Profile
Law, Redd, Crona & Munroe (LRC&M), established in 1978, has achieved a reputation for high quality accounting, tax and consulting services to clients in Tallahassee, Florida and throughout Florida. Our knowledge of the business environment in which our clients operate allows us to understand thoroughly each client's needs and to tailor our services to meet their expectations.
LRC&M is one of the largest and fastest growing Tallahassee CPA firms. Because of our commitment to a "working partner" philosophy, each LRC&M client benefits from the knowledge and experience that comes with having partners and senior management professionals involved in each project on a daily basis.
LRC&M's goal is to provide our clients with the high-quality service they need to solve their problems. To that end, our team of professionals work together to deliver to each client a complete solution based on our full range of services including accounting and audit, tax, information systems and management consulting. Our full-service capabilities allow us to help clients with diverse business interests respond to the complexities of operating in a quickly changing business environment.
We extensively use state-of-the-art technological tools in our everyday work process. These tools enable us to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity for each project, allowing us to spend less time compiling and processing information and more time on analysis and assisting our clients with process improvement. Our goal is for our services to complement and support your business, not slow it down. In the office, each of our personnel is provided with direct phone lines and email accounts for quick accessibility. In the field, our mobile computing strategy brings together email, remote information, and application access in a unified environment.
Our personnel are equipped with laptop computers, which have all the necessary research tools incorporated into the basic software package. Laptops (and desktops located in our main office) have anti-virus and anti-spyware software to enhance their security.
To remotely connect to our office, our authorized personnel use Terminal Services. Terminal Services allows access to information quickly and permits us to swiftly deploy email and essential programs to our remote employees. Access to information on the servers is protected using NFTS permissions to prohibit unauthorized access. An additional piece of our mobile computing strategy is the use of a private client portal and secure email transfer. This portal will allow us to communicate and make critical documents available instantly to our clients and the secure email transfer will allow encrypted uploads and downloads of documents between our clients and personnel.
Our data security protocol includes several layers of security that protect our client's data. External access is protected by a Layer 7 Firewall that handles intrusion detection, gateway virus filtering, and web filtering for malicious content. The firewall generates logs at four-hour intervals that are emailed to LRCM's Network Manager for review. Full backups are completed nightly with redundant offsite storage. Windows updates are completed after proper testing of patches have occurred. This process properly secures the environment along with preventing software issues from updates that are incompatible with custom software. The server room and rack are secured with lock and key/keypad entry. Passwords are changed every 60 days with a minimum of eight (8) characters and complex password requirements. The system is also set to remember six (6) previous passwords to ensure that the same passwords are not repeated. These multiple layers of security combine to provide a secure environment.
At LRC&M quality is our number one commitment. We are proud of our reputation as a firm with high-quality standards and a comprehensive internal review program. Our various quality control procedures are also important to our clients because these procedures ensure a uniformly high standard of professional service.
In addition to our comprehensive internal procedures, the firm has undergone triennial external peer reviews since 1990. These reviews have resulted in unqualified opinions.
At LRC&M, we provide clients with essential accounting, auditing, data processing, financial planning, business consulting, and tax services. Although our clients are primarily located in North Florida, we provide services throughout the United States and the Caribbean. Clients range from individuals and "start-up" organizations to entities with tens of millions in annual revenues.
