Managed IT & Cybersecurity for CPA Firms in Middle Tennessee
Reliable IT support designed for accountants, tax season peaks, and secure client data.
Accounting firms run on deadlines, accuracy, and trust. Your technology needs to support that, not slow it down.
At Blankenship IT Solutions (BITS), we specialize in supporting CPA and accounting firms across Middle Tennessee with high-touch managed IT and proactive cybersecurity. We understand your workflow because we came from the accounting world. We know the pressure of tax season, audit deadlines, and the importance of keeping client data secure.
If your firm is tired of IT that only shows up after things break, you are in the right place.
The reality: accounting firms are high-value targets
CPA firms handle incredibly sensitive data: Social Security numbers, tax returns, payroll, bank information, investment records, and legal documentation.
That makes accounting firms a prime target for:
phishing and business email compromise
ransomware
vendor impersonation scams
account takeovers in Microsoft 365
unauthorized access to portals and file sharing platforms
One incident does not just cause downtime. It can damage reputation, disrupt client relationships, and create major liability.
We help you prevent the problems before they happen.
