Pimlico Accounting
CPA site care grown into full managed IT: WordPress, SEO tracking, GHL booking, plus a private Proxmox + Linode + Tailscale stack with an on-prem AI brain.

The problem.
Pimlico Accounting is an established London, Ontario CPA firm, founded 2010, led by Mike Howard, CPA, with 25+ years of experience. The web side needed steady care: a WordPress site, tracking, bookings, and social presence for a firm competing on local searches like "accountant London Ontario."
Behind the website, the firm's IT was scattered. Aging PCs (some on end-of-life Windows 10), a third-party MSP of unclear ownership, flat unsegmented networks at home and office, cloud-storage sprawl, a single-drive NAS, and no monitoring, all under a business that handles sensitive tax and payroll data.
What we built.
Site, tracking, and bookings
Ongoing WordPress site care with GA4, Search Console, an NX DAT analytics pixel, and NX RNK rank tracking on 7 local keywords. A GHL booking widget sits behind the branded nexl.ca/doyourtax short link, and NX runs the firm's Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn posting.
Private cloud on the firm's own hardware
A Proxmox VE host (Dell tower, Core Ultra 7, 32GB) at the owner's home plus a dedicated Linode in Toronto running n8n, Uptime Kuma, a RustDesk relay, Crowdsec, and a reverse proxy. Vaultwarden, Pi-hole, Glance, and Paperless-ngx run in containers.
Secure access and monitoring
The firm got its own Tailscale network (7 devices), an internal CA issuing HTTPS for 7 short .pa service names, 18 Uptime Kuma monitors with a client status page, a live Glance dashboard with machine stats, and daily local Proxmox backups.
On-prem AI assistant
A 27-file AI brain, 11 skills, 4 SOPs, 3 reference docs, 2 agents, deployed to the firm's server and bind-mounted into the owner's personal AI workstation container, with a compiled skills-and-SOPs pack delivered for the owner's sign-off.
The outcome.
As of June 2026 the core stack is live: the Linode and home-server stacks, the AI brain, HTTPS .pa service names, the secrets store, Kuma and Glance monitoring, and daily local backups, with 2 staff PCs already SSH-managed. Remaining items, the NAS backup layer, GHL/n8n client intake, and email alerts, are staged and gated only on credentials and owner decisions.
