Client ID mixed in with years of tax files? We'll help your practice keep it secure.

  • Clients email ID with their
  • Seasonal or contract staff need
  • Archived client files from years

Accounting practices already hold sensitive financial information, and client ID now sits alongside it: in email, client folders, scanned documents and years of archived files. Busy periods bring extra staff and more documents moving quickly. We help your practice find client ID, store it securely and keep access tight all year round.

Common problems

Where ID ends up in an accounting practice

  • ID sits in client folders next to tax and financial records
  • Clients email ID with their year-end paperwork
  • Seasonal or contract staff need access during busy periods
  • Archived client files from years ago still hold ID
  • Everyone in the practice can open every client folder

Sending returns and financial documents to clients too? See Secure email for sensitive information.

How we fix it

How we help accounting practices

  1. Map how ID comes in

    New clients, new entities, year-end paperwork and scans.

  2. Find it in your files

    Client folders, inboxes and archives.

  3. Restrict access

    ID and sensitive records limited to the people who need them.

  4. Set up secure collection

    A safer way for clients to send ID than email.

  5. Handle temporary staff

    Access that's easy to give for busy periods and remove afterwards.

  6. Tidy old archives

    Old records securely deleted when you confirm they can go.
