What You Get

What CPA Firms Get When IT
Meets the Same Standards They Do

CPA firms face FTC Safeguards obligations, AICPA peer review scrutiny, tax season pressure, and clients who trust them with their most sensitive financial data. Here's exactly what Gradius delivers for CPA practices across NJ, NY & CT.

📅
Zero-Downtime Through Every Filing Deadline
March 15, April 15, September 15, October 15 — every extension and every filing deadline on your calendar is protected. Our NOC monitors 24/7 and resolves issues proactively so your systems stay online when client deadlines are non-negotiable.
📋
FTC Safeguards Rule — WISP Built & Maintained
CPA firms handling nonpublic personal financial information are required to maintain a Written Information Security Program. Gradius builds your WISP, implements all required technical controls, conducts annual risk assessments, and keeps your compliance program current — not just at peer review time.
🔒
Client Financial Data Secured at Every Layer
Tax returns, financial statements, audit workpapers, and advisory files — encrypted at rest and in transit, protected by role-based access controls, endpoint security, and a 24/7 SOC so client data never falls into the wrong hands.
🔍
Peer Review–Ready IT Documentation
AICPA peer review increasingly scrutinizes firm technology practices — data security, access controls, backup procedures, and client confidentiality protections. Gradius maintains audit-ready documentation of your IT security program so peer review never surfaces an IT finding.
💻
Tax & Accounting Software Fully Supported
Drake Tax, CCH Axcess, Lacerte, UltraTax CS, ProSeries, ATX, QuickBooks, Sage, and other CPA software — supported, maintained, and kept running. Our engineers understand how these applications integrate with your infrastructure so issues get resolved fast.
💰
Flat-Rate IT — Per CPA, All-In
One predictable monthly rate per professional — covering help desk, monitoring, security, compliance, backup, and software support. No per-incident billing, no tax season surcharges, no surprise invoices when you're already deep in busy season.

Why CPA Firms Choose Gradius

IT That Understands What CPA Firms
Are Actually Accountable For

CPA firms carry professional obligations that go beyond ordinary businesses — FTC Safeguards compliance, AICPA ethical standards, state board licensing, and a fiduciary duty to client data. Gradius builds IT programs around those obligations.

📋
FTC Safeguards — Program Built, Maintained, Documented
We build your Written Information Security Program, implement all required technical controls, designate or support your Qualified Individual, conduct annual risk assessments, and maintain the documentation trail your firm needs to demonstrate compliance to regulators or during peer review.
🔍
Peer Review–Ready at All Times
AICPA peer reviewers are increasingly focused on firm technology practices. We maintain organized, current documentation of your security controls, access policies, backup procedures, and incident response protocols — so a peer review finding about IT is never a surprise.
📅
Tax Season SLA — Priority Through Every Deadline
March 15, April 15, September 15 — we apply elevated monitoring, increased NOC frequency, and priority response for CPA firm clients during every major filing period. Nothing goes down when your firm can't afford a delay.
💰
Per-CPA Flat-Rate — No Busy Season Surprises
One flat monthly rate per professional covers every service — help desk, security, monitoring, compliance, backup, and software support. No extra charges during tax season when your team is already stretched. IT costs your firm can plan around.

CPA firms, tax preparers, and other financial service providers that handle nonpublic personal information are required to maintain a Written Information Security Program under the FTC Safeguards Rule. Gradius builds your WISP, implements all required technical controls — encryption, multi-factor authentication, access controls, monitoring, and incident response — designates or supports your Qualified Individual, conducts annual risk assessments, and maintains current compliance documentation. We keep your program active and audit-ready on an ongoing basis, not just when a review is scheduled.
Yes. AICPA peer reviewers increasingly examine firm technology practices as part of quality control reviews — including data security policies, access controls for client files, backup and recovery procedures, and protection of nonpublic information. Gradius maintains organized, current documentation of all security controls, policies, and procedures in a format that satisfies peer review scrutiny. Firms that work with us don't get technology findings during peer review because the program is maintained continuously, not assembled at the last minute.
Yes. We support the full range of tax and accounting software used by NJ, NY & CT CPA firms — including Drake Tax, CCH Axcess and ProSystem fx, Lacerte, UltraTax CS, ProSeries, ATX, QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Sage, Xero, Bill.com, and practice management platforms. Our engineers understand how these applications interact with your infrastructure and network — so we troubleshoot efficiently and minimize disruption during busy season when your team can't afford delays.
Every CPA firm environment we manage is built with client data protection as the foundation — encrypted storage for all tax files, workpapers, and financial records; encrypted email and file transfer for client communications; multi-factor authentication on all accounts and remote access; role-based access controls so staff only access files relevant to their work; endpoint protection on every device; and comprehensive audit logging. For firms using cloud-based tax platforms, we configure and monitor security settings to meet both FTC Safeguards and AICPA standards.
No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your firm's choice. CPA firms stay with Gradius because compliance stays current, tax seasons run smoothly, and IT stops being a recurring source of problems. We earn the renewal every month through performance, not through contract terms.
