FAQs

FAQ

  • Do you support MYOB, Xero or HandiSoft?

    Yes. We support the full range of accounting and practice management platforms used by Melbourne firms — MYOB, Xero, HandiSoft, CCH iFirm, and others. We manage the infrastructure these platforms run on, ensure integrations between them are stable, and liaise with software vendors when application-level issues need escalation. For cloud-based platforms like Xero, we focus on securing access — multi-factor authentication, device management, and user access controls — so your client data stays protected even when staff work remotely.

  • How should we be storing and sharing client financial documents?

    Emailing sensitive financial documents as unencrypted attachments is a significant security and professional risk. We set up secure client portals or encrypted document sharing systems — typically through Microsoft SharePoint or a dedicated client portal platform — where documents can be shared with clients and stored safely. Access is controlled, every action is logged, and documents can be revoked instantly if needed. This approach also creates a cleaner audit trail of what was shared with whom and when.

  • Can you help us with secure work-from-home access for our accountants?

    Yes. Secure remote access for accounting staff is one of the most common things we set up. We implement VPN or Microsoft Azure-based remote desktop solutions that give your staff the same secure access to client files and accounting software from home as they'd have in the office — without the security risks that come with staff using personal devices and home networks without proper controls. We also manage the devices themselves to ensure they meet your firm's security standards.

  • How do we protect client data from ransomware?

    Ransomware attacks on accounting firms are increasingly common because your data is valuable and often poorly protected. The key defences are: reliable offsite backups (so you can restore without paying a ransom), endpoint protection on all devices, email filtering to block malicious attachments and links, multi-factor authentication on all accounts, and staff awareness training. We implement all of these as part of our managed IT service. If you're ever hit despite these protections, we have an incident response process to contain the damage, restore from backup, and get you operational again as quickly as possible.
