Who We Serve / Financial & Professional Services

Busy season doesn't wait for a help desk queue.

Surya engineers the endpoint fleet and runs AI-first service operations for accounting, advisory, and financial services firms — where every hour of downtime is a billable hour lost, and every device holds client financial data.

/ Compliance Posture

Audit-Ready

GLBA · FTC SAFEGUARDS RULE · IRS PUB. 4557 · SOC 2

/ The Pattern

Four pressures no traditional MSP was built for.

/ 01

Distributed fleets, everywhere at once

Laptops across flagship offices, satellite offices, home offices, and client sites. No per-office IT team to lean on — and no willingness to pay for one.

/ 02

Seasonal surge, JML at scale

Tax season, audit season, deal season — headcount can double for ten weeks. Traditional joiner-mover-leaver breaks at surge; missed offboarding becomes a data-protection incident.

/ 03

Client-data protection obligations

GLBA, FTC Safeguards Rule, IRS Pub. 4557, and the SOC 2 expectations your own clients now impose during vendor reviews. Every device is in scope, and evidence has to be producible in a week.

/ 04

Billable-hour workforce

Partners and staff bill by the hour. Sitting in a phone queue for a password reset is not a service-desk problem — it's revenue leakage the firm accounts for every quarter.

/ How Surya Maps

Four pressures. Four engineered answers.

Engineered zero-trust endpoints

Every device in a known, hardened, auditable state. Client-data protection is an engineering property of the fleet — not a policy binder your compliance team maintains by hand.

AI-first service desk in Microsoft Teams

Answers in seconds during the busy-season crunch. Engineers reserved for the problems that actually need them — with defined escalation paths and measured monthly metrics.

JML automation at surge scale

HRIS-driven joiner-mover-leaver that handles seasonal onboarding and offboarding without tickets or spreadsheets. Access revoked the day an engagement ends, evidence logged automatically.

One bill. No consulting invoices.

Platform, automation engineering, engineer escalations, and measured metrics — all in the monthly. No hourly change orders for routine work, no surprise SOWs after the busy season.

/ The Math

High revenue per employee makes the math land even harder.

Professional-services firms run high revenue per employee — which means support labor and downtime are directly billable-hour losses. The "keep 40–65% of the money" math against a traditional MSP contract works in every vertical we serve. In accounting, advisory, and financial services, the second-order effect — hours put back on the clock — is often larger than the first-order MSP savings.

In a firm where hours are the product, an employee waiting on IT is client revenue evaporating. The second invoice comes out of your realization rate.

/ Proof Points

What we actually do, not what we promise.

P / 01

Client-data protection, engineered

Every device ships in a known, hardened, auditable state — full-disk encryption, screen-lock, endpoint logging, and identity binding applied before it leaves the floor. Client-data protection is an engineering property of the fleet, not a policy binder.

P / 02

GLBA / Safeguards Rule alignment

Fleet controls and documentation align to the FTC Safeguards Rule, GLBA, and IRS Pub. 4557 — the exact evidence a professional-services firm has to produce for regulators and for its own clients' vendor reviews.

P / 03

SOC 2 evidence, on demand

Serialized chain of custody, joiner-mover-leaver logs, and configuration baselines exported as SOC 2 evidence. Your clients' vendor-security teams get answered in a week, not a quarter.

P / 04

Billable-hour service desk

AI-first service desk in Microsoft Teams — answers in seconds during the busy-season crunch, with defined engineer escalation paths for anything that needs a human. Partners and staff don't sit in a phone queue. A partner's dead laptop in March is a shipped, imaged replacement — not a support ticket aging while billable hours don't.

/ Reference

Trusted at 4,000-endpoint scale by a private equity-backed national accounting and advisory firm.

/ Case Study

How a national accounting and advisory firm runs 4,000 endpoints through one operator.

A private equity-backed national accounting and advisory firm consolidated endpoint logistics and service operations onto a single Surya contract. HRIS-driven joiner-mover-leaver at busy-season scale, GLBA / Safeguards Rule-aligned fleet controls, and AI-first service desk in Microsoft Teams — one bill across every office and every remote employee.

  • +~4,000 endpoints under one operator
  • +HRIS-driven JML at seasonal surge scale
  • +GLBA / FTC Safeguards Rule aligned fleet controls
  • +AI-first service desk in Microsoft Teams

/ Scenarios

From the floor, not the brochure.

Scenario / Busy SeasonSeasonal Surge Staffing

Tax season doubles your headcount for ten weeks. Your help desk shouldn't be the bottleneck.

Seasonal preparers, contract advisors, and interns all need role-correct devices on day one — and access revoked cleanly the day the engagement ends. HRIS-driven joiner-mover-leaver handles the surge without tickets or spreadsheets, and the AI-first service desk absorbs the season-crunch ticket volume so partners keep billing.

  • +HRIS-triggered Day-1 device delivery for seasonal preparers, contractors, and interns
  • +Persona-based access to tax, audit, and advisory applications provisioned automatically
  • +AI-first service desk in Teams — sub-minute answers for password, MFA, VPN, and app-access issues
  • +Same-day offboarding: device recovery, access revocation, and evidence logged as one event

Scenario / Client DataClient Data Protection

Every device holds client financial data. Every device is a Safeguards Rule question.

Under GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule, every laptop that touches client financial data is in scope. We take that scope off your risk register by engineering the device: encrypted at rest, bound to identity, monitored, and provably wiped to NIST 800-88 on return — with the chain of custody in the audit log.

  • +Full-disk encryption, screen-lock, and identity binding on every device
  • +Endpoint logging aligned to GLBA / Safeguards Rule and IRS Pub. 4557 controls
  • +NIST 800-88 sanitization with serialized certificate of destruction on every leaver
  • +SOC 2 evidence packaged for client vendor-security reviews

Scenario / Distributed FleetOffices + Home Offices

Partners in the office, staff at home, contractors on client sites — one fleet, one operator.

Professional-services firms run distributed by default: partners in flagship offices, staff working hybrid, contractors on client sites for weeks at a time. We hold a hot-spare buffer, ship directly to the person, and recover devices the same way — so a broken laptop in a client's conference room doesn't become a lost billable day.

  • +Direct-to-person shipping across every office and every remote employee
  • +Hot-spare pool with 4-hour swap SLA in RTP metro, next-day nationally
  • +Pre-paid, tamper-evident return kits dispatched the day a device fails
  • +One operator across every location — no per-office IT dependency

Scenario / One BillNo Consulting Invoices

One bill. No hourly consulting invoices arriving after the fact.

Traditional MSPs monetize entropy — every change, every new hire's edge case, every configuration tweak becomes an hourly consulting line item. The Full Replacement contract is one price: platform, automation engineering, engineer escalations, and measured monthly metrics are all included. No change orders for routine work.

  • +AI-first service operations included — not a separate SOW
  • +Automation engineering for new processes included in the monthly
  • +Configuration and policy evolution included — no hourly billing
  • +Measured monthly metrics: containment rate, median resolution, escalation count
