Tax and accounting firms face rising pressure to deliver secure, efficient, and accurate client services—especially during tax season. With remote work becoming the norm and regulations growing more complex, tax software hosting on the cloud has emerged as a strategic advantage. This post explores the best hosting solutions and why Verito is trusted by firms nationwide.
Why Tax Software Hosting Matters
What is tax software hosting, and why is it important?
Tax software hosting enables your team to access key applications—like Drake, Lacerte, or ProSeries—from anywhere with enterprise-grade security and performance. Instead of relying on outdated in-house servers, cloud hosting offers:
- Anytime, Anywhere Access via secure remote connections
- End-to-End Encryption and SOC 2 Type II compliance
- On-Demand Scalability for peak seasons
- Flat-Rate Pricing with no surprise IT costs
“We used to live in fear of our server going down just before a deadline.” — CPA, 5-person firm
