About the Sabino & Company Secure Client Portal

At Sabino & Company, we take the privacy and security of your information seriously. That is why we use our Secure Client Portal for transmitting confidential tax and financial information with each client. A Portal User ID and login instructions are provided to each Sabino & Company client via email. All documents made available to each client on the Sabino & Company Secure Client Portal can be printed, transferred to another file on your computer, saved on the portal or permanently deleted by you as you see fit.

Login Tips

  • Refer to the emails received from the firm for login information.
  • The Login ID (email address) is not case sensitive; the temporary password provided via email is case sensitive. 
  • You will be required to change your password upon logging in for the first time and answer at least one security question. Your security questions can help you access your portal if you ever forget your password.
  • Your new password may be from 8 to 32 characters in length, must contain at least one alpha character, one numeric character, and one special character (e.g. !, @, #, etc.). The password is case sensitive.
  • Your password may be reset at anytime by clicking “Forgot your password?”
  • If you cannot, or prefer not to, install Silverlight on your machine, click “Take me to the non-Silverlight login” to use our lightweight version of the Portal that does not require Silverlight. Advanced features are not available from the non-Silverlight version of Portal. Alternately, you can access the non-Silverlight login page directly at https://portal.cchaxcess.com/sui.
