LedgerOS vs CCH Document
CCH Document is the gold standard for firms that get audited or sued. We match every records-management feature and add AI on top.
Every module, every seat. No tiers and nothing priced per module.
On CCH Document you are still buying, separately: ai auto-rename on upload; duplicate detection on ingest. Add up your stack →

LedgerOS columns describe the product as it ships today. Competitor columns are summarized conservatively from each vendor’s public materials, and list prices were last confirmed on 20 August 2026. Where we could not verify a competitor’s behavior we say so rather than guess.
Deep integration with the rest of the CCH suite (Axcess, ProSystem fx, Engagement). If your firm runs the entire CCH stack, that lock-in is real.
Documents identified and renamed on arrival, duplicates caught before they land, and an archive wired into the practice management you already work in. Our desktop agent reads exports from Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries, UltraTax CS and CCH Axcess — the tax software most small and mid-size firms actually run.
One seat, 18 modules
The reason the price comparison above is not like-for-like: a LedgerOS seat is not a practice-management seat with add-ons available. Every module is in it, at one price, and there is no tier that withholds one.
