Who we help
Small offices that hold big responsibilities.
We work with tax preparers, enrolled agents and bookkeepers who prepare returns: offices of up to 15 people that handle sensitive client data every day, usually without a full-time IT person.
These offices are busy, especially from January to April. They know they need MFA, backups and a written security plan. What they don't have is the time to work out the settings, make the changes and write it all down. That's the gap we fill.
We're fully remote. We work by video call, screen-share, email and shared documents, so we can help offices anywhere in the United States.
Our mission
Make solid security normal for small tax offices, and make it simple to show.
Good security shouldn't need a big IT budget or a stack of jargon. We want every small office we work with to have the basics properly in place, a plan that matches reality, and a clear record of both.
Veteran-owned
A veteran-owned business.
Assurbyte is veteran-owned. Here's what that means for how we work.
Clear scope, up front
A written scope before any paid work starts: what we'll do, what we won't and what it costs.
Do what we said
We make the changes we agreed, document them and report back plainly.
Leave it better
Stronger settings, a plan that matches your office and a record you can rely on.
Honest scope
What we do, and what we don't.
