Accretion SystemsSmall business IT consultant in Washington, DC.
Practical IT and cybersecurity help for small organizations that need the work understood, fixed, and documented without being pushed into a large managed-services contract.
When this is a fit.
The setup mostly works, but nobody trusts it
Wi-Fi drops, remote access is fragile, admin accounts are unclear, backups are assumed rather than proven, or the person who set it up is no longer around.
You need a first step, not a forever retainer
Some problems need a contained cleanup, a prioritized action list, and a clear handoff before anyone can decide whether larger work is worth it.
Security needs to become concrete
MFA, DNS records, contact forms, domain trust, router settings, and device basics can be checked and improved before a formal assessment or compliance project.
You want the person scoping it to stay accountable
Accretion Systems is built without an account-manager layer. The engagement is scoped directly and the outcome stays owned directly.
Common starting points.
Small Business Security Cleanup
Starts at $750
A practical cleanup for small businesses that know security matters, but do not need a six-week assessment to start fixing the obvious risks.
Network, Wi-Fi, and Remote Access Fix
Starts at $600
For offices where the network mostly works until it does not: weak Wi-Fi, unclear router settings, fragile VPNs, or remote access nobody fully trusts.
Email, DNS, and Deliverability Repair
Starts at $500
For businesses whose domain is technically online, but trust signals are messy: emails land in spam, forms misbehave, DNS is unclear, or Cloudflare was set up once and never reviewed.
What you get from a small engagement.
- A plain-English picture of what is currently wrong or uncertain.
- Specific fixes ranked by urgency: fix now, schedule next, monitor later.
- Documentation that makes the environment easier to operate after the work is done.
- A direct conversation about whether the next step is worth doing at all.
Start with the symptom.
Send a short note about what is unreliable, risky, or confusing. A few sentences is enough to tell whether this should be a small cleanup, a larger project, or something better handled by another provider.
