Hear what other pros think of cloud hosting for tax software

Thanks to Hosting from Intuit, we have consistency for our whole team. During COVID, employees were able to log in from home. When we experienced an employee moving out of state, we were able to accommodate her with cloud hosting, so we didn't lose a valued employee.
