(Its what I would do too!)
Total Tax Hosting is a secure, cloud-based platform built specifically for tax firms. It allows you to run your full software stack—including Lacerte, ProSeries, SmartVault, Office, and more—without the headaches of traditional IT vendors or overpriced hosted environments like Rightworks.
We’re built by a tax firm owner, not an IT vendor. That means:
> No restriction on integrations or program installations
> Flat-rate pricing with no surprise fees
> Full admin control to install your own apps and tools
> Modern performance, built on Microsoft Azure
> Faster support, less red tape
Anything you’d normally install on a local PC—including:
> Lacerte, ProSeries, Drake, UltraTax
> Microsoft Office
> Tax Efficiency Tools: SmartVault, TaxDome, Juno Tax
> Your firm’s custom tools or workflows
Security is foundational to everything we do:
> Built on Microsoft Azure, with enterprise-grade security
> Full data encryption at rest and in transit
> Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for every login
> Daily backups with point-in-time restore
> Written Information Security Plan (WISP) aligned to IRS Pub 4557
No. Many firms start with a single user or small group to test the platform before fully transitioning. We’ll work with you to migrate at your pace.
Yes. You have full control and access to your data at all times. We are in the hosting business, so you still own and are fully responsible for your client records and firm record retention requirements.
We offer a flat, per-user monthly rate of $99 that includes everything—hosting, backups, support, and software freedom. No surprise fees, no minimum contracts, no tiered levels to unlock special features. One. Flat. Rate.
