THE PROFIT PATH™ MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATIONS

The Bottom Line® CPA offers a CPA-supported, DIY bookkeeping, tax, and profit mentoring solution known and trademarked as The Profit Path™ (also referred to as TPP MEMBER) to fit the diverse needs of the online entrepreneurs and retailers it serves.  To ensure the overall success of the program and to create a true partnership with our clients,

Your monthly TPP Membership election will automatically renew for a full 30 days from the date purchased.  This is your billing date and will continue on a monthly basis until notice of cancellation has been provided.  Your renewal date will be the data of your initial purchase and each 30 days renewed thereafter.

In the event you wish to cancel your TPP Membership you may do so in writing via email to help@theprofitpath.net.  A 30-day written notice is required in order to cancel your TPP Membership.

You will no longer be charged or responsible for any service fees once the 30-day notice has been completed.  All system access and/or financial records maintained or collected by The Bottom Line® CPA will be returned to the client in their entirety for further maintenance and storage.

This will likely involve client's direct assumption of and transfer from The Bottom Line® CPA for the  monthly subscription services to Xero, Hubdoc, and/or ReceiptBank along with any other cloud-based applications that were inclusive to the program and used to maintain client financial information and/or records in order to continue established and existing financial processes without change or interruption.

Member’s assumption will be at the current monthly retail rate established by Xero, Hubdoc, ReceiptBank, and/or any other cloud-based application for the plan necessary for client's needs and/or financial volume/activity.
