Financial Account Access

When necessary to provide accounting and bookkeeping services, clients may authorize SBS to connect financial accounts to approved accounting or financial-management platforms.

Unless separately authorized in writing, this access is intended for viewing, reconciliation, reporting, and record-keeping purposes.

Vendor payments, payroll, or other outgoing transactions requiring client approval will be submitted to the client for authorization before processing in accordance with the client's service agreement.

Clients are responsible for protecting their usernames, passwords, and other login credentials.

How We Share Information

SBS does not sell clients' personal information.

We may share information only when reasonably necessary to provide requested services, including with authorized accounting or payroll platforms, financial institutions, payment processors, software providers, attorneys, CPAs, tax preparers, insurance professionals, lenders, or other service providers involved in a client's matter.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, court order, governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect SBS, our clients, or others.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information entrusted to us.

However, no electronic communication, online platform, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
