IT That Keeps Your Firm Running Through Tax Season
Managed IT and cybersecurity for accounting and CPA firms in the Kansas City metro. Tax-season uptime, protection for sensitive financial data, Microsoft 365 security, and the evidence the FTC Safeguards Rule and your cyber insurer expect.
Why Accounting IT Is Different
Your firm faces seasonal, regulatory, and security pressures that generic IT support was not built to handle.
Tax Season Cannot Afford Downtime
From January through April, an outage is lost revenue and missed deadlines. Proactive monitoring, automated patching, and immutable backups keep your systems and tax software available exactly when the pressure is highest.
You Hold Highly Sensitive Financial Data
SSNs, financials, and banking details make your firm a prime target. Managed EDR, 24/7 monitoring, and strong access controls protect client data and your reputation far better than basic antivirus.
Microsoft 365 and Cloud Accounting Need Hardening
Most firms run on Microsoft 365 plus cloud accounting platforms, and the default settings are not secure. We close the common gaps: MFA coverage, admin access, email forwarding rules, external sharing, and legacy authentication.
Wire Fraud Spikes During Filing Season
Attackers impersonate partners and clients to redirect payments and steal refunds. MFA, advanced email filtering, and forwarding-rule monitoring shut down the business email compromise playbook before it costs anyone money.
You Should Not Need In-House IT
Most firms under 50 staff cannot justify dedicated IT. We become your IT department: help desk, security, and infrastructure management for a predictable monthly cost that fits your model.
The FTC Safeguards Rule Requires Proof
The FTC Safeguards Rule and cyber insurers expect specific controls: access management, encryption, MFA, monitoring, and a written information security program. We produce that evidence continuously, not the week before a deadline.
Built for Accounting Firms
The Managed IT Department combines day-to-day support, endpoint protection, Microsoft 365 hardening, reliable backups, and the security evidence accounting firms need throughout tax season.
