The Problem

Common Challenges for Accountancy firms, bookkeepers, and payroll bureaus running practice management and accounting software

These are the issues that consistently come up when Accountancy firms, bookkeepers, and payroll bureaus running practice management and accounting software try to scale on the wrong infrastructure.

Challenge 1

Client financial data on shared cloud storage shares hardware with unknown tenants - a confidentiality risk professional bodies increasingly audit

Challenge 2

Per-user cloud accounting subscriptions become expensive as your practice grows - server-based Sage or QuickBooks Desktop has lower per-seat cost at scale

Challenge 3

Internet outages lock your team out of cloud-only accounting platforms - a local copy on a dedicated server with RDP provides resilience

How We Help

How Glitch Servers Solves This

Accountancy firms manage sensitive client financial data - tax returns, payroll records, bank details, and company accounts. ICAEW, ACCA, and AAT all expect member firms to protect client data appropriately. A dedicated server provides single-tenant UK infrastructure where client data lives on hardware only your practice accesses. Run Sage, QuickBooks Desktop, or tax software via Remote Desktop so your entire team can access the same data securely from any location.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).


A Glitch Servers dedicated server with Windows Server provides a centralised platform for your practice. Install Sage 50, QuickBooks Desktop, or any accounting software. Multiple staff access the same installation via Remote Desktop from office, home, or client sites. Client data is stored on encrypted, UK-resident hardware that only your firm touches. IPMI gives you remote recovery if Windows issues arise outside office hours. DDoS protection keeps your practice platform online.
