Managed IT services for accounting firms we offer
Andersen structures its managed IT services for CPA firms around the functions practices depend on — help desk, security, software, cloud, backup, and IT strategy — each tied to an outcome.
We run a 24/7 help desk, so a partner locked out during filing week reaches a technician in minutes. Our IT support for CPAs clears login, printing, and app issues before they cost billable time.
What this includes:
- Tiered ticketing with priority routing for urgent issues;
- Remote and onsite support for workstations, laptops, and phones;
- Responsive client service that keeps accounting operations moving.
Andersen defends practices from phishing, ransomware, and takeover with continuous monitoring and layered security controls, so a fraudulent email in filing season cannot expose client financial data.
What this includes:
- Managed detection and response with 24/7 continuous monitoring;
- Endpoint protection, identity and access management, and multi factor authentication;
- Security awareness training that reduces phishing and account-takeover risk.
Our engineers maintain and update the accounting software and tax tools your practice runs on, so upgrades and integrations happen outside peak periods, never interrupting returns.
What this includes:
- Installation, patching, and version control for tax and ledger tools;
- Integration between practice management, payroll, and document and data management systems.
Andersen delivers cloud hosting for tax software and firm workloads, moving desktops and apps to secure private or public cloud, so client files stay reachable from any office or remote workstation.
What this includes:
- Migration of accounting applications to AWS, Azure, or private cloud;
- Hosted desktops with secure access controls and secure data storage;
- Performance tuning that keeps data flows and software responsive at peaks.
We protect firm records with automated backups and tested restores, so a ransomware hit or hardware failure never causes data loss of returns, working papers, or client records.
What this includes:
- Automated, encrypted backups with documented RTO and RPO;
- Regular restore testing that safeguards business continuity.
Andersen manages networks, servers, and devices, strengthening network security and reliable remote access so staff across multiple locations work without interruption at year-end.
What this includes:
- Firewall, switching, and secure Wi-Fi across all offices;
- Reliable remote access and VPN for hybrid accounting teams.
Our vCIO and IT consulting services give leadership strategic guidance and a roadmap that align technology with growth, compliance, and budget, so investment supports strategic planning, not firefighting.
What this includes:
- Quarterly roadmap, budget planning, and advanced analytics on IT performance;
- Compliance and risk guidance for the FTC Safeguards Rule and client confidentiality.
