Just like you lock the gate on the farm, (or the door to your business premises), as your accountant, we need to do our bit to protect you and your business from identity fraud. 

We are 100% committed to keeping your details safe and right from the outset. When you commence services with Smith Shearer – and any time throughout our engagement – we may need to verify your proof of identity.

Important Note About Copies of ID

We can't take photos or scans of your ID over email, and just so you know, we don't keep copies of your ID documents once we've had a look. It’s a quick check and then we’re on our way.

We believe it's vital to keep you informed and everything transparent about how we work. If you fancy a deeper dive into our obligations and your rights as a client, you can visit the Tax Practitioners Board website here: https://www.tpb.gov.au
