The story of DFW AccountTools is about four talented leaders with a vision coming together at just the right time to create a security and automation company like no other. The process began in the early 90’s when each of our founders were working separately in the DFW home security industry. Over the next decade, they each played different roles and gained different experiences ranging from marketing and sales, installation and service, billing and funding, to customer service and operations. It turns out, these respected leaders were the perfect combination to offer high quality security at fair prices, and eventually enter into the world of smart technology together. DFW AccountTools continues to expand, and we’re thankful to be an integral part of the Dallas-Fort Worth community and beyond. Vision: To be the most trusted provider of cutting-edge security and video technology. Mission: To provide value and peace of mind to our community and employees.
