Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), a global fintech leader, have enhanced their longstanding relationship by entering into a strategic alliance to provide an industry-leading solution for cost basis and tax reporting processing needs.

The alliance provides the ability to seamlessly share necessary tax reporting data directly between Broadridge Brokerage Processing Services (BPS) clients and the GainsKeeper cost basis solution.

We are pleased to collaborate with a firm of Broadridge’s deep experience, expertise and integrity in the financial services arena to make GainsKeeper capabilities available to a broader market.”

“This offering helps clients better navigate the complex world of cost basis tracking, calculation and reporting in a manner that is seamless and transparent and further builds on our longstanding work with Wolters Kluwer,” said Mike Alexander, President of Wealth Management, Broadridge. “We are excited to better serve our clients and prospects and help them leverage the first-rate capabilities of GainsKeeper to help effectively run their business.”
