FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you keep our systems running through tax season?
Tax season is when we plan for the least tolerance for downtime. We verify backups, patch and reboot on a schedule that avoids filing deadlines, pre-stage spare hardware, and prioritize accounting clients for urgent response between January and April.
How do you protect client financial data?
Encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege file permissions per client, audit logging, and secure file sharing instead of email attachments. Staff who leave lose access the same day.
Do you support QuickBooks, Lacerte, Drake, and UltraTax?
Yes. We handle workstation and server setup, multi-user data file hosting, year-over-year rollover preparation, printing and PDF workflows, and the performance problems that show up when a return set gets large.
Do you help with IRS Publication 4557 safeguards?
Yes. Publication 4557 lays out the safeguards the IRS expects a tax preparer to have in place — written security plan, employee training, multi-factor authentication, and backup. We help you implement the technical controls and produce evidence that they exist.
What is your response time during filing deadlines?
Urgent issues during filing season are triaged ahead of routine work. Call the office directly at (321) 302-0036 rather than emailing if a deadline is at risk, and we will tell you plainly whether it can be fixed remotely or needs hands on the machine.
Do you support remote staff and seasonal hires?
Yes. We can stand up a standard remote-worker build, scope access to the specific clients a seasonal preparer needs, and revoke it cleanly when the season ends — which is both a security control and an audit-trail convenience.
