Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions CPA firms ask about moving to Microsoft Azure, cybersecurity, and working with InnerPC.
Yes. InnerPC can build and manage a secure Microsoft Azure cloud environment tailored to your accounting firm. We host leading applications such as Lacerte, UltraTax CS, CCH Axcess, Drake Tax, QuickBooks Desktop, and other essential business software.
Your applications, client files, and familiar desktop environment are centrally managed and accessible through a secure cloud desktop. InnerPC handles the infrastructure, configuration, software updates, backups, monitoring, and ongoing technical support, reducing your dependence on office-based servers.
Yes. Authorized employees can securely access their accounting applications, client files, email, and work desktop from virtually anywhere with a reliable internet connection. Your team receives a consistent work environment whether they are at the office, at home, traveling, or working from another location.
Access can be protected with multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. InnerPC can also quickly add or remove users, making it easier to onboard seasonal staff and support multiple offices without maintaining separate systems. InnerPC describes its service as providing anywhere access, fast seasonal-staff onboarding, and support for major accounting applications.
The timeline depends on the number of users, volume of data, applications being migrated, and complexity of your existing environment. A smaller firm may be ready within several business days, while a larger or more complex migration may require a few weeks.
Before migration begins, InnerPC reviews your applications, licenses, users, data, printers, integrations, and security requirements. We then create a migration plan, configure and test the new environment, and schedule the final transition during a low-impact period—often after hours or over a weekend. Your team is supported throughout the process to minimize disruption and confirm that critical applications and data are working correctly.
InnerPC uses a layered cybersecurity approach designed to reduce risk and protect sensitive financial and client information. Depending on your selected solution, protections may include:
- Multi-factor authentication
- Encryption for data in transit and at rest
- Role-based access controls
- Endpoint protection and threat detection
- Security monitoring and alerting
- Managed backups and recovery planning
- Software updates and security patching
- Email and phishing protection
- Employee security-awareness training
- Incident-response and business-continuity planning
Because security is an ongoing process, InnerPC also helps firms review access, monitor systems, address vulnerabilities, and adjust protections as their staff, technology, and threat environment change.
Yes. InnerPC can help your firm establish and maintain many of the technical and operational safeguards needed to support its FTC Safeguards Rule obligations. This may include risk assessments, written security policies, data and system inventories, multi-factor authentication, encryption, access controls, vulnerability management, employee training, service-provider reviews, incident-response planning, and supporting documentation.
The FTC requires covered organizations to maintain a written information security program containing administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Tax-preparation firms are specifically included among the types of organizations that may be covered. The FTC’s guidance explains the Rule’s requirements and the responsibilities that remain with each covered business.
InnerPC can provide technology, guidance, and documentation support, but no IT provider can independently guarantee legal compliance. Your firm remains responsible for its compliance program and should consult qualified legal or compliance counsel when necessary.
InnerPC specializes in the technology and security needs of accounting and CPA firms. Unlike a general IT provider, our team understands the applications your staff depends on, the sensitivity of financial information, demanding tax-season schedules, seasonal staffing, remote-work requirements, and the compliance pressures facing the profession.
That specialized experience allows InnerPC to troubleshoot accounting software more efficiently, plan migrations around critical deadlines, and recommend solutions that fit how your firm actually operates. We combine cloud hosting, cybersecurity, compliance support, backups, business continuity, and responsive technical assistance under one relationship. InnerPC also emphasizes personalized support, live assistance, 24/7 monitoring, and solutions designed around each client rather than forcing every firm into the same configuration.
