses timesaving technology yet remains easy to learn and use, we are better able to serve our clients and also benefit from the increase in staff productivity."
