Technology has reached a point where it is nearly impossible for a CPA firm to keep up with regulations, security, ease of use, and reliability while staying within a reasonable budget. This is where the Xcentric Cloud enters the picture to help alleviate the IT burden commonly felt by CPA firms.
We focus solely on accounting firms - yes solely. We know your software, your associations, your deadlines... and are still investing in learning more about what makes a firm both tick and succeed in today's marketplace.
It doesn't matter what size firm you are, it's hard to provide the necessary protection for your business these days. Mounting regulations and threats can make one's head spin; however, there is a way your firm can provide the necessary security measures to keep your data safe. Our Cloud brings enterprise security features to your firm in a way that won't break your bank and will allow you to far surpass what you could manage and afford on your own.
With Xcentric's Cloud, we do regular maintenance and your application updates during off-hours as not to interfere with your workday. We are able to roll out updates much faster than on the typical in-house network because we do it simultaneously for all workstations via the Cloud instead of having to update each workstation individually.
How does your network travel? Access that is secure and reliable is key to your firm's culture in order to please an increasingly demanding client base. With our Cloud, we truly allow a CPA firm to go mobile while leaving nothing behind. Basically, you can access your network from any computer or supported device in the world, no matter the setting, with the same experience whether in the office or away.
Supported Devices
We know that up-time is crucial to your business and have built all of our systems with that in mind. We have redundancy at a variety of levels to ensure smooth operating is the norm. Does that mean technology somehow ceases to be technology and never breaks? No. We won't lie; technology still breaks. We haven't figured out how to beat the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. However, what we have done is to ensure all systems have redundancy and implement ways to reduce human error.
We do everything with the CPA in mind. This means being ready to scale for seasonal staff, office mergers, multiple locations, and stay-at-home moms. We have invested in a technology foundation so you don't have to- one that scales based on the needs of your firm. Back, forwards, or sideways, we are able to meet the needs your business has now and will have in the future.
Some cloud providers like to think that if they provide their clients a cloud it means their data is secure. We are not one of those providers. The cloud, with all its capabilities and security, is only as secure as the device that accesses it. This is why we provide end to end security for all of our cloud clients. These are some of the items we manage on behalf of our clients to help them reduce their risk, time and hassle on technology:

We know CPAs can keep some odd hours. Early early mornings and late late nights are the usual in this field. That said, we are staffed to accommodate your needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
