Learn how Smart Dolphins has helped firms to reliably push software updates and spin up new computers faster than ever.

Listen to Ty explain how Smart Dolphins works proactively to help firms be prepared for the busy tax season.

It seems like everyone is pushing accountants to the cloud, but for a lot of businesses we’ve encountered in the industry -- “it’s just not there yet”. A lot of the cloud versions of legacy accounting software lack the same features that accountants have grown to know and love. A lot of firm’s clients are also working on legacy versions of software that aren’t compatible. 

For others, the cost of cloud computing is just too high for their company size and needs. Whether you are ready to take on cloud solutions for your business or still need hands-on tech support in your offices - we’re here to help.

A Message From Our CEO

firm diagram

IT is a core component of any small-medium sized business.

Information Technology is often one of the last things people consider in their business. Not treating it as a core segment of your business from the beginning can have a long term detrimental impact. Are you suffering from these major pitfalls?

- Cheap IT support that is slow or unresponsive

- Outdated software / hardware during tax season

- Unpreparedness for a cyber-attack

- Sloppy onboarding procedures for new employees

The good news? It's not too late to make it a priority.

ALLIANCE

Fully Managed Solution

We believe in forging strong partnerships with our clients, so we call our solution offering “Alliance.” We have fixed-price relationships with all our clients that establish a predictable investment for our system of six service deliverable areas that drive predictable results. “Month-to-month” agreements that grow and shrink as needed offer you flexibility and peace of mind. With your Smart Dolphins “Allies” in place, you get out of the “IT business” and build the vision for your organization.

TEAM UP

Co-Managed Solution

If you have existing IT staff, let’s “Team Up”! We modify Alliance, so your existing IT staff becomes a part of our Support team. This approach lowers our fixed price, gives your valued IT team the value of our Pod, and delivers valuable synergies of both “in-house” and outsourced IT.
