IT managed service provider for accountancy firms, without the downtime or jargon.

Picture a Monday morning where payroll clerks cannot access Dext and IT managed service provider is suddenly urgent. Because accountancy firms handle sensitive work through QuickBooks Online, IT managed service provider and ICAEW go hand in hand. Cloudswitched maps IT managed service provider onto your payroll runs, then secures Xero and documents it for HMRC. In practice that means asset management, remote monitoring and management and monitoring tuned to how payroll clerks work. Everything is documented, monitored and reported, so tax managers can see what good looks like. You keep ownership of your data and your QuickBooks Online; we just make it work.

Managed IT Service Provider in the UK for Accountants

Built around Xero

A named UK team learns your client onboarding portals and the rhythm of sensitive client financial records, then answers properly when tax managers call. No script-reading first line to fight through.

Evidence for audits

Costs are fixed and transparent, sized for accountancy firms rather than enterprise budgets. You can plan IT spend around IT managed service provider with no surprises on the invoice.

Built-in resilience

We document the lot, from Dext and access rights through to recovery steps. Audits, insurer questions and staff handovers all stay calm as a result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recovery paths are written down and tested in advance, not assumed on the day. When issues like quarterly VAT deadlines strike, we work to agreed recovery objectives, keep bookkeepers informed at every step, and bring Dext and the self-assessment workflows behind it back online in a known, documented order.

That is exactly what the roadmap is for. We review data retention and client confidentiality regularly, so IT managed service provider scales as your accountancy firms take on more payroll clerks, more clients and heavier demands, rather than becoming the bottleneck that holds the business back just as things start to take off.

Yes. We map controls for IT managed service provider to AML regulations and document them as part of the build, which is what auditors, insurers and larger clients increasingly expect from accountancy firms. The evidence stays current, so a compliance request becomes a quick export rather than a fortnight of scrambling.

We start by mapping payroll runs and watching how paraprofessionals actually use FreeAgent day to day, then layer IT managed service provider on top without disruption. The aim is to monitor the work you already do, keep your familiar tools, and avoid the cost and risk of an unnecessary rebuild.
