Managed IT Services For Tax Firms & Professionals

Running a tax preparation business means constantly dealing with complex data, shifting regulations, and tight deadlines—often across multiple systems. 

At Sigma Tax Pro, we help you develop a secure and reliable IT environment so your business can run smoothly. Our managed IT services for tax firms streamline your entire operation, supporting your critical software needs and making tax season more efficient and less stressful. 

Our Managed Services packages are comprehensive, and for Pro, Pro Plus, and Platinum customers they include line-of-business software, email, backup/cloud storage, Microsoft Office, and virtual servers, among other key items. Partnering with us across these IT services enables accounting firms to eliminate the cost and complication of maintaining an in-house IT department.

Access Your Tax Office From Any Device, Anywhere In The World

Imagine having full access to your tax office from any device, anywhere in the world. That’s the reality when you choose our packages.

Sigma Tax Pro provides professional tax software hosting on a secure virtual server that’s built for accessibility and productivity, and that delivers 99.9% uptime.

You and your team can simply log in from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone for full access to your tax software, whenever you need it—and without the anxiety of a crashing desktop, disruptive power outages, or unexpected IT issues. Our team is on hand to support everything you need to make your next tax season your most successful yet.

Whether your tax office takes advantage of bank products or prefers collecting prep fees up front, we offer two managed service plan groups for you to choose from:

Managed Service Plans For Bank Product Offices (Billed Annually)

Designed for tax offices that leverage bank products, this service provides a single, convenient annual fee paid after the tax season concludes. You’ll receive tailored IT support specifically for tax firms that integrates assistance for tax returns and the management of bank products within your Sigma Tax Pro software—so you get the help you need at every stage of your operations.
