IT Support for CPA & Accounting Firms

By accountants. For accountants.

Taking IT off your agenda

We didn’t learn accounting software from a manual — we grew up on it. 415 IT Group started inside 415 Group, one of Ohio’s top CPA firms, so when tax season gets loud, you’re calling people who already speak your language.

Fast service from people you know

When a login fails the morning e-filing opens, you don’t want a queue — you want a name you recognize. Our technicians are the same IT team 415 Group’s own accountants in Canton have relied on since 1995, so we already understand what’s riding on a missed deadline. We keep the tools your team already lives in — CCH and Thomson Reuters — patched, updated, and running under one predictable flat-rate plan, with enterprise-grade monitoring, cybersecurity, and cloud backup built in.

Built around how accounting firms actually work

The software, the deadlines, the confidentiality standards — we’ve lived them from the inside, not learned them from a support ticket.

Tax & Practice Software Support

We patch, update, and manage the infrastructure behind CCH and Thomson Reuters — the same platforms our own accountants run on. Problems inside the software itself still go through your CCH or Thomson Reuters support agreement.

Compliance-Ready Security

Safeguards built around the FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS Publication 4557, because our own firm has to meet the same requirements you do.

Busy-Season-Proof Support

No seasonal upsells or surprise surcharges every March and April. The same dedicated team, all year long.

Client Confidentiality by Default

We protect your client data with the exact same standards we use to protect our own firm’s — because for decades, it’s been the same firm.

An MSP built by accountants. For accountants.

415 IT Group didn’t start as a technology company that decided to court accounting clients. We started in 1995 as the in-house IT division of 415 Group, one of Ohio’s top CPA firms — built to keep our own accountants running through tight deadlines and tighter confidentiality rules. Three decades later, we’re still one company — 415 Group’s accountants in Canton, and our IT team a few miles up the road at our North Canton IT Campus. When we say we understand a CPA firm’s busy season, a K-1 deadline, or the scrutiny your client data has to survive, it’s because it’s ours too.

Questions CPA & accounting firms ask us

Do you support CCH and Thomson Reuters software?+

Yes, in the sense that matters most day to day: we keep both platforms patched, updated, and running on infrastructure we manage. What we don’t do is fix problems inside the software itself — if a report won’t calculate right or the general ledger won’t print, that’s still a call to your CCH or Thomson Reuters support line, not ours. We keep the platform running; the vendor’s own support handles what happens inside it.

Is 415 IT Group actually connected to a real CPA firm?+

Yes. We started in 1995 as the in-house IT division of 415 Group, one of Ohio’s top CPA firms, headquartered in Canton, Ohio. We’re still one company today, based at our own North Canton IT Campus a few miles away — and we still support those same accountants, we just also serve outside firms now.

What happens if something breaks during tax season?+

The same dedicated team you have all year responds — no seasonal upsells, no surge pricing, no unfamiliar faces during your busiest weeks.

Are you familiar with the FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS Publication 4557?+

Yes — our own firm has to meet the same requirements your firm does, so it’s built into how we operate, not sold as an add-on.

Do you only work with firms in Ohio?+

No — we’re headquartered at our North Canton IT Campus, but we support CPA and accounting firms remotely across the Eastern US. Tax software runs the same whether your office is down the street or three states away.
