Trust and accountability

GAD Service Standards

These standards explain how GAD aims to scope work, represent qualifications, protect information, communicate progress, handle corrections, and define client responsibilities.

Accurate credentials and service descriptions

GAD will describe the business, tax, bookkeeping, marketing, technology, and operational services it actually provides. Team members will not be presented as CPAs, attorneys, enrolled agents, financial advisers, lenders, or other credentialed professionals unless the credential is verified and approved for display.

Transparent scope and pricing

Before paid work begins, GAD will provide a written scope describing the service, expected deliverables, timing, client responsibilities, price or pricing method, payment terms, and known third-party costs. Work outside the approved scope requires additional approval.

Confidential and secure information handling

GAD will use appropriate access controls and secure client areas for sensitive documents. Public forms, chatbot conversations, and ordinary email should not be used for Social Security numbers, banking details, passwords, authentication codes, government identification, or complete tax records.

Clear updates, questions, and escalation

Clients should receive understandable status updates, requests for missing information, and notice when a deadline, dependency, or third party affects delivery. Questions or concerns may be escalated to an authorized GAD administrator for review.

Professional limits and outside referrals

GAD provides general education, administrative coordination, tax preparation within verified credentials, bookkeeping, and business-development services. Legal opinions, regulated financial advice, lending decisions, investment advice, or specialized matters outside GAD's scope should be handled by an appropriately qualified professional.

No unsafe guarantees

GAD does not guarantee income, profit, financing, investment, grants, tax savings, refunds, lead volume, sales, legal compliance, licensing approval, filing acceptance, or business success. Any written service warranty or correction policy applies only to the exact terms stated in the service agreement.

Corrections and concerns

How to raise a concern

A client should identify the service, deliverable, date, representative, and specific concern. GAD may request supporting information, compare the concern with the approved scope, and document the resolution or next step.

1Contact the assigned GAD representative and describe the issue clearly.
2Allow the representative a reasonable opportunity to review the approved scope and records.
3Request escalation to an authorized administrator when the concern is unresolved or involves access, security, billing, credentials, or professional limits.
4Receive a documented response explaining the correction, clarification, referral, additional scope, or other resolution.

Important: These public standards summarize GAD's intended service approach. The signed agreement for a specific service controls the actual scope, payment terms, deadlines, correction policy, cancellation terms, confidentiality obligations, and responsibilities for that engagement.
