CPA2Biz, who handle marketing for the American Institute of CPAs’ products and services, have announced that they have teamed up with Apptix to launch an e-mail service for CPAs nationwide. Apptix is a renowned Exchange hosting company so the rest is, how shall we say, history.

This move will allow even the smaller CPA firms to access e-mail via Outlook, Entourage and Outlook Web Access; back up and secure e-mail data; use built-in anti-spam and anti-virus protection; manage contact lists; and simplify scheduling with shared calendars.

Here is what CPA2Biz chief executive Erik Asgeirsso has to say about the move:

“CPA2Biz Email Solutions offers firms improved e-mail functionality at a competitive price and promotes a more professional appearance to current and prospective clients,” he said.
“CPA firms will now have a compelling alternative to hosting their e-mail in-house or using one of the basic e-mail service offerings from one of the many free or low-cost providers ” he added. “We believe this will become one of our leading offerings. There is a very strong value proposition for firms; it’s business-class e-mail with no internal IT costs.”
