Tax software is slow, broken, or unsupported
Lacerte, UltraTax, Thomson Reuters, and similar platforms need proper infrastructure to perform. Slow workstations and poor network configuration during tax season costs you billable hours.

01 · Common IT problems at accounting firms
IT pain points we solve for CPA firms.
Sound familiar? These are the issues we hear from every accounting firm we work with.
Client data security is a real liability
Your firm holds sensitive financial records, SSNs, and business data for every client. One breach is a practice-ending event. Most accounting firms are not set up to prevent it.
Remote access for staff is unreliable
Seasonal staff, remote CPAs, and partner access to client files needs to be fast, secure, and auditable. VPN solutions that were patched together years ago do not cut it anymore.
No one owns the IT strategy between seasons
IT only gets attention when something breaks before a deadline. You need a partner who keeps systems current and prepares for peak season before it arrives.
02 · What we provide
IT services built for accounting firms.
Managed support, tax software infrastructure, client data security, secure remote access, and cloud.
Managed IT support
Proactive monitoring, help desk, patch management, and vendor coordination. We keep your systems running all year, not just when something breaks.
Tax software infrastructure
Performance-optimized workstations and networks for Lacerte, UltraTax, ProSeries, and Thomson Reuters. We ensure your software runs fast when deadlines are closest.
Client data security
Endpoint protection, encrypted file storage, MFA, and access control. Your client data is protected at rest, in transit, and on every device that touches it.
Secure remote access
VPN and zero-trust remote access for CPAs, seasonal staff, and partners. Auditable, role-based access so the right people reach the right files — and no one else.
Cloud migration
Move your firm to Microsoft 365 or other cloud platforms. We handle migration, configuration, and ongoing support with a focus on data security and compliance.
IT strategy & peak-season planning
Quarterly technology reviews and peak-season readiness assessments. We make sure your IT is ready before January, not scrambling in March.
03 · Common questions
Accounting firm IT services questions.
Do you work with small CPA firms?
Yes. We work with solo practitioners, small CPA firms, and mid-market accounting practices. Our services scale to your team size and client volume without the overhead of large IT vendors.
Can you support our tax software?
Yes. We support major tax platforms including Lacerte, UltraTax, ProSeries, and Thomson Reuters products. We optimize the underlying infrastructure so your software performs reliably during busy seasons.
How do you protect client financial data?
We implement endpoint protection, encrypted storage, MFA, and role-based access controls. We also conduct regular vulnerability assessments to identify and address gaps before they become incidents.
Can you set up secure remote access for our staff?
Yes. We design and implement secure remote access solutions with audit logging and role-based permissions. Seasonal staff and remote CPAs get the access they need, nothing more.
Does this count as diverse spend?
Yes. Evolve Blue is NMSDC MBE Certified. When contracted directly, every billing dollar generates Tier 1 MBE spend for your supplier diversity program.
