MONTHLY ACCOUNTING SERVICE PACKAGE CANCELLATIONS

The Bottom Line CPA offers a range of flat-rate monthly accounting packages to fit the diverse needs of the online entrepreneurs and retailers it serves.  There are no long-term contracts or commitments when signing up for any one of these monthly packages.

Your monthly accounting packages automatically renew for a full 30 days on the first of every month.  In the event you wish to cancel your monthly accounting service package you may do so in writing via email to care@thebottomlinecpa.com.  A 30-day written notice is required in order to cancel your accounting package.
