Email is not the best choice to exchange files with clients
Your clients choose you as their accountant because they trust you with their sensitive/private information. Here’s what a client needs to provide you with so you can prepare their tax returns:
… And more!
Many accountants schedule appointments with their clients to exchange these private documents in person. However you still may not have everything you need afterwards, meaning your clients need a way to send you more private information. And of course, you still have to send your clients their tax returns.
You might be surprised how many firms still rely on traditional email to accomplish all of the above! However, email can easily be intercepted or downloaded by the wrong person. Alternatively your firm may have an encrypted email service in place, but can clients easily share your system to send files back to you?
Caring for the privacy of your clients – the simple way!
Offer your clients a free and easy way to send you files, using LeapFILE’s branded file exchange site. With your LeapFILE file exchange site, you receive a website link unique to your company, as well as the ability to brand this site with your company logo and colors.
