Before Cimplico Workpapers, Forvis Mazars QLD & NT and their 140+ staff faced challenges typical of large firms relying on manual processes and legacy Excel-based workpapers.

Charlotte Bates from Forvis Mazars highlighted that Cimplico’s intuitive interface immediately provided clarity and improved visibility over the status of open jobs.
