Industries we serve: Accountants and CPA Firms
Accounting firm websites that stay fast, secure and taking clients.
Hosting, maintenance and support for CPAs, bookkeepers, tax preparers and accounting firms. Client inquiries reach you during tax season, the secure client portal link always works, and the site is watched 24/7/365.
The problems accounting firms call us about
What goes wrong on accounting firm websites, and what it costs you.
Client inquiries lost during tax season
New client requests in March land in spam from a shared server. We deliver through authenticated email and test the form every day.
Client portal and upload links that break
The link to your secure portal or document upload tool changes and nobody notices until a client complains. We check portal links with every monthly review.
Sensitive data sent through a plain contact form
Clients paste Social Security numbers into the contact form. We keep sensitive details out of ordinary forms and point clients to your secure portal, and we add the privacy policy and cookie consent your firm should have.
Site down the week before a deadline
Shared hosting hiccups in April are the ones you cannot afford. We monitor 24/7/365 and handle site-down issues first.
Services and team pages out of date
New partners, new services and old prices. We update them the day you send them.
Nobody owns the website
The site was built by a vendor who moved on. We document everything, hold the logins securely and become the one team that knows your site.

How we compare
Why not a freelancer, a big-box host or just leaving it alone?
| What matters | SpeedSolid | A freelancer | Big-box host | Doing nothing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who answers when the site is down | One team that knows your site, phone and tickets 24/7/365, site-down handled first | Whoever built it, if they still reply | A chat queue that does not know your website | Nobody, until a customer tells you |
| Updates and security patches | Monthly updates, urgent fixes right away, malware monitoring and cleanup | When you remember to ask | Server only. Your WordPress, plugins and forms are on you | Never, until the site is hacked |
| Contact form delivery | Authenticated email, a test submission every day | Set up once, never checked again | Not their problem | Leads silently go to spam |
| Backups | Monthly full backup plus a copy before every update round, restore for $50 | Maybe | Often a paid add-on, restore on you | None |
| Accessibility and cookie tools | Included on Core Plus and Core Pro, with a statement page and consent banner | Extra project | Not offered | Exposed to demand letters |
| Price | From $99.99 a month, no contract | $75 to $150 an hour, unpredictable | $30 to $60 a month plus every fix at your cost | Free, until it is not |
Your first 30 days
What happens after you sign up.
No technical homework on your side. We move the site, test everything and take it from there. Headquartered in California with teams and clients in Texas, New York, Florida and Hawaii, servers in multiple US regions, and support in US business hours.
Days 1 to 3: we take over
We collect logins, copy the site to SpeedSolid hosting, run a full security and speed check and fix the obvious problems before anything is switched.
Days 4 to 7: we switch and test
Domain moves to the new server with no downtime scramble. Every page, link and form is tested on desktop and phone, and your first automated form test runs.
Weeks 2 to 4: we tune
Updates applied, caching and images tuned, accessibility and cookie tools installed on Core Plus and Core Pro, backups scheduled. You get the first monthly report.
What your site runs on
Enterprise infrastructure, with a human team in front of it.
SpeedSolid runs on enterprise cloud infrastructure that is audited and monitored around the clock, and we pass those commitments down to your website. What that infrastructure does not include is someone who knows your site and answers the phone. That part is us.
Audited data centers
Independently audited for SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS Level 1, with HIPAA-eligible infrastructure available on Core Pro private servers.
Published uptime commitments
Core Pro private cloud and managed WordPress servers carry a 99.99% commitment, shared hosting 99.9%, with a 24/7/365 network operations center behind all three.
East and West Coast servers
Northern California, Los Angeles and Ashburn, Virginia, with an Amsterdam option for European traffic. Your site sits closest to your customers.
Uptime commitments and certifications apply to the underlying infrastructure. SpeedSolid plan commitments are listed on the pricing page.
FAQ
Questions we get asked
Can clients upload documents through the site?
We recommend keeping document uploads inside your secure client portal and linking to it from the site. We check that link monthly and keep the public forms free of sensitive data.
Do you work with accounting firms outside California?
Yes. SpeedSolid is headquartered in California with teams and clients in Texas, New York, Florida and Hawaii. Servers sit in multiple US regions and support runs in US business hours, so a company anywhere in the country gets the same service.
Our site is on Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy. Can you still help?
Yes. WordPress is our specialty, but monitoring, business email and the accessibility and cookie tools work on any website. When you are ready, we migrate the site to WordPress on SpeedSolid hosting for free.
How fast do you respond when the site is down?
Monitoring usually flags outages before anyone calls. Site-down issues are handled first and Core Pro companies get priority support. Everything else gets a reply within one business day.
Can you add new service area pages as we grow?
Yes. City and service area pages are the most common request from accounting firms. Send the cities and we write, build and publish the pages, with each one tested on a phone before it goes live.
What does it cost?
Core is $99.99 per month, Core Plus is $149.99 per month and Core Pro starts at $299.99 per month. Pay annually and save 10 percent. Moving your existing site to SpeedSolid is free on every plan.
