Secure Client Portal

Protecting your tax and financial and other sensitive information is our utmost concern. This is especially true when exchanging and managing documents online. Regardless of size, all accounting firms must comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.

The GLBA was enacted to protect consumers' private financial information and governs the collection and disclosure of clients' financial information by CPAs, accountants and tax preparers. It includes severe civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance.

Our Client Portal allows you to safely and conveniently exchange sensitive documents with us. Your data is protected in extremely secure environments. Multiple layers of security are applied to all servers and the most sensitive data is further protected by eight additional security layers. All these advanced security measures are compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley, as required by law.

Sharkansky LLP is committed to protecting the online privacy of its visitors.  Please contact us at lkhalek@sharkcpa.com if you have any questions or would like more details about our security policy.
