The Executive’s Guide to Cybersecurity for Accounting Firms

5 Critical Cyber Risks Every Firm Owner Must Avoid

A plain-English, executive-level guide that shows accounting firm owners where cyber, downtime, and compliance risks actually come from — and what to do about them before an incident, audit, or client trust issue forces the conversation.

Inside this guide, you’ll discover:

The 5 most common cybersecurity risks that quietly impact accounting firms — including phishing, insider threats, ransomware, and unpatched systems

How downtime, fraud, and data exposure really start — often from small, preventable gaps

High-level mitigation strategies you can evaluate immediately, even if you don’t change vendors

A clearer framework for asking the right IT and security questions — instead of hoping nothing breaks

Why most “IT security advice” misses the mark for firm owners (and how to think about cyber risk without technical jargon)

What executive-level risk awareness actually looks like, without needing to become a cybersecurity expert

How to reduce audit, compliance, and reputational risk by addressing cyber exposure proactively

This guide is written for business owners, not IT specialists.

Cybersecurity is an ever-present concern for accounting firms — but most resources are written from a technical specialist’s point of view, packed with jargon that doesn’t help firm leadership make better decisions.

This executive guide was created to bridge that gap.

It’s designed to help accounting firm owners:

Understand risk in business terms
Avoid common, costly blind spots
Make informed decisions without fear, hype, or technical overload
