Benefits of Outsourcing IT Services and Support for Accounting Firms
One in every few accounting firms in the South India takes advantage of outsourced IT services and support. As a financial professional, you know how important it is for an accounting firm to invest in its people—not only when it comes to providing them with training and education opportunities but also by giving them the tools they need to do their jobs. A good accounting firm will provide its professionals with quality computers, software, and a range of other equipment, but it’s also essential that those hardware resources are managed properly. Technology is constantly evolving, which means you’ll have to upgrade your office equipment regularly. This can be an expensive proposition for accounting firms that don’t have in-house resources to purchase and maintain technology effectively.
Outsourcing IT is becoming more popular for companies of all sizes because it provides many benefits. Benefits of outsourcing include:
- A reduction in the cost of doing business.
- Increased ability to focus on core competencies;
- Improved efficiency through economies of scale. When outsourced, administrative tasks are handled by a specialist third party rather than your employees, so your own staff can concentrate on important projects that create value for your company.
- Access to new, efficient technology solutions without needing to develop or maintain them yourself.
- Tapping into new skills and capabilities that may not be available within your organization is another advantage of outsourcing IT services.
- If an organization decides to get new software licenses/maintenance contracts, long lead times are usually involved depending on many factors. It might take months or even years if they decide to do it themselves. By outsourcing, you can access this technology immediately and also have the opportunity to negotiate lower rates since significant volume is involved.
- Many times 3rd party support will include proactive, fast response times so your downtime is minimized and productivity increased.

Security is key in choosing your IT support partner and more so in the accounting industry. One of our main goals is to protect our client’s network from any cybersecurity threats. Our team of professionals that are based in the South India provides security monitoring for all endpoints. As part of the cybersecurity consultancy package, Atulit provides monitoring for all Windows endpoints.
We use business-grade Antivirus and DNS firewalls to harden our clients’ platforms, manage systems, and centralize the monitoring of all endpoint devices. We continuously monitor and manage installations of security patches in your firm’s operating systems and applications.
Our premium-quality security system also monitors the security of next-gen and cloud-hosted firewalls. We use a proactive approach to ensuring security to anticipate challenges and prevent the execution of threats that disrupt firm operations and lead to extra costs.
Enhance the Efficiency of Accounting Systems with our IT Support
Accounting firms use accounting software to streamline the financials of the business. Accountants are now using cloud-hosted solutions such as Sage Online, Xero, IRIS, and Quickbooks. They have largely shifted from the practice of using on-premise servers, which comes with the hassle of server security, hardware management, and software updates.
Although cloud accounting platforms require minimal management, having an IT support service is important because it caters to your endpoint devices. Endpoint devices have access to the accounting systems and crucial financial data, so you need to have the device’s security reinforced and updated. We also provide managed backups that are fully GDPR compliant with strong cyber security capabilities that ensure 100% confidentiality of all information stored on our servers or transferred across networks through highly encrypted channels.
Managed Network Infrastructure Service
The accounts program that accountancy firms use automates processes, but the software is only efficient if the hardware and software that make up the network’s infrastructure are running smoothly.

There is not one set cost for our IT support services for accountants and bookkeepers. The cost of our support is calculated based on many different variables, ensuring great value for money for all businesses. This bespoke approach will determine the cost based on the size of the business, the support hours required, what current IT you have in place and therefore what services are required.
WHY DO ACCOUNTANCY AND BOOKKEEPING COMPANIES REQUIRE IT SUPPORT?
All modern accountancy and bookkeeping companies heavily rely on computers for most of the day-to-day running of their businesses. In the absence of professional IT support, you will not have access to skilled technical support when questions arise from your team, and it is unlikely you’ll have knowledge of the latest technology, which has been proven to significantly increase productivity. But moreover, having an IT solution which is backed up and secure from cyber threat is key to the smooth running of a company.

Given that the IT solutions we offer to our clients are cloud-based, all our engineers can access any device remotely, and so there is not often a need for onsite support. However, we know some companies may at times require face-to-face support, so this is also an offering to businesses which want this.
