We speak accountancy, not just IT
Good IT support is good IT support, and every client gets the same care. But an accountancy practice isn't just any office. You're anti-money-laundering supervised, you hold years of sensitive client records, and your busiest month can make or break the year. We understand that, because practices like yours are a big part of who we look after.
Software you actually run
IRIS, CCH, Sage, TaxCalc, Digita, Capium, Xero, QuickBooks, BrightPay, HMRC agent services, we know how they behave and how to keep them fast at peak.
Compliance you answer to
ICAEW, ACCA and AAT expectations, UK GDPR, AML data-handling and Cyber Essentials, IT set up to support your obligations, not work against them.
The January reality
Systems failing during self-assessment season is a genuine fear. We design backups and support so the busiest month isn't the riskiest one.
Client data, protected
You hold exactly the kind of financial data criminals want. We harden email, devices, backups and even how documents are scanned and printed against ransomware and invoice fraud.
Off ageing servers, safely
Moving from an old on-prem server to Microsoft 365 and the cloud, without losing data or disrupting client work, is one of our most common projects.
Secure remote & hybrid
Staff handling confidential records from home, done properly: the right access controls, multi-factor authentication and device security.

Common questions
Do you only work with accountancy practices?
It's who we specialise in. We spend our days inside practices like yours, so we already understand IRIS, CCH, Sage, TaxCalc, Xero, QuickBooks, HMRC agent services and the pressure of the January self-assessment peak, there's no learning curve on your time.
We already have someone who does our IT. Why switch?
Plenty of practices come to us when their current IT starts to creak, usually around growth, a security scare, or a partner retiring. A free Health Check is a no-obligation way to see whether your current setup is genuinely protecting your client data and your record-retention obligations.
Is the Practice IT Health Check really free?
Yes. It's a 15 to 20 minute, plain-English review of your backups, security, compliance gaps and cloud-readiness. You get an honest view of where you're exposed and what to prioritise. It is genuinely useful advice, not a disguised sales pitch.
Where are you based and who do you cover?
We're based in Ruthin, Denbighshire, and we look after practices across North Wales, including Ruthin, Denbigh, Mold, Wrexham, Rhyl, Prestatyn, St Asaph, Llangollen and the surrounding towns.
What does it cost to work with you?
Managed IT support is a simple, predictable price per user, per month, with no surprise bills. We publish clear pricing guidance so you can budget, see our pricing page for what's included.
