Our website uses two categories of cookies and similar technologies:
Essential cookies: required for core functionality such as remembering your language preference. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 (ID G-6X4S62Z1NS), used to measure anonymous traffic, popular pages, and language preferences. GA4 loads when the site opens; you can block it with browser settings or Google's opt-out add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser storage or by using your browser's Do Not Track setting. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate, and only to the extent necessary:
Google LLC (Google Analytics) — anonymized traffic analytics.
Railway (our hosting provider) — website infrastructure and database hosting.
Secure document portals such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or our client portal — for tax document exchange during an engagement.
The Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, FinCEN, Secretaries of State, and other government agencies — only as required to file your returns and forms on your behalf, and only with your authorization.
We require all providers to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they provide to us. We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers.
We retain tax engagement records for at least seven (7) years after the last filing, as required by IRS rules and our professional responsibilities. Website inquiry data is retained for up to 24 months unless you become a client.
