Accounting firms are prime targets for cybercriminals. You hold the keys to highly sensitive financial data—social security numbers, tax records, payroll, and banking credentials. Whether you’re a solo CPA or a growing multi-staff firm, cybersecurity is no longer optional. It’s a core part of client trust and compliance.
Cheshire Technologies provides specialized IT and cybersecurity solutions for CPAs and financial professionals throughout New Hampshire and New England. We help accounting firms secure their data, meet industry and state compliance standards, and stay protected year-round—especially during peak tax season.
PROTECTION FOR HIGH-VALUE DATA
CPAs and accounting professionals handle confidential client and business financial information. Our solutions are designed to lock it down with multi-layered defenses.
COMPLIANCE & DATA PRIVACY
We help you align with IRS Publication 4557, GLBA, state privacy regulations, and data retention requirements. Whether you’re preparing for an audit or implementing secure client portals, we keep you covered.
CONTINUITY DURING TAX SEASON
Downtime during tax season isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly. We implement secure backup, disaster recovery, and system monitoring to ensure you’re operating smoothly when it matters most.
TOOLS THAT ACTUALLY FIT YOUR FIRM
We support common platforms used by CPAs—QuickBooks, Lacerte, Drake, CCH, and others—and ensure they’re running in a secure, optimized environment. We also assist with remote access tools for secure work-from-anywhere setups.

Absolutely. We guide firms in meeting IRS Publication 4557, including written security plans, employee training, access controls, and breach response plans.

WHAT IF WE ONLY HAVE A FEW EMPLOYEES?

DO YOU HANDLE EMAIL SECURITY AND MFA?
