Recent research commissioned by CCH has revealed that the majority of SME owners would consider changing their accountant if they failed to keep pace with cloud technology. “It suggests a ‘business as usual’ approach is not really an option for accounting firms. Their small- to medium-sized enterprise customers are saying they want to move down the cloud path and will do so without them if need be.” boss. However, this “gut feel” decisionmaking process, combined with the desire to move to cloud accounting, further strengthens the case for accounting professionals to take technology and cloud accounting very seriously indeed. The research involved over 1,000 small businesses and 200 accountants from across Australia. “What’s more the impulse toward the cloud among younger business owners is even stronger, suggesting accounting firms risk losing a whole new generation of SME clients if they fail to act.” These reasons alone should be enough to convince any accountant seeking a successful future that cloud accounting solutions are the way forward, but the results gathered from younger business owners are very clear when it comes to the cloud: you move, or we will. A key reason behind accounting firms’ failure to adopt cloud technology was the existence of a working system. Whilst there is a strong case to keep something that is working, this doesn’t take into consideration the significant benefits that can be offered to both parties through the cloud; namely the time and money saving benefits that it offers combined with the ability for accounts to free up time and resources to provide strategic advisory services - an activity highly valued by clients. This is hardly surprising given the penetration of technology amongst Gen Y and their well-known desire to shop around, but what is astounding is that accountants are yet to recognise this as a major problem. The business case is simple: adopting cloud solutions would secure accountants a central role in managing their client’s accounts. Failure to adopt may mean losing a significant portion of their business in the near future. In conjunction with the Cloud technology adoption research, CCH also commissioned important research around the influences on small business decision-making. As part of CCH’s research, accountants using cloud software were asked to identify the perceived benefits for their firm. The results were clear: mirroring the success of mobile technology, 62% of those surveyed indicated that the ability to access information from multiple locations was one of the main advantages, closely followed by the financial benefits with 1 in 3 respondents citing reduced maintenance and purchase costs for hardware as their primary reason for moving into the cloud. However, according to the study, the perceived barriers to adopting new technology among small business suppliers’ such as the time to learn new systems and the fear of changing existing processes are slowing progress and putting businesses at risk. One of the key industries where this slow uptake of new technology was most prevalent and therefore potentially hazardous, was accounting services. The new research was commissioned in conjunction with the Australian launch of CCH’s iFirm platform - an established cloud accounting software solution that provides a comprehensive suite of accounting tools. The research indicated that almost twothirds of small businesses recognise that cloud technology could enable them to self-serve, thereby largely removing the need to outsource accounting work. This figure rises to 86% among youngeraged SME owners. However, in stark contrast, fewer than half of accounting firms surveyed showed concern at losing business to cloud-based software solutions. Accounting firms live in a world of absolutes and trade off their exceptional knowledge and comprehension of numbers, so their failure to comprehend the numbers around cloud software seems almost baffling. Russell Evans, the CEO of CCH’s parent company, Wolters Kluwer Asia Pacific, highlighted an important issue. Whilst establishing the accountant as the most trusted advisor in a small business setting – making them very powerful indeed over the course of Australian business now and in the future – the study also revealed that many small business owners tend to act on “gut feel” when making decisions around their business and therefore around the technology that they adopt. There is no doubt that a small business owner fiercely guards the independence of their decision-making with many starting their own business solely to be their own Ultimately, accountants need to treat the move to the cloud like they would any accounting problem: weigh up the balance sheet and realise that the only way to move forward in a sustainable manner is to get their head in the cloud too! It’s a new chapter for CCH Today, we are enabling accountants to embrace the cloud with our innovative software – CCH iFirm.

The company manufactures, markets and distributes a wide range of luxury frames and sunglasses, including Ray-Ban, Oakley, Arnette and more, to destinations all over the globe. Name: Luxottica Region: Australia, New Zealand, Singapore Operation: Eyewear and eyecare Products: Luxury frames and sunglasses Employees: 65,000 employees in 130 countries Business issues Website: www.luxottica.com.au Despite having a very large portfolio of products, Luxottica’s Australasian tax team is relatively small, with only two Sydneybased employees managing compliance and reporting. Issues n Microsoft™ Excel-based legacy systems n Tax reports written and submitted by hand n Small tax team of two people managing all tax reporting for Australia, as well as elements for other markets n Quickly understand immediate changes to legislation in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore n Increased need to meet compliance demands Solutions Like many organisations, Luxottica was using static Excel spreadsheets to calculate its corporate tax obligations and filled out its returns paperwork by hand. Although these methods work, they are far from ideal and involve multiple handlers and manual reporting processes that are prone to human error. To streamline these processes and achieve peace of mind, the Luxottica tax team decided to find a more appropriate compliance and reporting solution for its needs. n CCH Tax Integrator, web-based corporate tax compliance software which integrates with existing financial management systems, removing the need to duplicate data n CCH IntelliConnect®, award-winning online tax research platform that simplifies the search process to save time and money on expert advisory services n Introductory training and ongoing support for CCH Tax Integrator and CCH IntelliConnect® Results and value n Faster decision making n Improved reporting processes create more time for strategic planning n Up-to-date understanding of domestic and international legislative changes n Knowledge resources simplify strategic tax planning processes and provide insight into more efficient and accurate compliance processes n Ongoing CCH support minimises reporting problems n Software enables large amounts of data to be managed by a small team The Luxottica tax team also needed to consider the implications of working across multiple markets – each with a different, rapidly evolving tax environment. The tax team based in Australia is responsible for local tax returns and BAS compliance, as well as withholdings for Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. For this reason, Luxottica also needed to stay abreast of changes in compliance processes and legislation in both the domestic and international markets. Solutions The company needed a new set of compliance tools that would allow its small team to manage its financial obligations across markets as accurately and efficiently as possible and support them every step of the way. After evaluating several compliance solutions, including CCH and Thomson Reuters, that could potentially improve Luxottica’s existing workflow the team selected CCH Tax Integrator for superior flexibility, automation and cost savings as well as CCH IntelliConnect® for its extensive and always up-to-date knowledge resources. KNOWLEDGE n TOOLS n SUPPORT n COMMUNITY CCH Tax Integrator was able to automatically populate much of Luxottica’s tax return data and also introduce comprehensive audit checklists to make reporting and reviewing of data much simpler. The solution eliminated many of Luxottica’s concerns around static spreadsheets and manual processing which enabled the tax team to greatly improve its regular reporting cycle times. CCH Tax Integrator was a clear and obvious choice for Luxottica based on its superior ability to remove any potential for human error and the hassle of manual reporting by automating many aspects of our reporting processes. Since we’ve started using it, we spend less time reviewing our work and more time on higher-priority tasks. Medellin Arranz, Tax Manager, Luxottica After successfully implementing CCH Tax Integrator into its workflow, the Luxottica tax team looked first to CCH for a solution to help stay on top of the rapidly evolving local and international tax landscapes. Shortly afterwards, Luxottica deployed CCH IntelliConnect® across its tax management practice. CCH IntelliConnect® functions as a Google-like search engine. It is an online platform that simplifies the research process to save time and money on expert advisory services by streamlining the way tax professionals research and strategically plan for compliance. “It’s impossible to be in three geographic locations at once so CCH IntelliConnect® gives me the information I need, when I need it, to better understand changes in Australian, New Zealand and Singaporean legislation without having to be on the ground” Ms Arranz said. Although CCH Tax Integrator and CCH IntelliConnect® don’t require in-depth technical knowledge in order to be used, Luxottica’s tax team wanted to ensure they were getting the most out of the new tax compliance solution and knowledge resources. To do this, the tax team undertook training with CCH product specialists on both products. After an introductory session, Luxottica’s tax team members were confident in using both CCH Tax Integrator and CCH IntelliConnect® to process their reporting obligations more efficiently and easily research legislative changes. Since then, the tax team has found the tools to be so intuitive and easy to use that it has been able to move from Excel and paper to a fully online and automated reporting and research system, which saves the company both time and money. Like all CCH customers, Luxottica also has access to the CCH helpdesk team who provide ongoing support over phone and email. Commenting on the quality of CCH’s support, Ms Arranz said: “CCH’s training and support team is world class. They’re very helpful, friendly, and always have the right answers.” When we started using CCH Tax Integrator, the CCH team provided introductory training and this really helped us hit the ground running. Results and value CCH’s unique combination of compliance tools, knowledge resources, support and training, and peer network communities, has provided support to Luxottica’s tax management team for over five years. In that time they have been able to save countless hours on manual reporting and research. This has allowed them to retain their small team, minimise the need to involve outside contractors and enable them to effectively, accurately and efficiently manage the company’s tax obligations. “As a long-term CCH customer I have all the tools, information, support and people I need, all in one place. Thanks to CCH, I’m able to do my job better and Luxottica’s tax reporting is no longer riddled with headaches and hiccups” Ms Arranz said. Myself and my colleagues are able to plan, report, review and research in ways we would have never thought possible and I’d recommend anyone who is still stuck in spreadsheets to strongly consider a new approach.
