IT for NYC professional firms

Secure IT & AI for NYC accounting and law firms

Local, certified IT support that protects your client data, keeps you compliant, and uses AI to take the busywork out of tax season, so you can focus on clients instead of computers.

Sound familiar?

Your firm runs on client trust, but your IT runs on luck

Most small firms don't have an IT department. They have a busy partner, an office manager, or "a guy we call." That works until it doesn't.

Did you know? Many firms are legally required to have a written security plan.

Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, tax preparers and accounting firms must maintain a Written Information Security Plan (WISP), and the IRS guides preparers on this in Publications 4557 and 5708. New York's SHIELD Act also requires any business holding New Yorkers' private information to have reasonable security safeguards.

This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to your attorney about your firm's specific obligations.

When you call, you get me: someone who knows your systems, speaks plain English, and can be at your office when it matters.

FAQ

Common questions

We already have someone who helps with our IT. Why switch?

You may not need to. The free check tells you honestly whether your current setup protects you. Many firms keep their existing helper for small tasks and use us for security, compliance and backups, the areas that carry real risk.

Do we really need a WISP?

Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, tax preparers and accounting firms are required to maintain one, and New York's SHIELD Act requires reasonable safeguards for New Yorkers' private information. We'll walk you through what applies to your firm. For legal questions, check with your attorney.

Is the free check really free?

Yes. It's a 30-minute review and a one-page report. If you want help fixing what we find, we'll give you a fixed quote. If not, the report is yours to keep.

Do we have to sign a long contract?

No. Monthly plans are month-to-month after onboarding. We'd rather earn your business every month.

You're a smaller provider. What if you're unavailable?

Your systems are monitored automatically around the clock, everything is documented, and you always keep full admin access. Being small also means you deal with one person who knows your firm, not a different technician every time.

Is AI safe to use with confidential client data?

It can be, if it's set up correctly. We only use business-grade tools with appropriate data protections, keep sensitive data out of public AI tools, and document everything in your WISP.
