IT support for accounting firms
Tax season leaves no time for a crashed computer, a locked account or a phishing scam. RHK keeps Toronto and GTA accounting and bookkeeping firms' systems secure, backed up and running all year, with fast help when deadlines are close.
The IT problems accounting firms can't afford
Client financial data and hard filing deadlines make IT problems more costly for accountants than most.
Busy-season downtime
A failed computer or slow network in March or April costs billable hours you can't get back.
Sensitive client data
Tax returns, banking details and ID documents need protection on every computer, phone and shared folder.
Tax-season scams
Fake tax-agency messages and client impersonation emails peak exactly when staff are busiest.
Sharing files with clients
Clients still send documents by email attachment because no one set up a better, more secure way.
IT built around the accounting year
We look after the whole office so your team can focus on clients and deadlines.
Busy-season readiness
Computers, software and backups checked before tax season, with priority response when deadlines are near.
Protected client data
Multi-factor sign-in, encrypted laptops, sensible file permissions and alerts on risky sign-ins.
Phishing protection
Advanced email filtering plus a Verify Email button in Outlook so staff can check suspicious messages first.
Secure file sharing
SharePoint and OneDrive set up so clients can send and receive documents through secure links instead of attachments.

Common questions
Do you work with small accounting firms?
Yes. We work with small and growing accounting and bookkeeping firms and give them the security and support of a large firm's IT department, without the cost of one.
How do you prepare for tax season?
Before busy season we check computers, updates, software and backups, fix anything slow or failing, and keep response times tight while deadlines are close.
How can clients send us documents securely?
We set up SharePoint and OneDrive so clients can upload and receive documents through secure links, instead of sending sensitive files as email attachments.
How do you protect against tax-season phishing?
Advanced email filtering blocks most scams before they arrive, multi-factor sign-in protects accounts if a password is stolen, and staff can check any doubtful message with the Verify Email button in Outlook.
