Tech Guru
What your firm gets

Everything your firm runs on. Built for accounting firms.

Everything maps back to three outcomes: operational efficiency, higher margins, and greater enterprise value. Here is how it is structured.

The Foundation

The technology operating foundation every accounting firm needs.

Enterprise-grade technology and security, scaled to firms of any shape and size: in-office or fully remote, US-only or globally distributed. Security is built into everything your team touches, for every person, from day one.

Help whenever your team needs it

Real engineers, 24/7/365. No tiers, no scripts read back to you. 15-minute response time, guaranteed, or we credit you $100.

A security operations center

Your firm is watched around the clock, with proactive alerting and fast mitigation.

Behind-the-scenes engineering

We keep Microsoft 365 fast, current, and hardened (DLP, SSO, and more), and we administer every app we can get admin rights to: password management, PDF tools, VPN. Your password manager is monitored, not just installed.

Quarterly strategy

Client Success turns your firm goals into a technology plan, every quarter.

A complete security suite, every user

MFA, managed threat detection, security awareness training, password management, and cloud-to-cloud Microsoft 365 backup. Built in for everyone.

Global PC procurement and deployment

We procure, secure, and deploy devices for your team wherever they are in the world.

Your team works on its own fast, secure computers

We secure and tune the actual machine in front of each person, so it is fast and locked down at the same time. No laggy cloud desktops or terminal servers. The only exception is legacy Windows apps like Drake and UltraTax, which we host for you.

Your complete IT department, on tap

Four teams working in parallel. One number to call.

Technology Support

Phone, Teams, or portal. Anything with buttons and lights, your team gets a real human, not a queue.

Security & Network Ops

Monitors and remediates threats, anomalies, and patching around the clock, weekends and tax-season nights included.

Client Success

Strategic Technology Planning every 90 days: roadmap, AI adoption, and KPIs against your business priorities.

Sys Admin & Compliance

Engineering, automation, and the SOC 2-aligned controls that keep you audit-ready. The lights stay on, and so does the paper trail.

Our partners

Built with the partners accounting firms trust.

The secure foundation we build your firm on, kept fast, current, and hardened.

Practice management built for accounting firms, supported end to end.

Growth and community partner helping modern firms scale.

Your network, wherever your team works

One secure network, home or office, fully managed.

Wherever your team works, we deploy the network, manage and monitor it around the clock, and keep the equipment updated. The same secure standard at home and in the office.

Managed office network

For firms with an office, we design, deploy, and run a secure network for the building, monitored around the clock with equipment kept patched and current.

Managed home-office networks

For remote team members, we deploy the same secure, managed network at home, monitored and kept up to date, so working from anywhere is as safe as the office.

Deployment and onboarding

The hardware and the first day, handled anywhere in the world.

Devices are warehoused and staged so a new computer ships ready to work, and one specialist owns the whole handoff.

PC deployment

Procure, warehouse, provision, deliver, set up, and onboard the person to the device, one clean handoff, anywhere in the world. Not a box on a doorstep.

New hire onboarding

A specialist owns the new hire’s first-day setup end to end, wherever they are, so day one is effortless and reflects well on your firm.

Four operations centers: Minneapolis, Tampa, Cape Town, and Manila. We inventory, provision, and ship devices to your staff around the globe.
Voice & SMS

Your phone system, right inside Microsoft Teams.

We deploy Microsoft Teams Voice, so your team makes and takes calls in the Teams app they already use, on a laptop, desktop, or phone. Prefer a handset? Use a desk phone with Teams built in. Integrated, simple, easy to use.

  • Make and receive calls inside Teams, on any device
  • Desk phones with Teams integrated, for anyone who wants one
  • Transfer calls across your team and handle voicemail in one place
  • Send and receive SMS from the same number
Accounting App Cloud Hosting

Your legacy tax and accounting apps, hosted and secured.

We host your Windows-based tax, accounting, and related software in a fast, secure cloud desktop, then keep it locked down and easy to use.

  • All your legacy Windows tax and accounting applications, hosted for you
  • SharePoint syncs your files to the cloud desktop and your local computer, so moving between them is seamless and your files are always at hand
  • Encryption and multi-factor authentication enforced, with Office apps included in the cloud desktop
  • Add new software titles easily and scale users up or down as your firm changes
  • We help you move to browser-based software at your pace, so eventually you will not need the cloud desktop at all
AI adoption

Real help putting AI to work, not just talk about it.

We meet you where you are: guidance included in your managed services, and hands-on builds when you are ready to go further.

Guidance, included

Practical guidance, suggestions, and relevant experience from a team that does this every day, plus connections to other firms in our client community who are solving the same problems. Included in the scope of your managed services.

We build it for you

When you want to go further, we build it and train your team to use it: automate a workflow, establish an integration, or build AI agents, customized and configured for how your team works. We also help hands-on with selecting the right tools. Scoped and quoted as a fixed-fee project.

Mergers, migrations & acquisitions

Big projects, run with project management excellence.

Many IT projects go off the rails. Ours do not. We scope the project in detail, manage every aspect, and work to minimize downtime and the time your staff has to spend on it, so you reach the return on your investment in the shortest time possible.

  • A dedicated project manager assigned to your project
  • Our own custom-built project management software, with best practices built in
  • Detailed scoping up front, so there are no surprises
  • Proactive risk mitigation at every step, not damage control after
  • Minimal downtime and minimal demand on your team
  • Maximum ROI, in the shortest time possible

Pre-acquisition technology assessment

Know what you are acquiring before you sign: the tech debt, the security posture, and what integration will take. A standalone fixed-fee assessment, for clients and non-clients alike.

How we compare

Not a hosted desktop. Your whole technology department.

Comparing us to hosted desktop providers like Rightworks or Verito, or to a generalist MSP? The difference is simple: we secure your real computer, wherever it is, so your team uses its tech stack the way it was meant to be used.
