FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Professional Services
What does 'professional services IT' actually include in your engagement?
Full-spectrum coverage tuned for professional services: M365 Business Premium (typically — gets you the security tier most pro services firms need), document management with proper retention, secure client portal, MFA enforcement, EDR endpoint security, tested backup, helpdesk, vCIO strategic guidance. Plus the industry-specific work (compliance documentation, regulatory IT requirements) for your specific profession.
Can you handle a mix of professional services — consultancies, marketing agencies, design firms, others?
Yes. Our professional services client base includes consultancies, marketing/advertising agencies, design studios (architecture, interior, graphic), engineering consultants, executive coaches, business consultants, executive search firms. The IT needs share commonalities (knowledge workers, document collaboration, client-facing communications) but vary in specifics (CAD for design, CRM patterns for consulting, etc.).
Do you handle multi-office or multi-state professional services operations?
Yes. Several of our professional services clients have multiple offices — Louisiana plus Houston, NO plus Mandeville, multi-state consulting firms. We unify with: shared file storage (SharePoint/OneDrive), single phone system across locations, unified email and identity, secure inter-office connectivity, centralized endpoint management. Both offices feel like one firm.
How do you handle client-confidential information and engagement-level access controls?
Engagement-based security: per-engagement folders or sites with role-based access (engagement team has access, other firm members don't), separate authentication for sensitive engagements when warranted, audit logging of access to confidential client material. Specifically important for consulting, M&A advisory, executive search, and similar engagements where information walls matter.
Can you support remote and hybrid work for a professional services firm?
Yes. Most of our professional services clients run hybrid (some in-office, some remote). Our setup: encrypted laptops for everyone, secure remote access, cloud-first applications (M365, Adobe Creative Cloud for design, etc.), video conferencing, document collaboration. The office becomes a meeting space, not where data lives.
How do you handle the seasonality and project-based work of consulting/agency businesses?
Variable workload requires flexible IT. We handle: scalable user licensing (add seats during busy periods, reduce during slow), project-based workspace setup and teardown (engagement folder creation, access provisioning), contractor/temp staff onboarding workflows, and the kind of capacity that handles spikes without infrastructure permanent expansion.
What does cybersecurity look like for a professional services firm?
Multi-layered: MFA everywhere, EDR on all endpoints, advanced email filtering, password manager rollout, security awareness training (phishing simulations monthly), tested backup, written incident response plan. Client confidentiality concerns add specific controls: encrypted email for sensitive communications, secure client portal for document exchange, audit logging of client material access.
What's the typical IT spend for a professional services firm?
Solo professional services (consultant, designer, advisor): small-team tier at $300-$800/month. Boutique firm (3-10 people): $1,200-$2,500/month. Mid-size firm (10-30 people): $2,500-$6,000/month. Larger professional services (30+): $6,000-$15,000+/month. Pricing scales with team size and complexity, not arbitrary tier brackets.
