The aXe Firefox plug-in from Deque is pretty easy to use with a screen reader.
http://www.deque.com/products/axe/
When I was with Deque I wrote a guide on using FireEyes II with Jaws
(aXe is a subset of FireEyes II, same instructions minus the ability
to switch between rule sets and export the results):
https://dequeuniversity.com/guide/fireeyes-ii/1.1/introduction/jaws

I know people have been able to use Wave with Chrome, but personally I
have never had success doing it.
I loved Wave for Firefox but sadly I don't think another plug-in is
forthcoming (and I would be happy is someone proved me wrong on this).

As for the original question. The only tool I know off that does SEO
as well as accessibility is Siteimprove
But I have not tested the qulity of their accessibility testing nor do
I know whether it works behind a firewall (I would assume it does,
given the nature of the software).
Good luck.
