WSG Systems Corp. and IRIS Software Group have partnered to integrate WSG's Empire SUITE with IRIS Practice Engine, offering a top-tier scheduling solution for accounting firms. This integration, which will expand to other IRIS applications later this year, aims to boost efficiency with features like Empire AUTOMATED TAX SCHEDULING (ATS), which automates tax compliance scheduling, and 'Best Match' which makes scheduling Audit, Advisory and CAS tasks in Empire RESOURCE almost effortless. These integrations ensure timely task management and enhances productivity for accounting professionals.
NEW YORK and LONDON, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WSG Systems Corp., a leader in scheduling solutions and developers of the only fully automated tax scheduling solution and IRIS Software Group (IRIS), a leading global software provider of accounting, edtech, HR and payroll solutions today announced a new, seamless integration between WSG's Empire® SUITE and IRIS Practice Engine to provide a best-in-class scheduling solution for accounting firms.
With today's integration, IRIS Practice Engine users will gain access to top-tier scheduling solutions, with minimal effort. This integration is also under development for both IRIS Star Practice Management and IRIS Firm Management users, and will be available later this year. "We believe these integrations will significantly enhance workflow efficiency and productivity for IRIS Practice Engine, IRIS Star Practice Management, and IRIS Firm Management users, enabling them to focus more on their daily tasks while leveraging the advanced capabilities of Empire SUITE," said Jim Dunham, President and General Manager for IRIS Americas.
With these integrations, clients and jobs added within IRIS applications are effortlessly mirrored in Empire SUITE. This streamlined process empowers Empire SUITE users to efficiently schedule Audit, Advisory, and CAS tasks through Empire RESOURCE using their innovative "Best Match" technology. Notably, tax compliance scheduling, once challenging for all but the largest returns, is now simplified with Empire AUTOMATED TAX SCHEDULING (ATS). This feature schedules tax work automatically and addresses common issues such as incomplete information or shifting priorities. By autonomously rescheduling tasks on a daily or weekly basis, the system ensures all tax filing obligations are met promptly.
"Understanding that different areas of accounting firms require different solutions is key to WSG's approach to scheduling," said Bill Cornfield, President, WSG Systems. "We can plan audits a year in advance and be 85% correct but when scheduling tax compliance work, we are lucky to be 50% correct two weeks in advance. Planning for tax compliance is difficult because the situation is constantly changing. For example, it is common for a user to open a return only to find critical information is missing. Because of the nature of tax compliance work, manual scheduling of large numbers of small engagements is not feasible. Work must be scheduled automatically and must be rescheduled automatically based upon what happens."
