How We Solve the Top 4 Challenges Accountants Face

Security & Compliance

Accountants like you handle vast amounts of sensitive financial and personal data. Cyber threats, ransomware, and phishing attacks are rising and compliance with GDPR and industry regulations is non-negotiable.

According to the World Economic Forum, 72% of cyber leaders say cybersecurity risks are rising.

For example, in March 2025, the huge UK retail company Marks & Spencer experienced a cyber attack, resulting in online orders on their website and app being suspended since April 2025, and personal customer data being stolen. While in-store services have been restored, the organisation is still struggling to get its services back to normal.

Breaches in cybersecurity can cause serious reputational damage and create huge financial costs for the business, and thus, robust cyber security practices should be of the upmost importance to any organisation.

Through our specialist cyber division Cyber Advisor, we protect businesses like yours against the latest cyber threats.
