My company has used Verito for several years now. We have expanded to 3 locations, all of which we use Verito at. The ability to work from anywhere is priceless. Anytime we have any questions, or issues they are handled very quickly. They have even gone above and beyond and helped with issues that weren't even theirs. Good luck finding that elsewhere.

As a one person tax practice I was looking for a dependable remote desktop - verito was referred on many tax professional forums. The price was right and I have been with them a few months now with zero issues - when I have questions, they are answered in the same day, usually in the same hour. Highly recommend.
