CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business, is a leading global provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software, and services.

"With feedback from customers saying they love the increased mobility of IntelliConnect via their smartphones and tablets, we've improved on delivering the information they need while adding even more content," said Tina Rajski, CCH product manager. "With another tax season on the horizon, we're providing maximized mobility for professionals who need to stay on top of news and developments, meet with clients outside the office, and accomplish more when they're on the move."

IntelliConnect's user-friendly design makes it easy for accessing quick links to instant answers in the Quick Bar at the top of the home page right above the Browse Tree.
