About — Chris Geiger, Founder of Outpost Cloud & Geiger Tax & Accounting

The practice behind the platform.

Outpost Cloud isn’t a startup chasing a hosting market. It’s shared infrastructure built and operated alongside Geiger Tax & Accounting — an Amityville, NY practice led by Chris Geiger, an NYS-licensed tax return preparer with 25+ years advising small businesses on accounting, best practices, and tax preparation. Long Island and nationwide.

How the pieces fit together.

Geiger Tax & Accounting is the professional services firm. Outpost Cloud is a separate LLC that operates the shared QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise environment its clients and affiliated bookkeepers work in.

Chris Geiger, founder of Outpost Cloud and Geiger Tax & Accounting, Amityville NY

Chris Geiger runs Geiger Tax & Accounting out of Amityville, NY. He’s an NYS-licensed tax return preparer with 25+ years of work alongside small business owners — the contractors, retailers, professional services firms, and multi-entity owners who need their books, their strategy, and their tax return to actually line up at year end.

That’s the job: advising on the accounting side of small business, talking through best practices for the operation, and preparing the returns for the entities and the people behind them. Long Island clients anchor the practice. The work has followed clients nationwide for years.

All of it runs on QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. Always has. After years of watching clients and affiliated bookkeepers wrestle with getting to the same QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise environment from different offices, different laptops, different machines, Chris built the shared hosting setup that eventually became Outpost Cloud.

Infrastructure built by a practice, for a practice.

Most cloud hosting products are built by hosting companies. Outpost Cloud wasn’t. It was built inside a working accounting and tax practice, to solve a working accounting and tax practice’s problem: how to get a group of bookkeepers and clients into the same QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise environment without giving up the speed and depth of the native desktop application.

That origin shapes everything about how it runs. The environment matches how Geiger Tax actually works with clients and affiliates — consolidated company files, shared reporting, clean handoffs at year end. It isn’t a generic hosting product with a login page. It’s the inside of a practice.

Which is why it’s not sold on its own. Access comes through a relationship with Geiger Tax & Accounting — either as a client or as an affiliated bookkeeper.
