The problem
When IT goes wrong in financial services, the cost is real
Generic IT providers often deliver slow response times, limited understanding of specialist financial software, and reactive security that leaves you exposed. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Downtime during critical periods
System failures during tax season, FCA reporting windows, or client meetings directly cost revenue and reputation.
Compliance gaps and data exposure
An IT partner who doesn’t understand FCA obligations or GDPR leaves your client data and your licence at risk.
No support for your specialist tools
Generic IT providers fix hardware but don’t understand IRIS, CCH, Xero, or the financial CRMs your team depends on daily.
Recurring issues with no root fix
The same problems keep coming back. Quick patches instead of proper fixes waste your team’s time and patience.
Security that feels reactive
In a sector handling sensitive client financial data, one breach doesn’t just cost money — it costs client trust permanently.
Paying more for less
Many London-based IT providers charge enterprise prices for SME-level service. There’s a smarter option.

We don’t just support hardware — we support your entire ecosystem.
03
Security and compliance you can trust

Client testimonial
Trusted by financial firms across London & Essex
★★★★★
Switching to Sprint Integration was one of the best operational decisions we’ve made. Before them, we were constantly chasing our previous IT provider during tax season — slow responses, recurring issues, and no real understanding of the pressure we were under. Sprint got it immediately. They know our software, they respond fast, and we’ve had zero critical downtime in the 18 months since we moved. For a firm handling sensitive client data and HMRC submissions on tight deadlines, that reliability is everything.

The challenge
Reynolds & Partners had been with the same IT provider for four years. As the firm grew to 32 staff across two offices, recurring system slowdowns, slow helpdesk response times, and repeated issues with their IRIS tax platform were costing the team billable hours and causing significant stress during the January and July self-assessment peaks. Their data backup process was also inconsistent, raising concerns around GDPR compliance.
What Sprint did
Sprint Integration conducted a full IT health check across both offices, identifying outdated network hardware, misconfigured Microsoft 365 permissions, and gaps in endpoint protection. Sprint replaced the core network infrastructure, implemented a proactive monitoring system, configured secure cloud backup with automated daily verification, and built a dedicated support relationship so the firm’s IRIS and CCH software issues were handled by engineers who understood the tools. A dedicated relationship manager was also assigned to the account.

Can you support our practice management software?
We have experience supporting financial firms using IRIS, CCH, Xero, QuickBooks, Karbon, and a range of financial CRMs. If you use specialist tools, tell us and we’ll confirm compatibility upfront — before you commit to anything.
How quickly do you respond to urgent issues?
Our standard response time is 30 minutes. We understand that for financial businesses, especially during tax season or client-facing periods, an hour of downtime has a real cost. We take response times seriously and hold ourselves to them.
We’re based in Essex — do you cover us?
