Written Non-Solicitation & Ethics

1. Strict Non-Solicitation: We execute formal non-solicitation covenants before taking on client work. We never compete for your tax or assurance mandates.

3. Seamless AJE Posting: We enter your year-end adjusting journal entries immediately, so the general ledger stays in harmony with the tax returns.

Partner Inquiries

Frequently asked questions from accounting firms

Do you sign a formal written Non-Solicitation Covenant?

Yes. Every firm collaboration is governed by a legally binding Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement. We specialize strictly in bookkeeping, payroll, and controllership—we never solicit or compete for your tax preparation, compilation assurance, or corporate planning mandates.

In what format do you deliver year-end files to our firm?

We provide complete Caseware-compatible trial balance exports (.csv / .cwk), indexed PDF working paper binders with hyperlinked source documents, and detailed lead sheets with explanatory adjusting journal entry notes.

Can we engage ML Financials on a white-label basis?

Yes. We offer both direct client referral arrangements (where we communicate with the client directly as an accredited partner) and silent white-label arrangements (where all deliverables and communications carry your firm’s branding).

How do you handle post-closing CPA adjusting journal entries (AJEs)?

Once your firm finishes your compilation and generates year-end AJEs, we promptly book them into the client's general ledger (QBO / Xero / Sage) to ensure retained earnings and opening balances match your corporate tax filing perfectly.
