Frequently asked
How do I know clients will be properly cared for?
Clients are assigned to a dedicated CA or CPA, not a call centre. Your personal endorsement in the introduction carries the relationship through the transition.

Every arrangement is structured around your situation, timeline and goals. We discuss details confidentially.
Can I stay involved after the transition?
Entirely your choice. Some partners remain senior advisors for specific clients; others step away within months.
