Thomson Reuters Announces Timesaving Integration Between GoSystem Tax ES™ and Copanion’s Gruntworx Pro™

Automates Time-Consuming Process of Manually Entering Client Data

The Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters announced today that its premier Enterprise Suite™ application, GoSystem Tax ES, now integrates with Copanion’s newly released GruntWorx Pro—Copanion’s next generation web-based tax document automation platform. Copanion technology efficiently “reads” and classifies data from tax source documents with the highest level of accuracy. GoSystem Tax ES then pulls data in to automatically populate returns. The integration between systems further enhances the powerful functionality of GoSystem Tax ES by automating the time-consuming process of organizing and manually entering client data.

"We are always looking for opportunities to extend the interaction between GoSystem Tax ES and advanced third-party products. GruntWorx Pro is an ideal application for source document scanning because of its state-of-the-art technology and exceptional accuracy" stated Tom Walsh, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Market, Tax & Accounting, Thomson Reuters. “Working with Copanion is another example of Thomson Reuter’s commitment to integration flexibility. Not only do we offer deep and compelling integration among our Enterprise Suite products, but our systems also work proficiently with several value-added third-party applications, like GruntWorx Pro, to expand the efficiencies associated with integrated systems.”

“GruntWorx Pro complements the sophisticated features in GoSystem Tax ES that enterprise tax professionals need to prepare highly complex returns,” said Steven Ladd, CEO of Copanion. “Working together we are delivering a solution that will automate the time-consuming process of organizing and entering tax data for returns that could have hundreds of source documents.

In large firms, where multiple professionals are involved in each return, we can now help standardize the up front data entry portion of workflows. We’re excited to be able to offer these tax document automation capabilities and improve the business of tax preparation with a proven solution like GoSystem Tax ES.”
