Your privacy is critically important to us. CPATalent.com (?CPA Talent?) provides career services, consulting, coaching, and training. It is CPA Talent?s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, CPA Talent collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. CPA Talent?s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how CPA Talent?s visitors use its website. From time to time, CPA Talent may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

CPA Talent also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the site. CPA Talent only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

The CPA Talent Premium Access Library, Online Job Search Training for Busy Accountants

The Premium Access Library is…

  • The best place to learn everything you need to know to build a successful accounting career.
  • A place to ask questions and learn from someone who’s worked in accounting, and been in your shoes.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by CPA Talent and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

FTC Disclosure

You may not know this, but the FTC requires that all web sites tell you about how they earn revenue. This is doubly true if the site ever offers products for sale, or provides readers with links to useful products/services. For example, if someone takes me out to a big fancy lunch to thank me for telling my readers about a new CPA exam course, I should disclose that.

To cover myself legally, and keep the site easy for you to read and use, I?m creating a this “one-stop-shop” disclosure here. You can assume it applies to the entire site. Here goes: If you see a link from CPA Talent related to products or services, assume that CPA Talent or its affiliates are receiving a reasonable commission if you choose to buy something. Examples of commissions include a commission on an Amazon.com purchase, a t-shirt, lunch, or a percentage of the sale. Do your research, and never buy anything (online or offline) without checking if it?s a good fit for you.

I’m a CPA, but I’m Not Your CPA
