IT support for accounting firms and bookkeepers.
Practice-focused IT support for accounting firms — Xero, MYOB, Sage and Reckon stacks; secure file sharing for client data; Microsoft 365 hardening; and ATO-aware compliance baked in.
Why accounting firms choose Chewing IT
Accounting firms hold their clients' tax file numbers, bank-feed credentials, trust ledgers and BAS workings. The cyber risk concentration is enormous, and the ATO and TPB increasingly expect demonstrable IT controls.
Chewing IT supports accounting practices and bookkeepers across NSW with hardened Microsoft 365 tenants, secure client-portal workflows, and the cyber-security stack that aligns with TPB ethical-obligation expectations and the ATO's online services security guidance.
IT challenges accounting firms face
The recurring patterns we see — and the ones that shape how we set up your environment.
Client data protection and TFNs
Tax file numbers, bank statements and trust-account data are gold for attackers. We treat practice file servers and Microsoft 365 mailboxes accordingly.
Practice-management software integrations
Xero Practice Manager, MYOB AE, Sage HandiSoft, Reckon APS — each with its own SSO, API and integration footprint. We make them play nicely with Microsoft 365 and your file-sharing stack.
BEC and invoice-fraud attempts
Accounting inboxes are a primary target for business email compromise. We deploy email security, MFA and user-awareness training tuned to the threats your team actually receives.
What we deliver for accounting firms
The components we tailor to your sector. Each links through to the underlying solution.
Microsoft 365 hardening for practice
MFA, conditional access, anti-phishing rules, mailbox audit logging and DLP — configured to TPB and ATO expectations.
Microsoft 365Secure client file sharing
Client portals or SharePoint document sites with access controls and audit trails — better than PDF-by-email, defensible during an audit.
Microsoft 365Cyber security and MDR
Endpoint protection plus 24/7 managed detection and response watching for credential theft, ransomware and BEC patterns.
Cyber SecurityBackup of practice data
Daily, versioned backups of practice servers and Microsoft 365 mailboxes — recoverable in hours, not days.

Setup, licensing, security & support.
Most businesses pay for Microsoft 365 but use a tiny fraction of what they're paying for. We license, configure, secure and support the whole platform — Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune and Entra — so you actually get the value.

24/7 protection, monitoring & response.
A layered, modern security stack built for small and medium businesses. We combine endpoint protection, application allow-listing, identity hardening and 24/7 managed detection & response — so threats are spotted, isolated and neutralised before they spread.
