Watch Cloud Cyber Security

Know a firm that should be protected? You both get a free month.

Refer a tax preparer, CPA, enrolled agent, or bookkeeper to Watch Cloud. Once their computers are fully protected, your firm and theirs each get one month of service free.

How it works

Three steps. We handle everything after the introduction.

1

Make the introduction

Send your colleague your personal referral link, or fill out the form below with their details. Either way, we know the referral came from you.

2

We get them protected

Our team walks them through setup and installs protection on their computers. No pressure and no hard sell.

3

You both get a free month

Once their firm is fully set up, we credit one free month to your account and one to theirs. Refer five firms, earn five free months.

Who to refer

Anyone who handles client financial information, which is most of the people you already work with.

Tax preparers

The office down the street, or a preparer you trained with.

CPAs

Small practices you refer clients to or share overflow with.

Enrolled agents

EAs in your network, chapter or study group.

Bookkeepers

The bookkeepers who send you their clients at tax time.

Why it matters to them: every firm that handles client tax and financial data is expected to protect it under the FTC Safeguards Rule, and tax professionals also under IRS Publication 4557. Watch Cloud gives them managed protection on every computer, a 24/7 security operations team watching for threats, and help with their Written Information Security Plan, aligned with both.

Make the introduction

Enter the details of the firm you are referring, or send them this page so they can fill it out. We will reach out within one business day.

You were referred by a Watch Cloud client. Fill out the form and your free month is on its way once you are set up.

Program details

The short version: introduce a firm, they get protected, you both get a month free.

When do we get the free month?

As soon as the firm you referred is fully set up, meaning protection is installed on their computers. We credit one free month to your account and one to theirs at that point.

How is the free month applied?

It is a credit on your account, not cash. If you pay monthly, one monthly payment is refunded. If you pay annually, one month comes off your next renewal. If your service is paid through your bank at tax time, one month comes off next season's fee.

Is there a limit?

No. Every referred firm that gets fully set up earns you another free month.

How do you know the referral came from me?

Use your personal referral link, which you can get from your Watch Cloud contact or find in your monthly coverage report. If your colleague found us another way, they can type your firm's name in the "Which firm referred you?" box.

Who counts as a new firm?

A tax preparer, CPA, enrolled agent, or bookkeeping firm that is not already a Watch Cloud client.

Does my colleague have to buy anything right away?

No. We start with a conversation about their firm and what they need. The free month only applies if they become a client and get fully set up.
