UltraTax CS Hosting

Thomson Reuters UltraTax CS is the tax preparation backbone for thousands of CPA firms running the CS Professional Suite. Its deep integration with Practice CS, Accounting CS, and GoSystem Tax makes it the hub of a Thomson Reuters-powered practice. Cloud hosting gives your firm multi-preparer access to the entire CS ecosystem from any location.

EezyCloud hosts UltraTax CS and the full CS Professional Suite on Azure-dedicated infrastructure alongside QuickBooks Desktop.

Why Host UltraTax CS

The CS Suite Demands a Unified Environment

UltraTax CS doesn’t exist in isolation. It pulls data from:

• Accounting CS (trial balances, bookkeeping data)
• Practice CS (engagement tracking, billing)
• FileCabinet CS (document management)
• NetClient CS (client portals)

Cloud hosting keeps all CS products on the same dedicated server. Data flows between them instantly — no network latency, no sync delays.

Firm-Wide Access During Peak Season

UltraTax CS workloads spike dramatically January through April. Partners, managers, preparers, and reviewers all need simultaneous access. Cloud hosting handles this at scale without the performance degradation that shared hosting providers experience during tax season.

Multi-Office Firms

Firms with multiple offices need consistent access to the same UltraTax CS installation. Cloud hosting centralizes everything — preparers in any office (or at home) work in the same client database.
