IT Support for Accounting Firms

Yes, and it’s the right time to call. We get the slow work done in the off-season: updates tested, hardware checked, backups verified, logins cleaned up. That way January through April runs on systems we’ve already proven, instead of fixing things while the deadline clock is ticking.

That’s the core of the job. We use encryption, multi-factor login, and least-privilege access so client returns and financial records are reachable only by the people who should see them, and we document those controls so you can show your work if a client or insurer asks.

In almost all cases, yes. We keep your tax prep, accounting, and document-management software reliable, updated where the vendor allows, and coordinate with your software vendors so support stops being your job, especially right before filing season.

Yes. Tax and accounting firms are now covered by the FTC Safeguards Rule, and the IRS expects a written information security plan. We put the required controls in place, document them, and help you keep the plan current, so it’s something you can show instead of scramble for.

You get a real person fast. Critical issues get attention within the hour, and we keep tested backups and a recovery plan so a failed server or a ransomware attempt is a short setback, not a lost week of returns.

It’s priced to the size of your firm and what you need protected — a two-person practice and a 30-person firm are different plans. For managed IT clients, security and compliance support are built into the agreement. We’ll give you a number after a short assessment.
