Key challenges faced by the firm
Saniza & Co were facing a number of challenges that prompted the firm to seek a more efficient solution.
Poor Document Management
- Client documents were scattered across emails, local drives, and paper files, leading to significant inefficiencies.
- This disorganisation made it difficult to locate important documents, resulting in slower client service and increased risk of errors due to missing or incomplete information.
Inefficient Workflow Management
- Lack of clear processes led to messy and disorganised handling of client tasks.
- This caused confusion, missed deadlines, and delays, as team members lacked a clear view of responsibilities.
- Work duplication or oversight slowed down overall productivity.
Lack of Real-time Visibility and Reporting
- Firm Leaders struggled to obtain real-time data on client engagement, project status, or financial performance.
- Limited visibility into client profitability and project progress hindered informed business decisions and strategic planning.

“Our efficiency has significantly increased since we invested in CCH ProSystem fx Engagement; duties have been automated, and audit time has decreased by 30%,” Nurrita explains.

“The onboarding process with Wolters Kluwer was smooth and well-supported. Their team provided clear training, making the transition from Excel to CCH ProSystem fx Engagement easy. Any issues were quickly resolved, and we were able to implement the software without major disruptions,” said Nurrita
“In my opinion, the support provided by the CCH staff is excellent. They are very helpful in resolving issues that I can't solve on my own, and the staff members are always friendly.
