Managing a tax preparation firm in Georgia requires balancing at-will employment flexibility under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 with the strict data security mandates of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). Our contracts are specifically engineered for Georgia tax professionals to mitigate E&O liability and IRS penalties related to IRC compliance. By incorporating enforceable restrictive covenants under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50, we help you protect your client list and proprietary tax strategies while ensuring every employee understands their duty to provide accurate returns and maintain confidentiality to prevent identity theft of sensitive client data.
In Georgia, non-compete and non-solicitation clauses are governed by the Restrictive Covenants Act (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq.). To be enforceable, these clauses must be reasonable in duration, geographic area, and the scope of prohibited activities. For tax firms, this typically means protecting client lists and preventing the solicitation of existing taxpayers you served during the preceding tax season.
Yes. Treasury Department Circular 230 sets the standards for practice before the IRS. Our contracts include performance expectations and compliance clauses that require employees to adhere to these ethical and professional standards, mitigation of errors and omissions, and the mandatory maintenance of a valid Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN).
Under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, Georgia is an at-will state, meaning either party can terminate the relationship for any legal reason. Our agreement clarifies this status while still allowing for specific termination protocols to handle breach of confidentiality or failure to follow data protection policies mandated by the FTC.
Our contract includes specific liability limitation and indemnity clauses. These define the employee's responsibility for quality control and outline the firm's recourse if an employee's negligence leads to E&O claims or IRS-imposed penalties on the firm for non-compliance with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
