CCH Canadian Ltd is Announcing a Partnership with Bstar That Will Provide Accounting Firms with the Advisory Tools They Need for Business Valuation Consultation

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) May 02, 2011

CCH, Canada's premier provider of tax and accounting research and compliance tools, announced today that it has formed a strategic partnership with Bstar, an Australian, industry planning company specializing in assisting organizations reach their future potential through effective growth and succession planning. This partnership will allow CCH to deliver Bstar’s business advisory solutions including valuation, growth and succession planning solutions to its customers across the country.

The Bstar program is the perfect complement to CCH Profit Driver, a business analysis tool that CCH currently offers to the Canadian accounting industry. Bstar provides professional advisors with value-added materials, tools and programs to help them successfully grow their business in the small and medium enterprise market. Accountants use Bstar’s Web-based technology to conduct business valuation assessments, growth and succession plans, for both clients and prospects. With that, they can then use CCH Profit Driver to perform interactive consultations with their clients during which they analyze the business health and develop future goals using the flexible Projection, What-If scenarios, Goal Seeking and Benchmarking features.

Together, Bstar and CCH Profit Driver allow practitioners to have a complete picture of the longer term goals and financial status of their business clients. Practitioners are able to analyze financial trends, key ratios, debt covenants and industry metrics that are critical to maintaining their role as trusted advisors.

“The main thing we like about BStar is that it provides a process to the advisory service that helps us deepen our relationships with our clients,” says Harold Johnson, Managing Partner at MBS Financial Group, Mississauga. “They are very excited to be able to work with us in different areas that we were never able to provide.”

In a U.S. nationwide survey conducted by CCH, it was discovered that “Thirty-six percent of business clients are likely to change CPA firms in 2011.” In the survey, the primary reason cited was that “the accounting firm did not check with me on my changing needs.” This reinforces how important it is for practitioners to have financial analysis tools to protect and enhance their client relationships.

“CCH is constantly looking for solutions that solve practitioners’ most pressing needs,” says Sebastian Langlois, CCH Profit Driver Product Manager. “We expect to experience the same degree of enthusiasm for the Bstar solution that we have had for CCH Profit Driver because both products enhance and ensure our customers’ success in their business development initiatives.”
