Course Description

How your accounting business manages its financial records and connects with its clientele can make a real difference in the success of the business. 

Every accounting firm exchanges financial documents with its clients. However, sending earnings statements and tax documents as email attachments is never a good idea because email is far from being a secure method.

The new era of communication and collaboration between accountants and clients is here. 

Secure web-based information exchange is becoming the norm in the accounting industry

Investigating any technology solution for your business can be overwhelming. 

How do you know if you are asking the right questions and getting the best solution available? 

This CPE E-book will help CPAs and accounting firms understand client portals and to provide a framework for evaluating and selecting a client portal.

Following are the major topics covered in this CPE E-book:

  • Understanding client engagement and document collaboration.
  • Are your current methods of document sharing secure?
  • What are the security obligations imposed by professional standards?
  • How much time does your staff spend chasing client documents?
  • What is a client portal?
  • What are the tips for selecting a client portal site for your accounting firm?


Secure client portal technology has existed for over a decade, on government websites, healthcare, marketing and advertising, and other industries. Improvements in recent years have made client portals even more secure and easier to use, and some portals have features that are particularly useful for accountants and their clients.

Learning Objectives

  • To analyze current methods of document sharing.
  • To help accounting firms understand client portals
  • To discuss a framework for evaluating and selecting a client portal.
