Est-ce que ça vous convient ?

Just wondering why convenir is conjugated with vous as 'vous convient'.  Shouldn't it be vous convenez?  Please clarify.  Merci!

Elle, 

The demonstrative pronoun ‘ ça ‘ is the subject of ‘ convenir ‘ - hence 3rd person singular conjugation. 

As the verb form is ‘ convenir à qqn ‘, vous is the indirect object of convenir.
