Past Results

Statistics on our Site (transactions reconciled, tax savings, years of experience, active clients) reflect aggregate practice outcomes. Past results are not a guarantee of future outcomes. Tax outcomes depend on your specific facts and applicable law at the time of filing.

Engagement Letter Required

A signed engagement letter is required before any tax-preparation, advisory, or representation service begins. The engagement letter defines scope, fees, deliverables, and limitations. Conversations, emails, intake calls, and website content do not constitute an engagement.

Confidentiality

All client information is treated as confidential under AICPA Code of Professional Conduct (Rule 1.700.001), Texas State Board of Public Accountancy rules, and applicable federal law (including IRC § 7216 governing disclosure of tax return information).

Treasury Circular 230 Notice

To ensure compliance with U.S. Treasury Department Circular 230, any U.S. federal tax advice contained in Site content (or in correspondence not formed under a written engagement) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (a) avoiding penalties imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or (b) promoting, marketing, or recommending any transaction or matter addressed.

Affiliate and Software Disclosures

We may reference or recommend specific software tools (Koinly, CoinTracking, etc.). Where a commercial relationship exists with a tool vendor, we disclose it on the relevant page. Our recommendations are based on what we use in practice, not on affiliate compensation.

Anti-Money-Laundering and KYC

For all engagements, we collect and retain identification documents in accordance with applicable AML/KYC and CPA-firm risk-management standards. We reserve the right to decline or terminate any engagement where we cannot verify identity, source of funds, or compliance with applicable law.

Licensing

AKIF CPA is licensed by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. Saim Akif holds an active Texas CPA license. Verification information is available on request and through the Texas State Board’s online license lookup.
