IT Support Built for Accounting Firms

Ceteris IT keeps small CPA and bookkeeping firms secure, compliant, and running — so you never lose a billable hour to a tech problem. 100% remote. Flat monthly pricing.

Sound familiar?

  • Tax season is stressful enough without email outages, slow computers, or QuickBooks crashing at the worst possible moment.

  • The IRS requires every tax preparer to have a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) — and a generic template won't protect you or your clients.

  • You don't have (and don't need) a full-time IT person. You need an expert on call who already understands how accounting firms work.

What we handle for you

  1. Managed IT Support
    Unlimited remote support for your team — Windows, email, printers, networks, and the day-to-day issues that eat up your time.

  2. Security & IRS Compliance
    WISP development, multi-factor authentication, encryption, and endpoint protection aligned with IRS Publication 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule.

  3. Backup & Disaster Recovery
    Automated, verified backups of your client files and QuickBooks data — tested regularly, so recovery is guaranteed, not assumed.

  4. Proactive Monitoring & Maintenance
    Patching, updates, and system health checks handled quietly in the background, before problems reach your desk.

Simple, flat-rate pricing

Why firms choose us

  • We speak accountant. We know tax season is sacred. All maintenance is scheduled around your deadlines, never during them.

  • Compliance is built in. IRS and FTC requirements aren't an afterthought — they're the foundation of how we set up your systems.

  • One flat fee. No surprises. No hourly billing games. You know exactly what IT costs every month.

  • Direct access to an engineer. No call centers, no ticket black holes. You talk to the person who actually fixes it.

About Ceteris IT

Ceteris IT was founded by Roger Y., a systems engineer with over a decade of experience managing servers, networks, and business-critical infrastructure. After years of watching small firms get ignored by big IT providers, he built Ceteris IT to give accounting practices the same level of protection large companies get — at a price that makes sense for a small firm.

"Ceteris paribus" — all else being equal — is the accountant's favorite Latin phrase. Ours too: with your IT handled, everything else stays equal, stable, and predictable.
