IT support for accountants in Sussex
Protect client financial data, stay up through the busy periods and defend against fraud aimed at accountancy firms, with a managed IT team based in Burgess Hill.
Common IT issues for this sector
The problems below come up again and again for organisations like yours.
Client financial data held at scale
Tax returns, bank details and ID documents make accountancy firms an attractive target. Strong access controls and encryption reduce the damage if something goes wrong.
Payment redirection and invoice fraud
Criminals impersonate clients or suppliers by email to change bank details. Callback verification and email authentication make this much harder.
Downtime in the busy periods
A failed server or locked account at a deadline costs far more than at a quiet time. Monitoring and planned maintenance keep you running.
Sharing files with clients securely
Email attachments are a weak way to send sensitive documents. A controlled sharing platform with multi-factor authentication is safer and tidier.

Questions we are asked
How should an accountancy firm share files with clients?
Use a controlled platform such as SharePoint, or your practice software’s client portal, with multi-factor authentication, rather than email attachments.
What is payment redirection fraud?
A criminal impersonates a client or supplier by email and asks you to change bank details. Checking changes by phoning a known number, and protecting your email domain, reduces the risk.
