When an accounts server goes down, or a drive holding client ledgers stops responding — and it always seems to happen at year-end or in tax season — you need it back quickly and kept strictly private. We're based in Belfast and recover financial data for accountants, advisers and in-house finance teams here and right across the UK: on our own bench, under NDA, with audit-ready paperwork. Your clients' data never leaves the country.
Accounts servers, client databases and ledgers, recovered by our own engineers — kept confidential, with a documented chain of custody and an NDA as standard.
From one bookkeeper's laptop to a multi-partner accounts server — recovered on our own bench and kept confidential.

Sensitive financial data is handled to a standard that holds up to an audit.
More on how your data is handled: Data security & confidentiality.
In finance the clock rules everything — a failure during an audit, at year-end or in self-assessment season simply can't sit and wait. Tell us the deadline when you first make contact and we'll push the job up the queue and give you an honest turnaround from the outset. Most recoveries wrap up in three to four working days, and you speak to the engineer working your case, not a call centre. We're happy to invoice the firm and take purchase orders, with 30-day terms for established accounts.
A secure path from the moment of failure to a verified, confidential handover.
Call or email describing what's gone wrong, and we'll point you to the safest next move.
Drop the drives in or post them insured, and we'll confirm what can be brought back.
You get a fixed written quote and a turnaround before any chargeable work begins.
Recovery is done in-house, the data is verified, and it comes back to you on fresh encrypted media or via secure download.
We also work with: Legal · Healthcare · University & research · Business & enterprise.
Post or drop in your device for a free diagnostic, with a note on what happened — an engineer reviews it and confirms your exact quote in writing before any work begins.
First step: get the device onto our Belfast bench. Wrap it well, tuck your contact details in the box, and post it over — the diagnostic costs nothing, and you’ll have a firm written price to approve before we touch a single sector.
Posting it? A tracked, insured service is best. Dropping it off instead? You’re welcome Monday–Friday, 9am–5:30pm — please still pack the device as above.
Not ready to send anything yet? Use the form to describe the fault in your own words and one of the engineers will come back with a quote tailored to your situation.
We will get back to you soon. If it is urgent, call 028 9002 0144.
