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.

01

Monitoring

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.

04

Scheduled Maintenance

Regular defragmentation, disk clean-ups, critical system log review, cache clean-ups and monitoring maintenance. Essential for a stable, optimised environment — reducing interruptions, maintaining performance and extending the life of your equipment to maximise your investment.

05

Remote Support

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.

07
