Longview Tax

Avantages

The excel add-in makes importing / exporting data extremely easy. We've been able to reconfigure our standard excel based provisions into an importable format for ease of reviewing but then still have the data in LV to consolidate.

Inconvénients

There are random items LV doesn't have fully built out. For them most part it is great, but every now and then our consultant tells us of a workaround we need to use.

Inconvénients

Interim reporting functionality is limited, so manual carveouts for discrete events and application of FIN 18 may be necessary (if using a full-year forecast approach).
