Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries, UltraTax and more, hosted for the season and the off-season.
We host professional tax software on secure Windows servers so preparers work from the office, home or a client site with prior-year installs intact. Add preparers in January, remove them in May, and pay only for the days they are active.
Supported editions and tools
Bring the license you own. We install, configure and keep it patched. Don't see your version listed? Ask; we support most currently licensed releases and many older ones.
Who this is built for
- Tax practices from one preparer to fifty
- Multi-office firms sharing one client database
- Firms that need a written information security plan (WISP) they can actually meet
- Seasonal staff who work from home
Built around how accounting teams actually work
Seasonal scaling
Add and remove preparers monthly; charges are prorated to the day. Capacity is added proactively before peak filing weeks.
Prior-year installs retained
Every supported tax year stays installed and licensed so amended returns and carry-forwards are one click away.
Security for your WISP
MFA, encryption at rest and in transit, activity logging and role-based access map directly to FTC Safeguards Rule requirements.
Document management included
Scanners, e-signature tools and document portals run in the same session, so returns, source documents and signatures stay together.
From signed quote to first close
Most environments are live within three to five business days. Larger Sage and multi-office migrations get a written project plan.
What protects your data, specifically
- 256-bit AES encryption at rest; TLS 1.2+ in transit
- Multi-factor authentication on every account
- Next-generation firewalls, intrusion detection and endpoint protection on every server
- Nightly backups retained 45 days, tested restores monthly
- SOC 2 Type II audited US data centers with redundant power and connectivity
- Activity logging and role-based access to support FTC Safeguards, HIPAA and PCI programs
One vendor for the whole stack
Hosting, hardware and managed IT on a single monthly invoice from Zedhost Cloud Solutions LLC, so one team is accountable when something needs fixing.

Do we bring our own tax software license?
Yes. We host the licensed copy you purchase from the vendor. We do not resell tax software.
How fast can you set up before season?
Most tax environments are live within three business days. December and early January book up; reserve a slot early.
Can we keep using our local scanners?
Yes. Scanners, printers and local drives redirect into the hosted session automatically.
What happens after April?
Keep the users you need year-round and remove the rest. The environment stays, so extension season and next year need no rebuild.
Ready to move your accounting workload to the cloud?
Tell us which applications you run and how many people need access. We'll size a plan, quote it in writing, and schedule a migration window that doesn't collide with month-end or tax season.
