Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Lacerte Tax cloud hosting.
Lacerte cloud hosting puts your Intuit Lacerte Tax software on a dedicated high-performance virtual server in the cloud. Instead of running Lacerte on a local computer, you access a full Windows desktop — with Lacerte pre-installed — from any device with an internet connection. Your data, applications, and files are all stored securely in enterprise-grade data centers with automated backups.
Intuit's hosted solution provides limited cloud access starting at $107/user/month with shared resources and restricted application support. Advantage IT gives you a dedicated virtual server with your own CPU, RAM, and NVMe SSD storage. You get a full Windows desktop where you can run Lacerte alongside any other software — QuickBooks, Excel, Adobe, document management — with no per-user pricing. Our plans start at $497/month for the entire firm, which is far more cost-effective for multi-user practices.
Absolutely. Your cloud desktop is a full Windows environment. Run Lacerte Tax, QuickBooks Desktop, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, document management systems, and any other Windows application your firm needs — all from one secure cloud desktop.
Your data always belongs to you. If you decide to cancel, we provide a full export of all your files and data. We'll assist with the migration to ensure a smooth transition and give you a reasonable period to download everything.
Yes. Our team handles the entire migration process — transferring your Lacerte data, client files, and other applications to your new dedicated cloud server. Most firms are fully migrated and operational within 24–48 hours with zero data loss.
Our servers feature high-performance vCPUs (up to 32 cores), generous RAM (up to 128 GB), and fast NVMe SSD storage (up to 1 TB). Every plan includes a dedicated virtual server — not shared hosting — so you get consistent performance even during peak tax season.
Security is our top priority. We use end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption, multi-factor authentication, enterprise firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. Our infrastructure is SOC 2 compliant, and we perform automated daily backups with disaster recovery options.
Yes — log in from any Windows PC, Mac, Chromebook, iPad, Android tablet, or even your phone. All you need is an internet connection and a remote desktop client.
