CPA Firms Houston Now Alternative How a first call works

Who these terms are with.

Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. Staying on these pages means you accept the limits written here, including the line that attest work goes to a firm that can sign it. What we do not do is set out on the Disclosures page, and those limits are part of these terms. Effective 5 October 2026.

What the pages are

Everything on this site is general reading for an owner. Reading a page does not advise your own file, and it does not make you a client of this practice. A rule can change, and it can land differently on two businesses, so check a date that matters for your return before you rely on a page.

A short call creates no engagement, no ongoing duty, and no obligation on either side. We will say what we see and what an engagement would involve, including when the honest answer is that you do not need one yet. Paid work starts only after both sides sign a scope and a fee for this practice.

Each engagement for this practice is written down before the first month starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted before it is done. Either side can end the engagement with a written note, and work already done stays billed as agreed. Fees for the months already closed stay due, and the books plus the source files come back to you with the labels still on them.

The work is only as good as the records it is built on. The records in your own systems, and the decisions you make from them, stay yours. When a total does not match the bank we say so, and we do not prepare a return from a month that is still open.

The words and pictures on this site belong to the practice that publishes it. You may read them and quote them with attribution. Do not copy this site into another product, and do not use these pages to train a model, unless we agree in writing.

Dates on this site are general. A waiver, a holiday shift, or a district rule can move a filing, and the office that publishes the waiver is the one we follow. We do not invent a waiver for a storm, a weekend, or a busy week. If you need a date for your own return, the engagement is where that date gets confirmed.

Examples are illustrations. They are not a client, not a result, and not a promise. When a page says a scene is made up, treat every figure in that scene as made up. Do not hand an illustration to a lender or to a taxing office.

You will not be enrolled in a mailing list because you read a page. A form is a request for a conversation, and a booking is a request for a time. You can ignore either one after you send it, and we can too, until a written engagement exists.

If a page and a signed engagement ever disagree, the engagement controls. If a page and a taxing office disagree, the office controls. This page does not limit a right you have under Texas law that cannot be limited by a website.

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Texas. A dispute about these pages is heard in Dallas County, Texas, where the practice sits. Reading a page does not create a duty to prepare a month, a return, or a filing. The duty starts with the written engagement. The phone in the footer is how you ask about these terms.
