The FTC Safeguards Rule requires accounting firms that handle non-public personal financial information to implement specific security controls. This checker walks your firm through every requirement and produces a personalised compliance gap report.
Ten questions across five dimensions — speed, reliability, client experience, automation, and visibility. The audit scores your document collection process out of 100 and generates a personalised report showing exactly where your firm is losing time and what to fix first.
why these exist
Quire exists because document chasing is the biggest operational drain in small accounting practices — and most of the advice out there treats it as inevitable. These tools are built on the same understanding that drives our product: the problem is not your clients. It is the absence of the right infrastructure.
Use them with any tool you already have. They are not a sales funnel — they are resources that stand on their own.
