Accounting Leaders Endorse the M-Files Advantage

"Document Security is much simpler, more flexible and transparent."

National Technology Director Crowe UK

“Initially, some employees who had been using paperbased accounting for years worried that working from M-Files would be inconvenient. However, the solution’s flexibility and user-friendly interface quickly turned resistance into enthusiastic support.”

Miklós Héhn
Partner, Deputy CEO at RSM Hungary Zrt.

“We’re able to actually know the state of the return, whether it’s been accepted by the IRS or not. And then that actually pushes us to a different state in our workflow. So, we can manage that through M-Files and not actually have to go to the tax software itself.”

Jim Himmelwright
Partner at Himmelwright, Huguley & Boles

“There's a reduce in the risk that our clients are having to take on because we now control those documents and that data so much better than we did before.”

Dave Bufkin
CIO at Horne LLP
