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, Sage, Xero, TaxCalc 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.

Client testimonials
Trusted by financial firms across London & Essex
★★★★★
We’ve worked with Sprint for over 20 years now and I honestly cannot fault the service. Jordan and his team have been an integral part of making sure everything runs smoothly for our firm, especially during high-pressure projects. Josh, Paul, and Alex also deserve a mention. They are equally professional, easy to work with, and clearly take pride in what they do. The whole team is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in getting things right. It’s rare to find an IT team that feels like a true extension of your business, but that’s exactly what they’ve become for us. Would highly recommend.
Case study
From severe bottlenecks to zero downtime delivery
Cooper Paul
Chartered Accountancy · Loughton, Essex
Chartered Accountancy
The challenge
As a well-established accountancy firm, Cooper Paul relied heavily on their on-premises systems for core business applications, data processing, and client support. However, their aging infrastructure was struggling to keep pace with their growth. Internal network performance constraints were creating severe bottlenecks, threatening daily productivity. Furthermore, limited visibility into network health meant issues couldn’t be proactively addressed, and as a client-facing firm, they couldn’t afford the downtime risks associated with upgrading their legacy hardware.
What Sprint did
Sprint Integration designed a targeted, high-performance infrastructure upgrade meant to eliminate constraints without disrupting operations. The approach included deploying two new enterprise-grade network switches interconnected with a high-speed 10Gbps fibre link to completely remove switching bottlenecks. Sprint also installed a 10Gbps network adapter within their key on-premise server, implemented advanced network monitoring tools for complete proactive visibility, and scheduled the entire upgrade outside of standard business hours to ensure absolutely no disruption to staff or clients.
The results
10GbpsCore throughput delivering noticeably faster access
0Downtime during transition and hardware replacement
100%Security support restored and future-proofed

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?
