INDUSTRIES, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Time is the product. Tech keeps up.

Accountants, consultants, engineers, architects and advisors. Your business runs on billable hours and trusted advice, so your IT should be the invisible enabler, not a recurring distraction. We deliver the email, document and security foundations built around how professional services actually work.

WHAT WE RUN FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Managed IT for professional services, run by one team.

Systems that stay up on deadline

The tools your team bills hours in, email, documents and your practice systems, stay available when a deadline is looming, with the software providers managed for you.

Client information kept private

Confidential client and engagement information is kept private, with controls that stop the wrong file reaching the wrong person and a record of who accessed what.

Documents organised and findable

Every version of every document is kept, backed up and instantly searchable, so nothing is lost or overwritten and the right file is always to hand.

Your business apps, connected

Your accounting, billing and practice software kept running and talking to each other, so time, invoices and approvals flow without double handling.

Back up and running fast

Firm and client data is safely copied and quickly restored, so a failed device or an attack does not cost you a deadline or a day of billing.

Devices and offices looked after

Every computer, laptop and mobile across your offices, set up, secured and maintained, so your people just get on with the work.

Help the moment something breaks

Real engineers answer when something goes down at 5pm before a lodgement, not a ticket that sits for a day.

Work securely from anywhere

Your team works safely from the office, a client site or home, with the same protection and access.

A BILLABLE WEEK, OR A WRITE-OFF

The difference is IT that stays out of the way and holds up under pressure.

When a firm loses its systems it is not just downtime. Billable hours stop, deadlines slip, and confidential client information can be exposed, right when your clients and insurers are asking harder questions about how you protect it. Proactive security and reliability mean the bad week never lands.

WITHOUT PROACTIVE IT

The week you write off

A device is locked up the week of a major deadline. Work stops, files are unreachable, and no one is sure whether client information was taken. The hours lost never come back, and the trust takes longer to rebuild.

WITH BASEHOST

A normal week

The threat is blocked before it lands, confidential files stay protected, and clean backups have the one affected device running again within the hour. The deadline is met and the week bills as normal.

WHAT WE TYPICALLY DELIVER

The professional services baseline

PRODUCTIVITY

Your everyday tools, running right

Email, video meetings, document storage organised around your engagements, and simple automation for invoices and approvals, all set up to fit how your firm actually works.

PRACTICE STACK

Your business systems, connected

Your accounting, billing and practice software kept running, connected and secured, so time, invoices and approvals move without double handling.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidential client data protected

Access controls and activity logging so confidential client information is seen only by the people who should see it, and controls that stop it leaving by accident without getting in the way of the work.

COMPLIANCE

Security your clients now expect

Your security lifted to the standard your larger clients and insurers increasingly ask for, with the evidence to show them.

RESILIENCE

Ready for the busy season

Through tax season, end of financial year and project deadlines, tested backups and agreed recovery times mean a bad day does not cost you the deadline.

SUPPORT

A help desk that knows your setup

Real engineers who know your setup, on the phone when something breaks, not a call-centre ticket that sits for a day.

ALWAYS ON

Your systems, watched around the clock.

Your systems are monitored day and night, and every warning is checked by a real engineer, not ignored. The problems that cannot wait are handled straight away, so a problem before a deadline is dealt with, not discovered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common questions

What IT support does a professional services firm need?
A help desk your team can reach, reliable systems and networks, secure email, well-organised documents, your accounting and practice software kept running and connected, tested backups, and security lifted to what your larger clients and insurers now ask for. BaseHost runs all of it as one accountable team so your people stay on billable work.
Can you support our accounting and practice software?
Yes. Even where another vendor makes the software, we are your single point of contact and work directly with them to keep it running, connected and secure, whether you use Xero, MYOB, Karbon, FYI or a time-billing platform.
Our clients and insurers are asking about our security. Can you help?
Yes. We lift your security to the standard larger clients and insurers increasingly require, and give you the evidence to show them, without holding it as an accreditation ourselves. We run the controls and reviews that get your firm there.
How do you keep client information confidential?
Access controls and activity logging so confidential information is seen only by the right people, controls that stop it leaving by accident, and tracked access, all designed to protect the work without getting in its way.
Are you Melbourne-based, and do you support firms interstate?
BaseHost is Melbourne-based, in Brighton, and has supported Australian businesses since 2004, and we support professional services firms right across Australia. Day-to-day work is delivered remotely with around-the-clock monitoring and senior-engineer support, and on-site help is available across the country, next business day, when hands-on work is needed. Interstate firms get the same team and the same guaranteed response times.
