Why we're studying this

Professionals increasingly work across client records, financial documents, business information, external service providers, and AI systems.

As more of that work moves between tools and organizations, deciding what can be shared, with whom, and in what form has become a routine part of the job.

Fieldstone Digital wants to understand how that plays out in practice today: the current workflows people follow, where the friction is, and the privacy considerations that shape their decisions. This study is about understanding the problem, not proposing an answer to it.

Who we’re speaking with

  • Accountants
  • Bookkeepers
  • Tax professionals
  • Small accounting practices

Related professional-service participants may also be considered.

  • Contact is optional

    Requested only if you choose to be available for a follow-up, with separate consent.
