Whether you are newly established, part of a growing team or a long-established firm – ensuring that you have the right level of IT support is absolutely essential. What Issues can you face? Having the right infrastructure for your business is crucial. And with issues around COVID 19 highlighting just how much a sector can be disrupted, it is essential to have failsafes in place. Some commonplace problems include: Security: Any accountancy practice deals with extremely sensitive client information. This contains a mixture of personal details, professional and individual accounts, and much more. It is vital that these are stored securely and in a way that cannot be easily accessed through online intrusion, phishing tactics or both. This can result in significant damage to your professional reputation, fines from individual bodies, and clients and other significant issues. It is therefore vital that you safeguards in place. Compliance: With GDPR coming into force on 25th May 2018, this year sees us outside the grace period for infractions or issues. If personal data regulations are not followed, these can result in significant penalties. While these are seen as stringent, they will be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to future legislation. Having your physical and technical infrastructure set up in a way that allows your business to be reactive to change and growth is essential and the costs of doing it in reaction to change rather than through pre-planning are significant. Efficiency: Accountancy is an exacting and arduous process. While there may be processes and formulae in place, one of the biggest problems facing modern businesses is responding to volume – especially in the run up to tax deadlines or individual milestones for clients. Validating, storing and completing documentation for clients can take time and without a shared digital infrastructure, you can find it difficult to complete with larger – or even smaller and better equipped firms. Accuracy: Errors made in personal and professional accounts can be profound and far reaching. Individual typos can cause problems, forgotten forms creating logjams, and even dealing with quantities of client data can cause delays and end up costing you and your clients money. While workflow and error checking are essential, we’re only human and problems can quickly slip through the net. This can result in frustration and reputational loss at best and lost clients, additional expense at worst. Recovery: No business will be free of issues. From technical outs, hardware issues, any number of problems can happen and recovering from them can be extremely challenging. If your systems are down, getting back on your feet can be challenging. And time spent waiting for your system to come back up is wasted time for your employees, resulting in a logjam that can be impossible to shift without significant expenditure of resource and effort. Budget: While providing client care is essential, your business has to remain profitable. For many companies, there is a need to justify every expense and asset and no simple way to streamline your services. This can make it difficult to maintain the critical mass of staff you need, attract the best quality candidates with competitive salaries, and manage your marketing, accounts, and technical infrastructure. Thankfully, if your business has been affected by any of these issues, there is a potential solution that can help your business no matter its size or background – managed IT services What are managed IT Services?
