S LLC CorporationWhat a visit is, and when work starts

Who these terms are with

Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. Opening these pages and sending a form counts as acceptance of this page. The limits live on the disclosures page and they are part of these terms. The date is 6 October 2026.

What the pages are

The pages are general reading for an owner who has been handed a mashed label. They are not advice about your numbers, and reading them does not make you a client. Rules move, and they land differently on different facts, so check anything that would change your return before you rely on it.

The free call is a conversation. It creates no engagement, no ongoing duty, and no obligation either way. We will say what we see, including when the honest answer is that you do not need us yet. Paid work starts only when both sides sign a letter that names the scope and the fee.

Scope, fees, and your records

The letter defines the engagement before it starts. The fee matches that scope. Work outside the letter is priced before it is done. Either side may end the engagement in writing. Fees earned to that date remain due, and your records come back.

The close is only as good as the records under it. Complete records, the contents of your own systems, and the decisions you make stay with you. When something does not tie, we say so. A return is not built on a month that is still open.

Words and pictures here belong to the practice that publishes them. You may read, print, and quote with attribution. You may not republish the site or train a product on it without written permission. The site is offered as it stands. We work to keep it accurate, and we do not promise it will never be down. Nothing here limits a liability the law will not let us limit.

Texas law governs these terms. A dispute belongs in the courts of Dallas County, Texas.

The booking page does not load a calendar until you tap the button that asks for it. Opening the page is not a booking. The form is a request for a reply. The signed letter is still the start of work.

A quote covers the scope in the letter. A later request, whether that is older months or a second company someone urged you to form, is priced before anyone starts it. You can stop. We can stop. The records come back either way.

A page that names a certificate or a letter is still general reading. It does not tell you which name belongs on your copy. That answer needs the papers and a conversation. Using the shapes on this site as if they were your return is the mistake these terms exist to prevent.

A figure said on a call is a sketch of scope until the letter exists. The letter is the fee. The sketch is not.
