Terms for using this website

About this site

This website is run by Ruled & Bound, the trading name of [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], registered in [COUNTRY]. It describes the tax preparation and bookkeeping support we provide to US CPA and EA firms. By using the site, you agree to these terms.

Information, not professional advice

The site is for general information for accounting firms. Nothing on it is tax, legal, accounting or other professional advice, and using the site does not create a client relationship with us.

Our answer pages explain published rules and cite their sources. They are not legal advice. Rules change, so check the cited sources and ask your own counsel about your firm's arrangements.

Prices and service descriptions on the site are for information and may change. The engagement letter sets what applies to your firm.

Our services

We are not a CPA firm and we do not provide attest services. We prepare work for licensed accounting firms; the firm reviews, signs and files it, and remains responsible for the work it signs.

Any service we provide is governed by a signed engagement letter with your firm. If anything on this website differs from the engagement letter, the engagement letter applies.
