5. Scope of services and engagement

The information on this Website is a general description of our capabilities and does not, by itself, create a binding agreement to provide Services.

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed Engagement, the terms of the Engagement will prevail for that work.

We provide accounting and finance support services to professional firms and businesses.

7. Confidentiality and data protection

We treat the information you share with us as confidential and use it only to deliver the Services and to operate our business. We apply organisational and technical safeguards designed to protect that information against unauthorised access, disclosure or loss. We will not sell your data and will only disclose it where required to provide the Services, where you have authorised us to do so, or where disclosure is required by law.

Our handling of personal information is described more fully in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Each party agrees to comply with the data protection obligations that apply to it.
