Just an item of information – I have been safeguarding my client data since opening my practice. It includes encription, password protection and multiple cloud and hardrive backups so that everything is protected. Check with your preparer and make sure they do the same. If not, call or email me and we can talk about what I can do for you.
Remember, for financial, accounting and tax musings,
You can count on us to count for you!
