Want to Know More About the Alavanca Systems
Accounting IT Services Story and Team?

Alavanca began with Ciro Cetrangolo, an IT specialist with over 30+ years in the IT services industry. Ciro’s career began at the age of 15, when his mom drove him to his first client. That client remained a client for over 25 years, a testament to the value and quality of work.

After exiting his successful and highly awarded IT Company and in discussions with many accounting professionals, he realized that there was a gap in the market for an IT Services firm specifically geared to the IT issues faced by accounting firms.

Because Ciro had worked with many CPAs in the past, he has a deep understanding of the software, workflow, and underlying technology of accounting organizations and was confident that he could provide CPAs with the secure, stable, and streamlined IT environments they need to accomplish their work more effectively.

Alavanca Systems — What’s in a Name?

Alavanca is a Portuguese word that means “leverage.” As a lifelong student of the martial arts, including jujitsu, the concept of leverage is a key cornerstone. Leverage is a concept that’s so simple to comprehend, yet it can take a lifetime to master the subtle things necessary to take advantage of its full potential power. The same is true with technology.

All accounting firms understand they need to utilize technology to remain competitive, but few firms actually utilize technology to its full potential. Leveraging the right technology to its full potential can help you grow and get more out of your accounting firm. That’s exactly what Alavanca Systems provides for our CPA clients – the knowledge and experience to leverage technology to support your ongoing success and growth.

By implementing IT services and cybersecurity management within your IT environment, we provide you, your accountants, and your support staff the ability to leverage your computers, cloud assets, data, and applications without worries about technology outages, slowdowns, or security problems.
