Tax Software Hosting — Every Tax Platform, Cloud-Ready

Why Tax Professionals Need Cloud Hosting

Tax preparation firms face challenges that make on-premises software increasingly impractical. Seasonal staff need immediate access to client files without hardware provisioning delays. Partners review returns from home offices, client sites, and airport lounges. Multiple preparers must work inside the same client database simultaneously without file-locking conflicts or version mismatches.

Cloud-hosted tax software solves every one of these problems. Your Lacerte, ProSeries, Drake, or UltraTax installation runs on a secure, high-performance server managed by EezyCloud. Every authorized user connects through a remote desktop session that looks and performs identically to working on a local machine — but without the local machine headaches.

During tax season, when your team doubles in size and workloads spike, cloud hosting scales with you. We provision additional resources on demand so your software stays fast during peak filing periods. When the season ends and staff contracts, you scale back down. No overprovisioned hardware sitting idle for nine months of the year.

Security matters enormously when handling thousands of tax returns containing Social Security numbers, income data, and banking details. EezyCloud protects every hosted environment with AES-256 encryption, SOC 2 Type II certified data centers, multi-factor authentication, and automated intrusion detection — the same security posture that large national firms mandate for their own infrastructure.

Tax Platforms We Host

Why Cloud-Host Your Tax Software

Multi-User Collaboration

Multiple preparers, reviewers, and partners work inside the same tax application simultaneously. No file locking, no emailing returns back and forth, and no version conflicts. Every change is made in real time on a single centralized installation, which dramatically reduces errors and speeds up the review-to-filing workflow.

Security and Compliance

Tax data is among the most sensitive information any business handles. Our hosting infrastructure meets or exceeds IRS Publication 4557 requirements for safeguarding taxpayer data. AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3 transport security, SOC 2 Type II certified data centers, and automated intrusion detection protect every return on our platform. Multi-factor authentication is enabled by default, and role-based access controls let you define exactly who can view, edit, or e-file returns.

Performance at Scale

Tax season means peak workloads — large batch calculations, multi-state returns, and dozens of concurrent users hitting the same server. EezyCloud provisions dedicated CPU, RAM, and NVMe SSD storage for each hosted environment. We monitor resource utilization in real time and scale capacity before you notice a slowdown, keeping your team productive during the busiest weeks of the year.

Remote Access, Any Device

Connect from Windows, Mac, iPad, or Chromebook through a lightweight remote desktop client. Seasonal staff can start preparing returns within minutes of onboarding — no hardware to ship, no VPN to configure, no software to install locally. Partners reviewing returns from home see the exact same interface and performance as staff in the office.

Tax Season Ready

EezyCloud guarantees 99.99% uptime backed by a service-level agreement with financial credits. Our infrastructure is designed for the reality of tax season: sudden workload spikes, extended working hours, and zero tolerance for downtime between January and April.

Automated nightly backups are retained for 30 days and stored in a geographically separate data center. In the unlikely event of a hardware failure, your environment is restored from backup in under four hours. On-demand backups are available any time through your EezyCloud dashboard — ideal before installing updates or running year-end rollovers.

Our support team includes specialists familiar with Lacerte, ProSeries, Drake, and UltraTax. When you call during tax season, you reach someone who understands tax workflows — not a generalist reading from a script. Phone and chat support are available extended hours from January through April 15 to match your team’s schedule.
