To protect you we use the
latest secure socket encryption, secure server technology, backups,
redundant networks, and other technology protections. But the security
does not stop there.

| Access
Protections |
|
|
As tax practitioners we
receive and collect nonpublic personal and business information from
various forms and statements that you provide. We do not disclose such
information, except as instructed to do so by you. Access is restricted
to those professionals who need to know such information to provide
services to you. On occasion limited access to some portions of client
records may be provided to government or professional regulatory
authorities as required by law or regulations for the purpose of
reviewing our firm's compliance with professional ethics, privacy, and
practice standards to assure that we provide the highest quality of
services to you with the maximum protection we can provide.

Control Protections |

Further, we maintain
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with
federal regulations and the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants' professional cannon of ethics to guard your non-personal
information
|
|
| Legal
and Regulatory Protections |
|
|
With the rapid growth of
outsourcing among accounting firms we want to assure you that we keep
all your data on servers in the USA and we use only American tax
preparers in the USA. While this costs us more, you can be certain that
your confidential data is not floating around many third world
companies where there is no law to protect your privacy. Using American
tax experts means that they are subject to strict regulation and will
not take chances with exposing you to heavy fines from sloppy,
unaccountable tax advice and preparation.

| Listing
Protections |
|
|
Even non-clients receive
privacy protection from us. We do not sell, lease or otherwise
disseminate your name or any information about you to any list broker,
other companies, or any other entity for marketing or sales purposes,
whether you are a client or not. We do maintain a list of those who
have voluntarily requested our newsletter or other information, and we
will periodically send out either online or offline information and
solicitations offering our services to those who have expressed an
interest.
|
|
| The
Bottom Line |
|
|
We are fully committed to
protecting your privacy and confidentiality to the fullest extent
possible.
