Q & A

How Can Our Accounting Firm Secure Remote Access for Staff Without Risking Client Data?

CPA firms often allow remote desktop connections, but unsecured sessions can leave client data exposed to cyberattacks. To protect sensitive financial data and prevent breaches, firms should implement secure remote access with multi-factor authentication (MFA), session timeout controls, and encrypted VPN connections. At CD Technology, we help accounting firms deploy secure, compliant remote access systems that protect both client trust and firm reputation.

What’s the Best Way for Accounting Firms to Share Files Securely With Clients and Prospects?

Emailing sensitive financial documents is a major risk for accounting firms. Instead, firms should use secure file-sharing portals like OneDrive with enhanced security or specialized platforms like Canopy or Firm360. These tools offer encryption, access controls, and audit trails. CD Technology helps CPA firms implement secure file-sharing solutions that cover both clients and prospects—keeping your data protected and your communications compliant.

How Can We Ensure Our Accounting Firm’s Data is Accessible Without VPN Downtime?

Many accounting firms rely on VPNs for data access, but when VPNs fail, productivity suffers—especially during tax season. The solution? Cloud data management and hybrid storage solutions that allow secure, always-on access from any location. CD Technology designs reliable, cloud-based data access systems for CPA firms, eliminating VPN headaches and ensuring your staff can work efficiently, whether in-office or remote.

How Do We Limit File Access and Prevent Unauthorized Changes in Our Firm’s Shared Drive?

Accountants need to control who can view, move, or delete sensitive files. Implementing role-based access control (RBAC), audit logs, and file permission policies ensures data integrity and compliance. At CD Technology, we help firms create structured, secure file systems that minimize internal risks while maximizing accountability.

Why Should Our CPA Firm Automate Routine Tasks Like Data Entry and Reconciliation?

Automation saves time and reduces errors in tasks like bank reconciliation, invoice processing, and data entry. Tools like Hubdoc and Dext streamline these functions, allowing your firm to focus on higher-value advisory services. CD Technology helps CPA firms implement secure automation tools to improve efficiency while keeping compliance and cybersecurity top of mind.

How Can Our Accounting Firm Get IT Support Without Delays During Tax Season?

Waiting on slow IT responses can derail productivity—especially during busy season. CD Technology provides 24/7 responsive IT support tailored for CPA firms, including proactive monitoring, remote support, and fast issue resolution. Our team ensures your systems stay up and your staff stays productive—when it matters most.
