The Tax File Nobody Told You Was Public

Attackers spend weeks inside a small accounting firm's email before a single message asks for anything. Here is what they extract during that window (tax returns, financial statements, payroll data), how they extract it, and why the industry's 'MFA and backups' response misses the entire attack.

What a LeakTrace forensic audit surfaces for a accounting / bookkeeping account

The exposure categories we consistently observe across accounting / bookkeeping. Each finding maps to a remediation path with severity ranking and step-by-step playbook.

Layer 01
Email authentication posture
DMARC / SPF / DKIM configuration on your business domain. The single most common wire-fraud enabler across the sector.
Layer 02
Credential exposure landscape
Employee credentials appearing in monitored breach databases. Cross-referenced across your platform stack and given severity ranking.
Layer 03
Infrastructure attack surface
Public-facing services, open ports, aging platforms, and unpatched infrastructure surfaced with reproducible verification for each finding.
Layer 04
Principal personal exposure
Owner and executive discoverability across data broker sources. The material threat actors use to construct impersonation attacks.

Different from every other cyber vendor pitching your inbox.

You are the target audience of a lot of cyber marketing right now. Most of it is either fear-based sales for a product that does not exist, or Fortune-500-priced enterprise engagement your firm cannot justify. LeakTrace was built specifically for the space in between.

What most cyber vendors sell you
What LeakTrace delivers
Enterprise contract starting at $50K per year, minimum. Aimed at Fortune 500 accounts.
$700 one-time forensic audit. Same methodology Mandiant and Kroll bring to their Fortune 500 clients. Priced for the accounting / bookkeeping businesses they do not serve.
Six-to-eight-week enterprise engagement. Kick-off meetings, scoping calls, sign-offs.
Five audit-grade PDFs in under 24 hours. External attack surface only. Nothing to install, no meetings needed.
"Trust us" opaque scoring. You get a risk score, not the evidence.
Every finding independently verifiable. Reproducible verification command under each finding. Your IT partner can confirm every claim.
Fear-based sales cycle. Every conversation ends with "the sky is falling, sign here."
Evidence-based, not sales-theater. Real breach data on your domain. Real exposure sequenced into a documented attacker path. Read it, verify it, decide.
Monthly recurring subscription with no exit and no clear deliverable.
One-time audit, monitoring optional. If findings surface nothing beyond your preview, standing refund guarantee. Continuous monitoring available if you want ongoing coverage after the audit.
Generic report, sold to every industry with a find-and-replace.
Sector-tuned to accounting / bookkeeping. Regulatory mapping specific to your vertical. Attack patterns specific to how your peers get targeted. Not a template.

LeakTrace was built by operators who watched too many small firms get quoted $80K enterprise engagements they could not justify, then get breached six months later. The gap between "enterprise cyber" and "your IT partner runs antivirus" is where every small business sits. That is the gap we exist to close.
