Managed IT Services for Accounting

Accounting firms often need multilayered security defenses and reliable network performance to stay ahead of the competition. However, IT tasks can be daunting and time-consuming. By partnering with a managed IT service provider, you can concentrate on your core business and leave IT management to us.

Do You Need an MSP for Accounting?

Your accounting firm may need a managed IT service provider if it lacks enough staff to monitor the company’s IT systems. Cybercriminals target accounting firms’ systems because they handle sensitive data. An MSP can monitor your system 24/7, keeping it safe from hackers.

Types of Managed IT Services Used in Accounting

MSPs provide these IT services to accounting firms:

Cloud services: We provide reliable data storage, allowing you to safely store sensitive data, such as credit card information or financial statements. You can access files from any device, and our experts can provide automated backups to protect data.
Cybersecurity: We can add an extra layer of security to your system by implementing multifactor authentication and monitoring it around the clock. Our team can also implement disaster recovery to prevent costly downtime.
Networking: We constantly monitor the system for cyber threats and perform regular maintenance to keep it efficient. Through network segmentation, we can isolate financial data to prevent unauthorized access.

Benefits of Managed IT Services

Accounting firms that hire managed IT service providers enjoy these benefits:

Reduced cost: Paying multiple IT vendors for different services and hiring/retaining an in-house IT staff can be costly. Managed IT service providers only charge a monthly fixed rate with no hidden fees.
Ensured compliance: To ensure compliance, an accounting firm must ensure it has a backup for its data, the network is protected, and the system is regularly monitored. IT providers can help implement the necessary security measures to ensure compliance with relevant laws and industry standards.
24/7 assistance: Problems can happen after office hours. Hiring the services of an IT provider ensures around-the-clock support.
More secure IT systems: Accounting firms handle sensitive data, such as financial reports, bank account information, and confidential business information. Failure to implement a robust security measure could lead to a data breach, reputation damage, or business closure. Managed IT service providers can regularly monitor and audit the system, encrypt data, and install firewalls and other software to keep it more secure.
