The cloud challenges of an accounting firm

The constraints of your profession, and the concrete answer a sovereign cloud provides.

πŸ”’

Professional secrecy

Accountants are bound by professional secrecy. Your clients' financial data must never leave your control.

βœ“ Strict access control, encryption and audit log
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Financial data & CLOUD Act

Ledgers, payroll, tax filings: a US provider can be compelled to hand them over to a foreign authority.

βœ“ European provider, out of reach of the CLOUD Act
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

GDPR & payroll

Payslips and HR data are personal data requiring security, traceability and EU location.

βœ“ Data stays in the EU, GDPR DPA and records made easy
πŸ“€

Collecting receipts

Email reminders, lost documents, files too large to send: document collection wastes precious time.

βœ“ Password-protected links with expiry dates

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You create a password-protected, time-limited upload link for each client; they drop files from their browser or phone without seeing any other documents.

The CLOUD Act applies to providers under US jurisdiction, wherever their servers are located. Cloudiou is a European company hosting your data with European providers and no US parent company, so no CLOUD Act order can be served on us.

Our plans start at €19.90 per year for a freelancer. For a firm or SME we prepare a free quote based on the number of users, storage and service level, with a fixed annual price.
