26+ years of IT expertise for professional services firms

Founded in 1999 in the heart of Silicon Valley, One82 has spent over two decades building a singular expertise: technology for professional services firms. While other MSPs serve everyone, we chose to go deep — and that decision has made all the difference for our clients.

Our Story

Why we only serve professional services

When Farzon Almaneih founded One82 in 1999, the IT industry was built on a one-size-fits-all model. Every MSP served every industry — restaurants, retailers, manufacturers, and professional services firms all got the same support.

Farzon saw a problem. CPA firms needed IT partners who understood tax season. Law firms needed someone who knew what ethical walls were. Financial services firms needed security that met SEC and DFPI standards. No generalist IT company could deliver that depth of expertise.

So One82 made a choice that most MSPs wouldn't: we decided to specialize. We stopped serving every industry and focused exclusively on accounting practices, law firms, and boutique financial services firms.

That decision — made over 26 years ago — is why our clients stay with us for over a decade on average. We don't just fix computers. We understand your business, your compliance requirements, your deadlines, and your clients' expectations.
