We all have seen the checklists to help us feel prepared for a natural disaster - food, water, medicine, etc.
Have you ever thought about the tax documents that may be handy to have when severe weather hits? We have a quick list for you. From proving your identity to receiving emergency assistance, this quick six item list will serve you well.
If you don't have any of these documents with you when disaster strikes, call your tax preparer or accountant as they may have copies of several of these items; and they will be able to help you much sooner than an overwhelmed government agency.
Here at The Springer Company, we have multiple on-site and off-site backups of data, partnerships with industry-leading secure document management companies, and procedures in place to make sure in-house original documents are not lost. It's one more way we look beyond the numbers to be your ally.
Keep an eye on the weather, and say safe!

Investing in our planet and the people around us matters.
Did you know that The Springer Company stores our records digitally, reducing our paper use?
Thanks to a fantastic company here in central Oklahoma, we also ensure that the limited paper we use is securely shredded and upcycled into things like paper towels, toilet paper, and other consumer goods. This process not only benefits the environment but also invests in work opportunities for those with developmental disabilities and permanent brain damage.
We want to be more than numbers. We strive to be an ally -- earth included.

There are no words to express the feelings that this date brings to those impacted by or who remember the the events of April 19, 1995. Twenty-nine years later, we still remember the 168 friends, neighbors, Oklahomans lost to an act of senseless violence.
