Managed IT support that keeps Chesterfield accountancy firms running.

From the town centre out to the railway station, Chesterfield supports a working community of manufacturing and healthcare firms. For accountancy firms in Chesterfield, managed IT support only earns its keep when year-end accounts production stops getting in the way. We bring managed IT support to Chesterfield, combining asset management and a UK helpdesk with a UK helpdesk that knows accountancy firms. In practice that means patch management, Microsoft 365 management and monitoring shaped around TaxCalc. Because accountancy firms live with Making Tax Digital and run FreeAgent, we make managed IT support fit those realities, not the other way round. No lock-in, no jargon, and data kept in the UK. We integrate with TaxCalc and the wider stack partners already use. Recovery from issues like sensitive client financial records is written down and tested, not assumed. Reviews cover client confidentiality and data retention, so the setup keeps pace with the business. We keep VAT return cycles resilient, so a bad day stays a small day for paraprofessionals.

IT Support for Accountants

What is managed IT support?

Understanding the difference between reactive break-fix and proactive managed IT - and why it matters for your accountants business.

Beyond break-fix

Managed IT support is a proactive approach to maintaining your business technology. Rather than waiting for something to break and then calling for help, a managed IT support provider continuously monitors, maintains and optimises your entire IT environment - preventing issues before they cause downtime, data loss or productivity drops.

With a managed IT support service, your accountants business gets access to a full team of qualified IT engineers, an IT helpdesk for day-to-day issues, scheduled maintenance to keep systems healthy, and strategic guidance to align your technology with your business goals - all for a predictable monthly cost.

Who is it for?

Managed IT support is ideal for accountants businesses that don't have a dedicated internal IT department, or businesses that want to supplement their existing IT staff with specialist expertise and overflow capacity. Outsourced IT support gives you the coverage and capability of an entire IT team at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house.

Whether you're a 10-person accountants office or a 200-person company, our IT support packages scale to match. We handle the technology so you can focus on running your business.

Our support plan

Proactive monitoring, security, maintenance and expert helpdesk support - everything your accountants business needs to run without IT headaches.

Ongoing performance monitoring of your devices to establish baselines, deliver alerts when business-critical services stop working and provide transparent accountability on network health. We monitor any number of critical processes depending on your chosen support package.

02

Managed Anti-Virus

Software and service inclusive security - real-time protection from malware, viruses, Trojans, spyware and rootkits. Through our console we identify and respond to threats in real time, often before you're aware of them and before they can spread across your network.

03

Patch Management

Microsoft operating system and Office application patches managed across your environment in accordance with your update policy. We maintain central records of device patch history, reducing interruptions and keeping your staff working at peak efficiency with up-to-date, secure systems.

Scheduled Maintenance

Helpdesk engineers available 8:30am to 6pm (UK time) via email, phone or web portal. Your dedicated team includes L1 engineers certified for desktop operating systems and L2 engineers fully certified for server, network and cloud platforms. All issues tracked and logged for consistent results.

06

Onsite Support

Whether you need infrequent on-demand visits or regular scheduled onsite presence, we tailor a support package to suit. Through our onsite management service we ensure peace of mind, increased staff productivity and enhanced IT performance across your business.

That spread of trades is part of what makes Chesterfield resilient.
