Managed IT Support For Accountants
Commercial Networks provides a full range of managed IT services and support for accountants throughout Staffordshire and Cheshire. Having spent over 10 years working with Accountants all over the UK we have the right skills and experience to assist your accountancy firm. No matter your requirements, either hardware, support, cloud technology or consultancy we at commercial networks are here to help you.
With the change in working recently we have more need to work from anywhere. This has often proved difficult for some accountants who are not set up to work this way. Sage tried to address this slightly by using products like sage cloud, but we all know there are advantages to Sage 50 or 200. We can assist with getting Sage environments running in the cloud or remote accessing on site servers away from the office.
Complex excel spreadsheets need to be collaborated on by multiple staff from different locations. We have delivered solutions using SharePoint and Teams to best store these documents and provide versioning and secure backups just in case a member of staff gets keyboard happy and deletes a sheet by accident. We have seen it all before, even the time the cat jumped on the laptop for warmth and the file disappeared!
