Fifteen minutes with Kareem, the founder — a plain-English read on your uptime, backup, and Safeguards Rule gaps. For tax and accounting firms in North Houston. 3-workstation minimum.
Built for filing season
Tax and accounting firms carry risks most managed-IT quotes leave out. Every one of these is inside the flat $125 rate.
Drake, Lacerte, UltraTax, and QuickBooks in multi-user mode are unforgiving when the network, the database host, or a single workstation hangs mid-return. We monitor and patch the whole chain — and schedule the disruptive maintenance for May, not the middle of February.
Every PTIN holder attests on IRS Form W-12 that a written data security plan exists. The FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR 314, under GLBA — fully effective June 9, 2023) and IRS Publication 4557 spell out the controls; IRS Pub 5708 is the WISP template. We implement MFA, encryption, access control, and logging, then hand you the written evidence for your file.
You hold SSNs, EINs, prior-year returns, and bank details — a full identity kit per client. A breach is a reportable event with real liability (Safeguards Rule penalties reach roughly $100k per violation). Endpoint detection on every machine, encrypted backups, a business-class firewall, and MFA everywhere keep that data yours.
Compliance items above are IT implementation guidance, not legal advice — we build and document the technical controls; your firm still signs the attestation.
Per workstation
One rate. No security "add-on," no backup "upgrade," no after-hours meter. Everything below is already in the number.
Nights, weekends, and all of filing season — you call, we answer, no hourly meter ever.
After-hours includedBehavior-based EDR on every machine — not signature antivirus.
SentinelOneContinuous, ransomware-resistant backup with restores we actually test.
Axcient x360We spec the gear; you buy it at our cost. Monitoring, firmware, and policy are on us — hardware is never in the monthly.
UniFiEvery ticket gets a same-day response — written into the agreement, not just promised.
In writingWe come to your office, document everything, and fix the obvious in week one.
IncludedFirewall and network are fully managed — but hardware is never included. We recommend the right gear and send the links; you buy it at our cost, zero markup. Backup and after-hours support are subject to fair use; unusually large datasets add storage billed at cost.

$125 per workstation per month, with everything on this page included. Servers are $275/month. Software licenses and any hardware are billed at our cost with zero markup — hardware is never rolled into the monthly. Three-workstation minimum, twelve-month initial term. Project work — migrations, office moves, buildouts — is quoted separately in writing.
You call, we answer, and no timer starts. Unlimited support includes after-hours, nights, and weekends under fair use — support consistent with what it normally takes to run a firm your size. The same-day response SLA applies to every ticket, in season or out. Project work is still project work.
We build and document the safeguards. The FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS Pub 4557 define the controls behind your Form W-12 attestation — MFA, encryption, access control, logging, an incident-response plan — and we implement them and hand you the written evidence for your file. The attestation itself is yours to sign; we make sure there's a real plan behind it. This is IT implementation guidance, not legal advice.
