Commitment

# Accessibility Statement


We want everyone to be able to use everstonecpa.com, including people who use assistive technology. EverStone CPA Inc. is, BC and serves clients across BC — this site should work for every one of them.


**Last updated:** July 2026




## The accessibility standard we aim for

We target the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. In practice that means readable colour contrast, keyboard-navigable menus and forms, descriptive link text and form labels, visible focus states, text that resizes cleanly, and a “skip to content” link on every page.



## What we have done




- Every page has a skip-to-content link, a declared language, and a single clear heading structure.

- Links inside body text are underlined, not signalled by colour alone.

- Interactive controls meet minimum contrast against their background, including hover and focus states.

- Images carry descriptive alternative text, and decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers.

- Forms use real labels tied to their inputs rather than placeholder text alone.

- Tables that are wider than a phone screen scroll horizontally instead of breaking the page.

- Animation respects the operating system’s “reduce motion” setting.



## Known limitations


We are being straightforward about this rather than claiming full conformance:




- Our online booking is provided by a third-party scheduling tool. We do not control its markup, and its accessibility may differ from the rest of the site. If it gives you trouble, email us and we will help directly. You will never be disadvantaged for not using it.

- The embedded map on our contact page is a third-party component with limited keyboard support. Our full address is always written out in text next to it.

- Some longer guides use detailed tables that are easier to read on a larger screen.



## What is actually tested, and what is not

Accessibility is never “done,” and a statement that only says so is not much use. What runs automatically on this site, before anything is published: colour contrast is measured on every page at desktop and phone widths, not on a sample. Every page is checked for horizontal scroll at 390 and 1440 pixels; and an integrity sweep checks alternative text, form labels, heading order and link targets across all of them. Tap targets are measured against the 24-pixel AA minimum, with inline links in prose excluded because WCAG exempts them.

What is **not** tested: this site has never been run through axe-core or any other third-party audit tool, and it has not been tested with a screen reader by someone who uses one daily. Automated checks cannot tell you whether a page makes sense read aloud. So the claim above is a target we measure ourselves against, not a certification — and a problem you report is worth more than any of it.

## Common questions about accessibility here




**What standard does this site aim for?**

WCAG 2.2 at level AA, applied to colour contrast, keyboard access, focus visibility, form labels and text alternatives. Tap targets are held to the AA minimum of 24 pixels, and most controls are considerably larger than that. [Ask us →](https://www.everstonecpa.com/quick-question)



**I use a screen reader. Will the calculators work?**

They are built to. Every input has a real label, results are announced when they change, and nothing depends on colour alone to carry meaning. If one does not work with your setup, tell us which tool and which reader and we will fix it.



**Can I get a document in a different format?**

Yes. If a checklist, guide or engagement document is hard to read in the form it is published, ask and we will send it in a format that works for you at no charge.



**How do I report an accessibility problem?**

Email us with the page and what went wrong. Accessibility defects are treated the same way as any other defect on this site: reproduced, fixed, and the fix checked before it ships.
