IT support built for accounting firms
Accounting firms run on client data and deadlines. When your systems are slow or your software won't connect during tax time, it costs you billable hours. Simple IT keeps your firm's technology working so your team can get through the workload.
We support firms using practice software and cloud accounting tools like Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, and we understand how important it is to keep client financial records private and available. You get a local team that answers the phone and knows how an accounting practice works.
Industry challenges
IT challenges accounting firms face
The issues we hear about most from accountants and bookkeepers.
Keeping client financial data secure
Firms hold tax file numbers, bank details and financial records that are a target for scammers. This data needs proper protection, not just a password on the front door.
Pressure at tax time
Workloads spike around lodgement deadlines. Slow computers, software faults or an internet outage at the wrong moment can put real pressure on your team.
Email scams and fake invoices
Accounting firms are regularly targeted by email fraud and invoice redirection. Staff need protection and training to spot the warning signs.
Working securely from anywhere
Many firms have staff working from home or at client sites. That access needs to be set up securely so client data stays protected.
