tech support for accounting firms

it doesn’t have to be taxing

Hey you, with the spreadsheet. Ready to throw your computer out of the window? Things have moved on since the abacus, and you’re dealing with more bookkeeping tech than you can keep up with.

Don’t sweat it. At Siarp, our IT solutions for financial services have been tailormade for your specific needs. This isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s managed IT services at a level that suits you, whether it’s working our magic in the background or giving you on-site support.

why do accounting firms need

tech support?

We get it. You’re more interested in balancing the books than tinkering with tech. But just like any other industry, there are all sorts of privacy and compliance risks you need to be aware of. And more often than not, they’ll involve a computer.

Enter, Siarp. When it comes to IT support for the accounting sector, we’re looking at the three big C words:

  • Clients
  • Compliance
  • Continuity

Protecting your clients

It’d be pretty embarrassing if someone saw how much you spent online shopping, wouldn’t it? Well, now imagine it’s not your credit card bill but your company’s accounts. And it’s not a loved one looking through receipts…it’s a competitor, or even a hacker.

You owe it to your clients to keep their sensitive financial data safe. Filing cabinets are out and robust technology solutions are in. Our advanced data management keeps you safe from leaks and breaches, putting client data first and protecting the good name of your accounting practice.

Meeting your compliance needs

Our favourite unwanted party guest…compliance. Of course, in the accounting game, it goes far beyond tax returns. You’ve got everything to think about from money laundering to health and safety, so why not let an IT services provider take the load?

Meet regulatory requirements for data security with our proactive approach. Not only will we implement strict data protection processes; we’ll also give you strategic advice to meet those tricky standards. And we get that it changes too. We’ll stay ahead of the curve and keep you informed, whether it’s upgrades to accounting software or legal updates.

Assuring business continuity

Admit it – you thought the third C was going to be cybersecurity. You’d be halfway there – keeping on top of cyber-attacks ticks off those clients and compliance boxes, but it goes one step further.

It protects your business reputation. If global companies can be taken out by data leaks, anyone can. Our role is to focus on prevention through stringent cybersecurity measures, so you can focus on your brand. Or more simply, we’ll save your PR with GDPR.

how Siarp can help with your practice management

You know the problems. Now you need the solution. Outsourcing your IT needs offers a cost-effective alternative to constant training, manual updates and endless tech support. It looks a little something like this:

backups and maintenance

Keep business operations moving even while you sleep. Our data backups give you peace of mind, while automation for software updates and cybersecurity threats prevents critical downtime.

data protection

Banish the Post-its with robust password manager apps. Master document management with encrypted files, ensuring only authorised users can see those sensitive spreadsheets.

security solutions

A hacker’s worst nightmare. Our real-time antivirus monitoring keeps you safe from dodgy emails, while we’ll also perform regular security audits to future-proof your IT systems.

incident response

Got a wrongun? We’ll right it. You could be in data meltdown or you might just need one of our geeks to fix your gadgets. Whatever the threat level, we’ll be on it before it becomes a disaster.

“As a HR Consultant and new business owner, it is vital to surround yourself with experts you know you can trust. For IT and cyber security solutions, I found SIARP. They listened carefully to my requirements, offered invaluable advice and onboarded me with hardware and software packages that allowed my business to run smoothly from the outset. This is one worry I don’t need and have never had since working with SIARP. The ongoing support and advice is invaluable directly to me, but also, my clients whose data is protected. Quite simply, SIARP is the answer to set you up for success, and that allows me to focus on my area of expertise.”
