Terms of Use
Last updated: . These terms govern your use of everstonecpa.com. By using this site you agree to them.
On this page
These terms are informational only
Content on this website is general information, not professional advice. Tax and accounting outcomes depend on your specific facts. Nothing here creates a CPA–client relationship — that begins only with a signed engagement. Any calculators or estimators are rough guides only and should be confirmed with us before you rely on them.
No guarantee of results
We work hard for every client, but cannot guarantee specific tax savings or outcomes, which depend on your circumstances and CRA rules.
Fees and engagements
Our fixed fees are quoted after a consultation and confirmed in a written engagement. The quote you accept is the price for the agreed scope; scope changes are agreed before additional work.
Intellectual property
The site’s content, branding and design are owned by EverStone CPA and may not be copied without permission.
External links
We link to third-party sites (such as the CRA or our booking tool) for convenience; we are not responsible for their content.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, EverStone CPA is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of this website. Professional services are governed by your engagement letter.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada.

Quick answer: Nothing on this site is advice on your situation and reading it does not make you a client. A professional relationship begins only when a written engagement letter is signed by both sides. The figures published here are researched and sourced but general, and the engagement letter, not this page, defines what has been agreed.
What an engagement covers, and what it does not
Every engagement here begins with a letter that states the work, the fee and the period it covers. That letter, not this page and not any email before it, defines what has been agreed. Where work falls outside it — a second corporation, a prior year that turns out to be unfiled, a CRA review of a year we did not prepare — it is quoted separately before it starts rather than added to an invoice afterwards.
A compilation engagement carries no assurance, and the statements say so on their face. That is not a disclaimer buried in these terms; it is the standard the work is performed to, and it is the reason a compilation costs what it does. Where a reader of the statements needs assurance, a review or an audit engagement is a different piece of work with a different standard and a different fee.
Communication and records
Email is the ordinary channel and it is not secure by nature, so anything carrying identifying detail moves by secure upload link instead. Records you provide remain yours; working papers prepared to produce the return or the statements remain ours, which is the normal position in the profession. Copies of anything filed on your behalf are available to you at any time, during the engagement or after it ends.
