SmartVault was founded by a group of business software executives,

including former BindView CEO and founder Eric Pulaski.

SmartVault provides an affordable, easy-to-use web-based service that enables users to securely store and share QuickBooks files and scanned paper documents.

This past June, SmartVault invited small business owners and accounting professionals to participate in a free pilot program. The results from the pilot program proved successful and the program went live today.

Users in the pilot program were very pleased with the features that SmartVault had to offer including the seamless integration into QuickBooks and the paperless storage of documents. Valerie Kile, a small business owner states "I love the speed and ease of attaching documents, and the quick retrieval time to view documents is great."

Accounting professionals were also impressed that SmartVault gave them the ability to share documents with their clients quickly and easily. "SmartVault is going to change the way I do business. I love being able to attach documents to transactions, and I'm really looking forward to using it to collaborate with my clients," said Nancy Engst, CPA.

"SmartVault is the smartest way to store and share documents, enabling accountants and other financial professionals to go paperless quickly and easily," said Pulaski. "SmartVault is the first to offer a simple, effective, low-cost solution that protects against data loss with off-site backups and disaster recovery."

SmartVault promises to save time and reduces costs, enabling users to attach documents to accounting transactions for instant online access, share accounting documents online with business and financial advisors, safeguard data with regularly scheduled offsite backups, and scan, store, and search paper documents electronically.

SmartVault was built with collaboration features in mind to help practicing accountants work faster and smarter with their clients. These capabilities include a portal that allows accountants to view client summary information and "hot issues" at a glance, and the ability to store and share QuickBooks data and documents between end users and their accounting professionals without the need for large email attachments or USB drives.
