Common IT Challenges for CPAs
Data Security and Privacy:
CPAs handle sensitive financial data, which makes data security a top priority.
With increasing threats of cyberattacks, having strong defenses in place is
essential.
Regulatory Compliance:
Staying compliant with regulatory bodies like the IRS, FINRA, and SEC can be
complex, but necessary to avoid hefty fines or penalties.
Software Optimization and
Compatibility: Ensuring that accounting software like QuickBooks, Sage, or
Thomson Reuters operates smoothly with your network is critical for
uninterrupted productivity.
Remote Work Capabilities:
CPAs often need secure remote access to work from home or on-the-go. Having
reliable and secure remote desktop solutions is vital in today's flexible work
environment.
System Downtime and Recovery:
System crashes or downtime during tax season or audit deadlines can be
catastrophic. Ensuring backup and recovery plans are in place minimizes risks.
