Security, Compliance & Operational Stability. Owned by One Partner

Accounting firms depend on uptime, data integrity, and regulatory compliance. When technology fails, deadlines slip, audits become stressful, and client trust erodes.

Safebox Technology delivers managed IT services for accounting and CPA firms through Safebox 360. A unified operating platform that stabilizes operations, protects sensitive financial data, and removes vendor chaos.

Why accounting firms require specialized IT support​

CPA and accounting firms operate under strict regulatory and operational pressure:

  • FTC Safeguards Rule compliance
  • GLBA data protection requirements
  • IRS Publication 4557 cybersecurity guidance
  • Secure handling of tax records and financial documents
  • Multi-factor authentication requirements
  • Secure client portals and remote work access

Unlike generic businesses, accounting firms face:

  • High-volume seasonal workloads (tax season stress)
  • Extremely sensitive client financial data
  • Aggressive phishing and ransomware targeting
  • Audit and insurance scrutiny

Traditional IT support is not built for that risk profile.

Safebox 360 replaces fragmented IT vendors with one accountable operating platform.

With Safebox 360 in place, accounting firms experience:

Fewer tax-season disruptions

What does managed IT cost for accounting firms?

Safebox 360 is priced as a predictable monthly platform.

While every environment is different:

  • Smaller CPA firms typically invest in the low-thousands per month
  • 30–75 employee firms typically fall in the mid-thousands per month
  • Pricing scales based on users, compliance requirements, and system complexity

Exact pricing is determined through an operational risk review.

Who Safebox 360 is built for

Safebox works best for accounting firms that:

  • Operate with 20–200 employees
  • Handle sensitive client financial data
  • Face regulatory and insurance scrutiny
  • Cannot tolerate extended downtime
  • Want predictable IT costs and clear accountability

If technology failure would materially impact your firm, Safebox 360 fits.

Why accounting firms choose Safebox Technology

Most IT providers respond to problems.

Safebox prevents them.

  • We own the entire technology layer
  • We eliminate vendor finger-pointing
  • We engineer stability before peak season
  • We provide structured compliance alignment
  • We deliver predictable cost and clear ownership

Safebox is not who you call when tech breaks.

We’re who you trust when deadlines cannot slip.

In-House IT vs Managed IT for CPA Firms

Many accounting firms rely on one internal IT generalist.

That model creates risk:

  • Knowledge concentrated in one person
  • Limited 24×7 coverage
  • Security responsibilities handled “when there’s time”
  • Burnout during peak periods

Safebox 360 replaces fragmented ownership with a structured platform.

For 30–75 employee accounting firms, Safebox 360 Core typically costs less than a fully loaded internal IT hire, while delivering:

  • 24×7 coverage
  • Security operations
  • Vendor management
  • Predictable monthly cost
  • Reduced key-person risk

The difference isn’t just cost.

It’s accountability and resilience.

FAQs

What IT compliance requirements apply to CPA firms?

CPA firms must follow FTC Safeguards Rule requirements under GLBA, secure client data per IRS Publication 4557, enforce MFA, maintain documented backups, and implement written information security programs.

Through layered cybersecurity controls including endpoint protection, email security, encryption, secure access controls, monitoring, and verified backups.

For most firms under 75 employees, outsourced managed IT provides broader expertise, 24×7 coverage, and lower operational risk than relying on a single internal resource.

Yes. Safebox 360 often removes infrastructure and security burden so internal teams can focus on firm-specific initiatives.

During tax season, downtime is not an inconvenience. It’s revenue loss.

Safebox 360 provides:

  • Unlimited support
  • 15-minute response time
  • Dedicated support engineer
  • Dedicated client success manager

 

You don’t wait in a queue when filing deadlines are approaching.
