Protecting Client and Financial Data
Accounting firms hold some of the most sensitive data their clients own — and protecting it is both good practice and an expectation regulators share. The IRS requires paid tax preparers to maintain a written information security plan, and we help firms put the underlying safeguards in place: encryption, multi-factor authentication, managed threat detection, email security, and secure backup. We can also help document those controls so you have evidence of the protections you have implemented.
Software and Systems We Support
We support the practice management, accounting, and tax-preparation applications your firm depends on — whether they run on local workstations, a server, or a cloud-hosted platform. If your firm is considering a move to cloud-hosted accounting software, we can help you plan and manage the transition.
