IT for professional services
When you bill by the hour, downtime is lost revenue.
Email outages, files that will not sync and a VPN that keeps dropping all come out of billable time. Talos keeps your firm's systems up and your clients' information private.
The short answer
Talos provides managed IT for accounting, consulting and advisory firms. We keep systems available with proactive monitoring, automated patching and quick response, protect client files with encrypted sharing, email security and access controls, manage Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, QuickBooks and your CRM as one setup, and give staff secure access from the office, client sites or home.
Who it's for
The IT problems professional firms run into
Our team has supported Houston professional services firms since 2014. These are the usual suspects.
Downtime eats billable hours
When email stops, files will not sync or the VPN drops, the lost minutes come straight off the invoice.
Client confidentiality
Accounting, consulting and advisory firms hold client financials and strategy, and a breach means malpractice exposure and lost clients.
Too many tools
QuickBooks, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Slack and Zoom only help if they work together. Otherwise data falls through the gaps.
Hybrid work
People work from home, client offices and co-working spaces and need secure access without calling IT every day.
