Terms and Conditions

Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms and Conditions form an agreement between the person accessing this website, referred to as “you” or “the user,” and Priti Lad Professional Corporation, referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” or “the firm.”

Your use of the website constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. These terms apply to visitors, prospective clients, existing clients and all other website users.

If you access the website on behalf of a corporation, partnership or another organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these terms on behalf of that organization.

Purpose of the Website

This website provides general information about Priti Lad Professional Corporation, the professional services that may be available and topics related to accounting, bookkeeping, taxation, financial reporting, business operations and related matters.

Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to provide advice tailored to any individual, business, transaction, tax position or financial circumstance.

Services described on the website may not be available in every situation and may be subject to acceptance procedures, identity verification, conflict checks, capacity and a separate written engagement agreement.

No Professional or Client Relationship

Visiting this website, reading its content, sending an email, submitting a contact form or requesting an appointment does not create an accountant-client, adviser-client, fiduciary, professional or other formal relationship.

A professional relationship is established only after the firm has accepted the engagement and the parties have completed any required onboarding, identity verification, conflict review and written engagement documentation.

No Accounting, Tax, Legal or Financial Advice

Information on this website does not constitute accounting, tax, legal, investment, financial, insurance or other professional advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice based on your specific circumstances.

Tax rules, accounting requirements, government programs and regulatory obligations may change and may apply differently depending on relevant facts, dates, jurisdictions and transactions.

You should consult an appropriately qualified professional before making a decision, taking action or refraining from action based on information appearing on this website.

Professional Engagements and Service Agreements

Any professional services provided by Priti Lad Professional Corporation will be governed by a separate engagement letter, proposal, service agreement or other written arrangement.

That agreement may address matters including:
