four software companies control more than 90 percent of the tax prep business. but which one has the biggest fans?

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

for a more in-depth report, we recommend the tax software report: comparative intelligence for data-driven decision-making.

with only four companies already controlling 90 percent of the professional tax preparation software market, the competition is intense. to be sure, some 9 in 10 accountants can be counted on to renew year after year, giving vendors barely single-digit year-over-year percentage increases in organic revenue growth.

but with the advent of the cloud, evolving client needs, workflow innovations, and an uncertain outlook for a major tax code overhaul, this year could present a singular set of choices for tax professionals – and fresh opportunities for vendors.

four companies dominate the cpa tax software market:

thomson, with ultratax and gosystem;
cch, with prosystem, axcess tax, and atx;
intuit, with lacerte, proseries and turbotax; and
drake
