Accounting Firms Shredding Services
Industry Solutions
Accuracy and confidentiality are the pillars of the accounting profession. Clients entrust firms with their most sensitive financial data, from tax returns to corporate audits. Retaining this information beyond its useful life, however, introduces significant risk. Every box of old client files or outdated hard drives is a potential point of failure for data security. TITAN Mobile Shredding provides a secure and compliant destruction service designed for the specific needs of accounting firms. We help you uphold your fiduciary duty by ensuring confidential information is irretrievably destroyed.
Safeguarding Information in Accounting Firms
Your firm manages a constant stream of highly confidential financial documents. This includes bank statements, investment details, payroll records, and proprietary business information. A single instance of improper disposal can lead to client data exposure, regulatory penalties, and a severe loss of professional standing. A professional shredding service establishes a documented and secure process, guaranteeing that all sensitive materials are completely obliterated. By formalizing your firm’s destruction policy, you reinforce the commitment to client confidentiality that your reputation is built on.
The risk extends beyond client-facing documents. Internal records like audit workpapers, staff payroll, and strategic planning documents also contain sensitive information. Making secure shredding a routine part of your firm’s operations is a critical control for mitigating the risk of fraud and information leaks.
Document Destruction That Fits Accounting Needs
From sole practitioners to large, multi-partner firms, every accounting practice has a unique workflow. TITAN Mobile Shredding provides a suite of services that can be tailored to match the specific volume and security requirements of any accounting business.
Scheduled Shredding
The daily activities in a busy accounting office generate a steady flow of paper that requires secure handling. Our scheduled service places locked collection bins strategically throughout your office. Your staff can easily deposit sensitive papers, and our uniformed technicians arrive on a regular schedule to empty the bins and shred the contents.
One-Time Shredding
Accounting firms frequently need to conduct large-scale clear-outs, especially after tax season or when document retention periods expire. Our one-time purge service is perfect for these situations. We can efficiently remove and destroy years of archived records, freeing up valuable office space and eliminating the liability associated with storing old data.
On-Site Shredding
For ultimate assurance, our on-site shredding service brings the destruction process directly to your office. A specialized mobile shredding vehicle processes your documents at the curb under your supervision. This service is ideal for disposing of documents related to litigation support or high-net-worth client files where an unbroken chain of custody is paramount.
Hard Drive Destruction
A great deal of financial data resides on electronic media, including old computer hard drives, servers, and backup tapes. Simply wiping these devices does not guarantee the data is gone forever. Our digital media destruction service physically destroys these items, rendering them completely inoperable and the data on them unrecoverable.
Meeting Regulatory Requirements
The accounting profession is governed by a complex web of regulations that dictate how client information must be protected and eventually destroyed. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines, professional sanctions, and lasting reputational harm. Secure document destruction is a non-negotiable component of regulatory adherence.
Key Compliance Standards
- GLBA: The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires financial institutions, including accounting firms, to have safeguards in place to protect client information from unauthorized access, both during use and disposal.
- FACTA: The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act includes a disposal rule that mandates the secure destruction of any documents containing consumer information to prevent identity theft.
- State-Specific Privacy Laws: Numerous states have enacted their own stringent data privacy laws that include specific requirements for the secure destruction of personal and financial information.
Using a professional shredding service provides a clear audit trail and helps ensure your firm remains in good standing with all relevant authorities.

Please note not all 95 gallon recycling totes will work with their truck. Some are too wide. We found out the hard way and had to move some papers into their slimmer and taller 95 gallon tote. The more common 65 gallon recycling sized totes will be no problem!
I'm writing to provide an updated review of the excellent service we've received from Titan over the past year or two, with a special mention of Albert, whom I had the pleasure of meeting today, and Brendan, who has been consistently servicing our office.
As always, Titan's team is professional and courteous, ensuring all steps are confirmed with us before accessing our building and handling any materials. We truly appreciate that you often go the extra mile to assist with any issues related to our bins, including overfilled ones, or when we simply need some extra attention. The individuals we've worked with have consistently been exceptional.
Today, I met Albert, and I was immediately impressed by his professional demeanor and his willingness to help and resolve any concerns. He took the time to confirm the bin numbers and asked if I needed anything further or had any updates. He even offered his assistance with a key issue I was experiencing with one of the bins. Albert introduced himself as a long-term member of the company and clearly explained the purpose of his visit, proceeding with efficiency. His welcoming attitude was sincerely appreciated, and we look forward to his continued support, along with the rest of the team, during the upcoming pickups this month.
Brendan has been a familiar face at our office for quite some time, and his consistent professionalism is commendable. He even shared a good sense of humor during his visit today! Brendan is knowledgeable about our office and always does a fantastic job. We appreciate his patience, punctuality, and his thoroughness in confirming everything. It was a pleasure seeing him today, and I wanted to ensure he was included in this updated feedback. Your team members are always a joy to have visit our office.
