Accounting & Tax Firms
IT Support for Accounting & Tax Firms in Staten Island & NYC
Comserv Connect protects the sensitive financial data accounting and tax firms are trusted with - FTC Safeguards-grade controls, secure access to your tax and accounting platforms, and the uptime that survives filing season. Based at 1110 South Avenue on Staten Island, we serve CPA and accounting firms across NY and NJ.
The Challenges
What Accounting & Tax Firms Are Up Against
The compliance and technology pressures your industry feels, and where unmanaged IT leaves you exposed.
Client financial data is exactly what attackers want
Tax returns, bank details, and Social Security numbers are high-value targets, and the IRS now requires tax professionals to maintain a written information security plan. A breach is both a client-trust catastrophe and a regulatory problem.
Clients and partners increasingly demand FTC Safeguards-grade controls
Enterprise clients and diligence reviews ask for documented security - monitoring, access control, incident response - and a firm that can't produce evidence loses engagements to one that can.
Tax season is a single point of failure
From January to April, downtime is measured in missed deadlines and penalties, not inconvenience. Aging servers, unpatched tax software, and untested backups are risks the busy season won't forgive.
Everyone has access to everything
Small firms often run flat networks and shared logins with no multi-factor authentication, so one compromised credential exposes every client's financials at once.
How We Help
How Comserv Helps Accounting & Tax Firms
One provider for managed IT, cybersecurity, and AI, with the specific controls your industry actually needs.
CIS Controls v8- and NIST-mapped security
A security stack built for scrutiny: 24/7 SOC monitoring, EDR on every endpoint, zero-trust application allowlisting, and NIST-based risk assessments with a full policy-template library - mapped to the FTC Safeguards Rule so you can answer a due-diligence questionnaire with evidence instead of promises.
Secure hosting & access for tax platforms
Hardened, monitored environments for your accounting and tax applications, with multi-factor authentication and access controls that replace shared logins - so a single stolen password no longer exposes every client file.
Tax-season uptime & proactive maintenance
24/7 remote monitoring that catches failing hardware before it fails, with patching and maintenance scheduled around filing deadlines instead of on top of them, so the busy season never stalls on IT.
Microsoft 365 email security & staff training
Microsoft 365 mail-flow protection against the phishing and invoice-fraud emails aimed at firms that move client money, plus security awareness training with phishing simulations for the staff who handle sensitive filings.
Tested backup & disaster recovery
Encrypted, off-site backups separated from your production network so ransomware can't reach them, with regularly tested restores - so a bad day in March never becomes a business-ending one.
