IT for Accountants and Financial Services in Kent
Business Computer Solutions (BCS) helps accountants overcome tech challenges with proactive IT support, advanced cybersecurity and strategic technology planning. From protecting client data and securing cloud applications to supporting business continuity and AI readiness, we provide the expertise, responsiveness and guidance modern accountancy firms need to thrive.
Protect Client Data & Reputation
Your clients trust you with some of their most sensitive financial information. One breach, ransomware attack or data leak can damage that trust overnight.
Accountancy firms are increasingly targeted because they hold valuable financial data and act as gateways into wider client networks. We help protect your firm with advanced cybersecurity, multi-factor authentication, threat monitoring, backup protection and ongoing security guidance.
Why it matters
- Financial firms remain a top target for cybercriminals
- AI-powered phishing attacks are becoming harder to spot
- Cyber insurers increasingly expect robust security controls
Keep Working Through Deadlines
When systems fail during payroll runs, tax season or year-end reporting, every minute costs money.
Our proactive IT support helps prevent issues before they disrupt your business. We continuously monitor and maintain your systems to minimise downtime and keep your team productive when it matters most.
What you get
- Fast response times from real engineers
- Proactive monitoring and maintenance
- Reduced disruption during critical filing periods
Built For Modern Accountancy
From IRIS, CCH and Sage to Xero, Dext and BrightPay, your technology should support your processes, not slow them down.
We help accountancy firms modernise their IT estate, improve system performance and ensure staff can work securely from anywhere. Whether you’re supporting hybrid teams or planning future growth, we make technology an asset rather than a frustration.
The result
- Faster, more reliable systems
- Better user experience for staff
- Secure access to business-critical applications

Trusted advice, not sales pitches

Cyberattacks are 300x more likely at Financial Services Companies
Financial Institutions are a prime target for cybercriminals, due to the potential reward available to them following a breach. Often there is a high level of back and forth with emails, invoices and other financial information, combined with tight schedules and busy people, making it easy to fall victim to a scam. Unfortunately, a simple mistake can make or break a company and permanently damage a business’s reputation. At BCS, we offer a security audit service and IT support for kent businesses to help analyse and highlight any potential risk areas in your IT infrastructure – even if you’re not an existing client of ours!

Customer Story
Batchelor Coop Ltd
Batchelor Coop is an independent accountancy firm that relies on technology to support its team, protect sensitive client information and deliver a personal service to clients. The firm has partnered with BCS for more than 20 years.
Director Mike Sole says the relationship allows Batchelor Coop to focus on its clients while BCS manages the technology behind the scenes:
“Thanks to them, we don’t need to worry or think about the tech side of things and they are also great at not making you feel stupid for asking what might seem a naïve technical question.”
“Cyber Security is a huge worry. We may not be like a bank, with clients’ money directly at risk but it would be hugely embarrassing for an accountancy firm to have its security compromised.”
“Fortunately, we never need doubt that BCS is ahead of the game, preventing virus attacks, keeping on top of GDPR rules, scamming of the ‘I’m trapped in Morocco – can you send £1,000 urgently?’ variety, or anyone hacking into our system.”
The result is a long-standing partnership built on trust, security and dependable support:
“We are one of their oldest clients, if not the oldest, and like any sensible business we regularly review what the BCS service costs us, but our 20-year association says it all.”
