IT Support for Accounting & CPAs Firms
Accounting firms and CPA practices handle sensitive client data, strict compliance requirements, and demanding deadlines. HERO provides specialized IT support and managed cybersecurity for accounting firms, delivering secure, reliable systems with 24/7 protection and audit-ready compliance—all at a predictable monthly cost.
The Technology Struggles Facing Accounting Firms
Common IT Challenges for CPAs and Accounting Firms
Data Security Threats
Accounting firms handle financial data and tax records that make them top targets for phishing, ransomware, and cybercrime. Without strong protections, a single breach can devastate client trust.
Compliance & Regulations
CPAs must comply with industry regulations like IRS safeguards, GLBA, and data privacy laws. Many firms fail audits due to outdated IT policies or missing documentation.
Seasonal Workloads
During tax season or audit deadlines, downtime is not an option. Accounting firms need IT systems that can handle peak demand without interruptions.
Limited IT Resources
Most firms don't have in-house IT leadership, making it difficult to plan for cybersecurity, compliance, and long-term technology investments.
