Common IT Challenges for Financial Firms & CPAs 

Financial firms and CPA offices face unique IT challenges that can impact client service, data security, and compliance.

Data Security and Regulatory Compliance: Financial firms handle highly sensitive client information and must comply with stringent regulations to keep that client data secure.

Downtime and System Reliability: Unplanned downtime can disrupt service delivery and impact client trust, needing 24/7 monitoring and quick responses to keep outages at bay.

Secure Access to Data: Financial professionals need secure, reliable access to client data, especially when working remotely.

Resource Constraints: Many financial firms and CPA offices have limited IT staff. This lack of resources can lead to inefficient service and security vulnerabilities.

Protection Against Cyber Threats: Cyber threats are a growing concern for financial firms, where data breaches can be particularly damaging, both to your reputation and to your finances.

CMT Surveying and Consulting has been working with CHR for some time now and the biggest benefit we have experienced is the sense of security that they provide. After we suffered from a ransomware attack, CHR was able to get us out of the situation quickly and efficiently. In addition to their exceptional security services, what sets them apart from other IT firms is the relationship we have with our account manager. CHR is knowledgeable about our IT and works closely with us to come up with a plan that meets our needs financially while still providing us with strong security measures. We have enjoyed working with the entire CHR team, from the owner to the techs. We feel they truly care about our company and our success.
