The product is designed for small accounting practices in two versions, XCMessential and XCMessential Plus - both of which offer an easy upgrade path to the full version of XCM™ to meet the needs of growing firms.
“We know that all accounting professionals stand to benefit from the advantages of paperless work processes," said Mark Albrecht, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, XCM Solutions, LLC. "XCMessential is designed with the specific needs of sole practitioners and small firms in mind - to give them a turnkey solution that empowers them to begin building a paperless practice immediately, while also providing an easy upgrade path to the full version of XCM as their practice grows."
Both XCMessential and XCMessential Plus feature XCM's award-winning functionality, including digital workflow capabilities, a personal home page for each user, due date monitoring and tracking, knowledge management, and client service and management reporting. Additionally, Windows® Explorer integration gives firms real-time access to important client documents as the work moves intelligently through the office or to remote workers, enabling a completely paperless process.
XCMessential is designed for one to five person firms with one practice area, and is offered at $95 per month. XCMessential Plus is designed for firms with six to 10 people or that have two practice areas, and is offered at $150 per month. Firms may choose among four workflow categories, which include Tax, Bookkeeping/Accounting, Financial, or Other (for proposals, HR, etc.), to suit their particular practice area(s). Both solutions are available for purchase on the XCMessential Web site (www.xcmessential.com) and require a one-time $500 fee that covers all setup, training, and support services. XCM Solutions is inviting practitioners to evaluate the software's advantages prior to purchase with a free 30-day trial.
