We are always looking for great ways to reduce our impact on the environment as well as reduce waste. In September of 2011, we started our "Green Initiative" which is our way of doing our part to go green and reduce our impact on the environment. Our first objective was to reduce the amount of paper we use; over 40% of wood pulp goes toward the production of paper and the reduction of paper also reduces greenhouse gases: 40 reams of paper amounts to 1.5 acres of pine forest absorbing carbon for a year. Since September, we have implemented a novel new service called HelloSign which allows all of our clients to receive, sign and return documents such as intake packets, worksheets and even legal documents remotely and electronically.

All documents are digital and the signing process is easy and only requires a mouse or even just your finger to sign if you're on a mobile device. We have seen more than a 50% reduction of our paper usage! Which not only helps reduce the impact on our environment but helps us reduce our overhead, helping us continue to offer competitive prices to our favorite people, you, the clients!
