Information we receive from others‍
With your authorization, we may receive information from third parties such as your financial institutions, payroll and accounting software providers, prior tax preparers, and federal and state tax agencies.

Information collected on our website
Our website uses Google Analytics, which uses cookies to collect information such as your browser type, device, pages visited, and approximate location based on IP address. We use this information to understand how visitors use our website and to improve it.

How we use information 
‍
- To provide the services you engage us for, including bookkeeping, payroll processing, and tax preparation and filing.

- To verify identity and to help detect and prevent fraud.
- To bill for our services.
- To comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.
- To maintain and improve our website.

We use and disclose tax return information only as permitted by Section 7216 of the Internal Revenue Code and its regulations. When the law requires your written consent before we use or disclose your tax return information, we will ask for that consent separately, and we will not use or disclose the information for that purpose unless you provide it.

How we share information
‍

‍We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not share it with other companies for their own marketing. We share information only as described below.
- Service providers. We use outside companies to help us deliver our services, such as accounting, payroll, and tax software, practice management, secure file storage, communications, meeting transcription, and payment processing. We share only the information needed for them to perform their services, and we require them to protect it and use it only for those services.
- Service providers outside the United States. Some of our service providers may be located outside the United States.
- Tax and government agencies. We share information with the Internal Revenue Service and state and local agencies as needed to file returns and reports and to represent you as you direct.
- At your direction. We share information with others when you ask or authorize us to, such as your lender, attorney, or other advisors.
- Legal requirements and protection. We may disclose information to comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, to respond to regulators, or to protect against fraud.
- Business transfers. If our business is sold or merged, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.

Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some kinds of sharing. Because we share information only as described above, as permitted by law, we do not offer an opt-out. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and notify you before sharing your information in a new way.
