Frequently Asked Questions

These FAQs help professional services firms understand how managed IT services improve security, productivity, and business performance.

Why do professional service firms outsource IT?

Professional service firms outsource IT to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) because they need reliable and secure tech without the cost and complexity of running an internal IT department. Outsourcing allows firms to focus on client work rather than IT issues. Across all professional service firms, outsourcing IT reduces downtime, strengthens cybersecurity against phishing, ransomware and data breaches, ensures proactive monitoring and maintenance of systems, and supports scalability as the business grows or changes.

The reasons also vary slightly by firm type:

Accounting & financial advisory firms
- Need secure handling of sensitive financial and client data
- Require secure systems during peak periods such as tax time and reporting cycles
- Depend on integrations with accounting platforms and cloud document systems
Legal firms
- Must maintain strict confidentiality and data security
- Require secure document management and controlled access to case files
- Face strict compliance and regulatory expectations
HR, recruitment & consulting firms
- Manage large volumes of personal and financial data
- Rely heavily on cloud collaboration tools and remote access
- Need scalable systems that support changing headcount and contractors
- Require efficient onboarding and offboarding
Marketing, creative & digital agencies
- Depend on high-performance cloud tools for collaboration and file sharing
- Need flexible systems that support remote and hybrid teams
- Often work with large files that require reliable storage and backups
Architecture, engineering & construction-related firms
- Work with large, complex design files that require stable infrastructure
- Require integration with speciality software like Revit, AutoCAD, and more
- Need secure project documentation across teams and clients
- Depend on collaboration between multiple stakeholders and locations

What industries do you specialise in?

We have helped many professional services firms, like HR and accounting consultancies, financial advisers, legal practices, real estate agencies, marketing agencies, architects, and more. We also specialise in medical and dental IT support. Our solutions are designed around each industry’s operational requirements, compliance obligations, cybersecurity risks and software platforms.

What is the cost of managed IT services?

The cost of managed IT services depends on the size and complexity of your business. At Teamwork Technology, we provide a tailored quote based on your needs, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. We can start off with a no-obligation IT health check to help you understand the vulnerabilities in your IT system and where you need the most help. Contact us today to get started.

Do you provide on-site support?

Yes. With offices in Melbourne, Sydney, and the Gold Coast, our team provides on-site support throughout Australia for project work and complex technical issues that need a physical presence.

Do you provide after-hours support?

Yes, our dedicated support team resolves problems quickly, even after hours, to minimise disruption and keep your operations running without interruption.

What cybersecurity controls are recommended for professional service firms?

Professional service firms are frequent targets for cybercriminals because they store sensitive client information, financial records and confidential documents. A layered cybersecurity strategy that aligns with the Australian Privacy Act (1988) and Essential Eight framework is ideal.

Recommended controls include multi-factor authentication (MFA), endpoint detection and response (EDR), Microsoft 365 security configuration, email monitoring, regular security patching, encrypted backups, least-privilege access, password policies, security awareness training and continuous monitoring.

What backup policies are recommended?

Professional service firms should maintain at least three copies of business data, store them on two different types of media, and keep one copy off-site or immutable. Backups should run automatically, be encrypted, monitored and tested regularly to confirm data can be successfully restored. Critical systems such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint, cloud servers and line-of-business applications should all be included in the backup strategy. The disaster recovery strategy at Teamwork Technology ensures you have reliable backups for accidental deletion, hardware or software failure or a cyberattack.

What IT support do accounting firms need?

Accounting firms require IT systems that are secure and reliable during peak periods such as tax time and end-of-financial-year reporting. Downtime during these periods can directly affect client service and revenue. Typical IT support includes:

Integration with accounting platforms or practice management systems like Xero, MYOBS, QuickBooks Online, Karbon, TaxDome or Canopy
Workflow, document management, and communication software support, such as Microsoft 365
Cloud infrastructure setup and management
Cybersecurity services
Secure remote access
Backup and disaster recovery strategies
Network management

Can you support multi-office firms?

Yes. We support organisations operating across multiple offices, interstate locations and remote workforces. Our team can standardise IT systems across every location, securely connect offices, manage cloud infrastructure, and provide centralised monitoring regardless of where employees are located. This ensures all staff have secure access to the workflow, systems, and files while maintaining consistent cybersecurity.

How do you minimise downtime for billable staff?

For professional service firms, every minute of downtime results in lost productivity, delayed projects and reduced billable hours. We minimise disruption through proactive monitoring, preventative maintenance, and rapid support.

How quickly can you respond to IT support requests?

When you call us with a support request, you are connected directly to a technician. We don’t make you wait for a help desk or ticketing queue. For emergencies, we prioritise immediate remote support to get your operations back up and running fast. Our average resolution time is 55 minutes, helping minimise disruption and downtime across your workflow.

Do you support hybrid work environments?

Yes. We help professional service firms create secure hybrid work environments that allow employees to work effectively from the office, home or client sites. This includes secure remote access, Microsoft 365 collaboration, SharePoint document management, Azure setup and management, cloud-based infrastructure, and device management.

How do I know if my firm's IT systems are outdated or inefficient?

If IT issues are constantly distracting or interrupting your team, your systems are likely holding the business back. Common signs include frequent downtime, slow file access, and staff relying on workarounds (like emailing files instead of using shared systems). You may also notice inconsistent backups, security gaps, or tools that don’t integrate properly (e.g. Microsoft 365, document management, or cloud systems lagging).

What should I look for when choosing an IT provider for a professional services firm?

Look for a provider that understands professional services workflows, especially document-heavy, compliance-driven environments like accounting, financial consulting, or architecture. Key things to look for are:

Experience with Microsoft 365, Azure, SharePoint, and cloud environments
Strong cybersecurity and compliance capabilities
Proactive monitoring and support (not just reactive fixes)
Clear onboarding and migration process for new clients
Ability to scale IT support as your firm grows

What's the difference between break-fix IT support and a managed services provider?

Break-fix IT support is reactive. You contact the provider when something breaks, and you’re billed according to the issue. This often leads to downtime, unpredictable costs, and recurring problems. A proactive approach monitors and maintains your systems continuously, prevents issues before they occur, and provides ongoing strategic support. It offers more predictable costs and more stable IT performance.
