LAKE SUCCESS, NewYork & MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota -- April 28, 2010 -- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR) and Convey Compliance Systems have partnered to provide a comprehensive tax reporting and tax compliance solution designed to meet the increasingly complex tax processing and withholding needs of broker-dealers.

“We know that broker-dealers are looking for more affordable, flexible options to address their tax compliance needs across multiple business lines,” said Brian Provost, CEO at Convey Compliance Systems. “We are excited to be working with Broadridge to extend our proven tax reporting technologies to the broker-dealer market. Our combined expertise and shared strategy of applying technology innovation to reduce overall processing costs will help the broker-dealer community deal more efficiently with the rapidly changing compliance environment,” Mr. Provost continued.
