  3. Launch the CFS program and login with your CFS credentials if prompted.

  7. The importer will prompt for the user's Lacerte account credentials.
  8. A dialog will appear prompting you to find the Lacerte DBF file. Select it and click Open.
  9. Select the clients to import and click Import or click Import All to import all clients.
