CPAs, like all providers of personal financial services, have been required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. CPAs have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are more stringent than those required by law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy.

In all such situations, we request your authorization in advance and stress the confidential nature of information being shared.
