FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Accounting Firm IT Services
Can you handle the tax-season load reality for an accounting firm?
Yes. From January through April, accounting firms run 12-14 hour days. Servers that limped along the rest of the year crash under tax season load. We pre-test infrastructure every December — ISP capacity, UPS battery health, server headroom, backup verification — so firms running Lacerte, ProSeries, UltraTax, or Drake don't lose a single return to IT failure. Plus expanded support coverage during peak weeks.
What tax software do you support — Lacerte, ProSeries, UltraTax, Drake, ATX?
All of them. Plus CCH ProSystem fx, Thomson Reuters GoSystem Tax, TaxWise, and the various state-specific filing platforms. We handle the server-side infrastructure, integration with document management, e-file transmission reliability, and the user provisioning for seasonal staff.
Can you handle QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, AND other accounting platforms?
Yes. QuickBooks Enterprise hosted environments (Right Networks, Cloud9, Summit Hosting), QuickBooks Online including Advanced, Sage 50, Sage Intacct, Xero, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics GP/Business Central. We don't push you to a specific platform — we manage what you use.
How do you handle multi-firm document management — files for hundreds of clients?
Document management platforms like Doc.It, SmartVault, Suralink, ShareFile for Accountants, eFileCabinet. We manage the platform, integration with tax software for return PDFs, secure client portals for document upload/download, encryption of sensitive client data at rest, retention policies matching IRS requirements (3-7 years depending on document type), and audit logging.
What does PCI compliance involve for an accounting firm that processes client payments?
If you accept credit card payments for fees (most firms now do via Stripe, Square, or payment processors integrated with QuickBooks/Xero), you have PCI obligations. Most firms are Level 4 merchants (under $20K/month) with self-assessment requirements. We handle: network segmentation isolating any system that touches card data, encryption, documented controls, quarterly external vulnerability scans, and the annual self-assessment questionnaire.
How do you handle the IRS e-Services and the various tax authority portals?
We manage your firm's access to IRS e-Services, state tax authority portals, plus client-specific portals where applicable (Treasury Direct, Federal Tax Online, state-level systems). Two-factor authentication, account management, password/security management. Plus the practical reality of multiple staff needing access without sharing credentials.
What cybersecurity do accounting firms specifically need beyond standard small-business security?
Accounting firms hold the keys to the kingdom — bank account access, payroll authority, tax IDs, financial data on everyone. Specific threats: BEC targeting payroll redirects, ransomware that locks tax season returns, credential theft via password reuse exposing client financial accounts. Our accounting firm cybersecurity: MFA everywhere, EDR on all devices, encrypted backups with immutable copy, security awareness training tuned to tax-season phishing patterns, and PCI compliance for fee processing.
Will your IT scale with us during growth from solo CPA to multi-partner firm?
Yes. Solo CPA: small-team tier sized for 2-5 person operations at $400-$1,200/month. Mid-size firm (3-8 CPAs + staff): $2,000-$4,000/month. Larger firms: $4,000-$8,000+/month. Architecture scales — same M365 tenant grows, document management adds capacity, tax software scales linearly with users. We design for growth from day one.
