The presentation was comprehensive, breaking down complex FTC and AICPA requirements into simple, actionable steps. It was clear, concise, and packed with valuable examples.

CPA profession is so regulated that these kind of webinars really make us aware and I really like the way practical points are put forward. And you also tried to cover each situation, nuances, which we as CPA and accounting firm faces. So really thankful to you, Shawn and your team.

The webinar was good, as it brought awareness to managing sensitive client data, particularly regarding third party usage.

Frank Walko

I found the session extremely beneficial. It not only explained technical provisions but also offered actionable steps to ensure compliance and security. 

RK

Reanna Krajcik

Staff Accountant 

The presentation was very informative. We have been MYCPE ONE clients for several years but were not sure of the changing requirements to receive consent to use offshoring to prepare tax returns. Shawn did an excellent job of explaining what we needed to do. Thank you for hosting this very important webinar!

RK

Rebecca Kelly

Owner

We took consent across all clients' firm-wide and saw great success. Clients sign a consent form before receiving organizers, send separately from engagement letters. MYCPE ONE is mentioned, and new clients are informed upfront about our onshore and offshore operations. Only three clients opted for “non-consent,” with higher fees due to government conflicts. We use SafeSend for document deliveries and share a PowerPoint introducing MYCPE ONE as part of our team.
