I like that Verito meets all the requirements for WISP and is secure to access. It was one phone call and everything was setup

What Our Clients Say – Trusted by Accounting & Tax Firms Nationwide

Verito has been a lifesaver for my firm. The ease of use and security have been game changers. The two times I've had issues/questions (which should honestly tell you how great it is, that I haven't had any more problems with it), their customer service has been responsive, helpful, and solved my problems quickly. I use Verito daily for work and appreciate the peace of mind it gives me that my software and client data is secure. I should also mention I run it off a Mac (which I know is a no-no in the accounting/finance world, but as they say, once you go Mac, you don't go back). The integration and ease of use running it off a Remote Desktop has been fantastic.

Verito is amazing when it comes to customer service. There are times when it is not been 15 minutes from the time I send an email with my issue and my issue being resolved. This comes in very handy in the heavy tax season. The firm and I use Verito every day and the security features are great, it is easy to manage.

The data security Verito provides is immense; it ensures my tax data is secure, eliminating worries about hackers, natural disasters, or computer crashes, offering immense peace of mind. Trust in the honesty of Verito's approach was initially a significant factor for me, as they didn't pressure me with vague pricing increases. Additionally, I love how using Verito has enabled me to transition to a paperless operation, contributing positively to the environment. I truly enjoy having a reliable virtual server, which is crucial for hosting my tax software, and it has minimized my technological and security concerns. The seamless experience with Verito gives me complete confidence in recommending it, reflected in my top rating of 10 out of 10.

I have found Verito's cloud-based infrastructure to be incredibly beneficial, as it means I don't have to worry about maintaining any software or dealing with security requirements. The smooth and effortless setup process was facilitated by a Verito representative who helped migrate all my services to their cloud, making the transition seamless. Additionally, Verito's customer service is outstanding. Whenever I need assistance, they answer immediately, leaving me with no wait time, which fits perfectly with my business needs. Their focus on accounting-specific features and competitive pricing compared to other vendors was a significant factor in my decision to switch to Verito. This comprehensive support and efficiency make Verito an ideal solution for my work as an accountant.
