-
Cloud: Legacy on-premises applications and aging servers limit your ability to keep uptime close to 100 percent, modernize your software and customer experience, and collaborate online with your employees.
-
Compliance: CPA firms must remain compliant with a variety of regulations—including the FTC’s Safeguards Rule, data breach notification laws, and specific industry compliance requirements depending on what clients you serve.
-
Cybersecurity: Cyber criminals relentlessly target CPA firms with phishing attacks meant to deploy malware and ransomware into your environment that can lead to permanent data loss, operational disruption, and loss of clients. All it takes is one big data breach to severely impact your firm.
