IT & cybersecurity
for accounting firms.
Diversicom has supported accounting firms for years, and one of our longest-standing clients is an accounting firm. We know the Thomson Reuters CS Professional Suite on your own servers inside and out, along with Intuit and Sage products, and we keep it all running through tax season, extensions and year-end.
A real person answers in about 15 seconds. On site across Tampa Bay, supporting firms nationwide.
Your tax software, servers and deadlines, handled
Accounting firms run on a handful of systems that cannot go down between January and April. We know those systems, and we plan around your calendar.
Thomson Reuters CS Professional Suite
We run the servers, databases and file shares behind UltraTax CS, Accounting CS, Practice CS and FileCabinet CS, handle the annual upgrades and updates, and keep performance steady when the whole office is in them at once.
Intuit and Sage, too
QuickBooks and other Intuit products, plus Sage: installs, updates, multi-user setups, licensing, and the file and database problems that tend to show up at the worst time.
Tax-season uptime
Upgrades and patching are scheduled around your deadlines, not in the middle of them. We watch your systems 24/7 from January through the extension deadlines, and a real person answers when something breaks.
The FTC Safeguards Rule and your WISP
Tax and accounting firms are required to keep a written information security plan, use multi-factor authentication and encrypt client data. We put those controls in place and document them, following the IRS guidance in Publication 4557.
Secure client file exchange
Encrypted email and secure file sharing, so returns, W-2s and bank statements don't travel as plain email attachments.
Remote access for busy season
Staff can work from home or a client's office with secure remote access to your tax and accounting systems, without exposing your servers to the internet.
The accounting-firm IT checklist, covered

Built around the Safeguards Rule and your professional obligations
For a tax or accounting firm, security isn't optional paperwork. The FTC Safeguards Rule requires a written information security plan, a named person responsible for it, multi-factor authentication, encryption of client data and regular risk reviews, and the IRS lays out the practical steps in Publication 4557. We build and document the technical side of that for you.
To be clear about what we are and aren't: Diversicom is your technology partner, not your compliance attorney or CPA. We implement and document the security controls, and your firm owns the plan and its policies.
