CPAs, like all providers of personal financial services, are now 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 even more stringent than those required by law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy.

Types of Non-Public Personal Information We Collect

We collect non-public personal information about you that is provided to us by you or obtained by us with your authorization.

Parties to Whom We Disclose Information

For current and former clients, we do not disclose any non-public personal information obtained in the course of our practice except as required or permitted by law.

In all such situations, we stress the confidential nature of information being shared.
