Network and firewall for accounting firms

A network you never have to think about

The network is the part of your office nobody looks at until it stops working. It is also where an attacker gets in if the firewall has not been updated since it was installed.

We design, install and manage office networks for small firms: a business firewall, separate Wi-Fi for guests, and a VPN so staff working from home connect safely.

What is included

Every item below is part of the service, documented, and shows up on your monthly report where it applies.

  • Managed FortiGate firewall with security subscriptions kept current
  • VPN for remote and seasonal staff, with MFA
  • Separate guest Wi-Fi so client devices never touch your network
  • Switches, access points and cabling for new or moved offices
  • Monitoring for outages and internet failover options

Why it is different for an accounting firm

Seasonal staff, handled

Many firms add preparers from January to April. We set up and remove their remote access on schedule so temporary accounts never linger.

Office moves without downtime

Moving offices? We plan the network, coordinate the ISP and have you working on day one.

Questions firms ask us

Do we really need a business firewall?

Yes. The router your internet provider supplied is not designed to protect client data, and it is one of the IRS Security Six.
