IT Services for Accounting & Financial Services
Your clients trust you with their financial data. We make sure that data is protected, your systems stay running through tax season, and you meet CRA and compliance requirements.
IT Challenges for Accounting Firms
Accounting firms handle SINs, financial statements, tax returns, and banking information daily. A single breach can expose hundreds of clients and destroy your reputation.
Tax Season Uptime
When April hits, your systems cannot go down. CRA e-filing, client portals, and accounting software must be available and fast during your busiest months.
Client Data Volume
Accounting firms store massive amounts of sensitive data: SINs, T4s, financial statements, bank details. This makes you a high-value target for cybercriminals.
Remote Access Needs
Staff working from home during tax season, partners accessing files from client sites, and after-hours deadline work all require secure remote access.
CPA & CRA Requirements
CPA Canada expects firms to maintain adequate security controls. CRA EFILE and NetFile require secure transmission. Cyber insurance applications demand documented controls.
