IT support for accountancy practices
Secure systems for client financial data, phones that cope with busy season, and support that doesn't drop the ball when deadlines hit. Built for accountants by an Exeter team.
An accountancy practice handles some of its clients' most sensitive information — accounts, payroll, tax affairs. It also has a brutal seasonal rhythm around tax and filing deadlines. We build IT that keeps that data secure and holds up when the pressure peaks.
Secure, and busy-season ready
We set up Microsoft 365 and access controls so client financial data is protected, put Cyber Essentials in place, and make sure your systems and phones don't buckle in the run-up to a deadline.
The brief
What it support for accountants actually needs from IT & comms
Client financial data security
Accounts, payroll and tax data are about as sensitive as it gets. We secure Microsoft 365 access, protect the data and back it up, so a breach or loss doesn't put client trust at risk.
Busy-season pressure
Filing deadlines pile the work on. We make sure your systems, support and phones hold up under the peak instead of choosing the worst possible moment to fall over.
Making Tax Digital and cloud accounting
MTD and cloud accounting mean your practice lives in the cloud. We get your Microsoft 365, connectivity and security set up so the software your practice runs on stays fast and reliable.
Fielding client calls
Clients ring for advice and reassurance, especially near deadlines. A cloud phone system with sensible routing and call recording keeps you reachable and keeps a record of what was agreed.

FAQs
Common questions

Will our systems cope during busy season?
That's what we plan for. We make sure your systems, support and phones hold up under the deadline peak, with proactive monitoring catching issues before they bite rather than failing at the worst time.
Do you support cloud accounting and Making Tax Digital?
Yes — we get your Microsoft 365, connectivity and security set up so the cloud software your practice runs on stays fast and reliable. We support the IT around the accounting platforms, whichever you use.
