What a visit is, what a call is, and when the work actually starts.
Effective 29 September 2026.
Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. Reading this site means you have read this page. Questions go to
Nothing on this page sets a fee, and a question about a visit goes to that same number.
You can read every page and hire nobody. The forms and the calendar are a way to start a conversation. A note is not an engagement, and a booked time is not an engagement. The work starts when both sides agree to it in writing.
The pages describe the books, payday setup beside the close, reconciliations, statements, reports, and the return. The months in that return are months the bank has already agreed with. They also describe the decisions that are still open before the year ends. They do not describe a result, a refund, or a smaller bill.
A call or a booked conversation is a chance to name the year, the newest month you will treat as finished, and whether a contract wants a signature this practice will not give. If the contract is asking for that signature, the first minutes are when we say so, and a license holder is who signs it. That limit is written in one place, the disclosures page.
We do not ask you to send a full file before that conversation. If we go ahead, we say what we need and what we will not take. Books that are not closed get closed first, or we decline.
The Comptroller and the Tax Code sections named beside them are the source of the county page and the appraisal page. They are the rows for the kinds of address those pages describe. Your notice can name a different county or a different district. The city name is never the source of the row.
Examples on this site have no client figures in them. A composite year is a shape, not a person. If you recognize your own year in the shape, that is because the shape is common, not because we printed you.
Texas law is the law these terms are read under. There is no office in the city named in the search. A person answers the phone printed in the footer. These pages do not publish an email address or a street.
If a line on this page conflicts with a later engagement letter, the engagement letter governs the work. This page governs the visit.
Rates, dates, and district names on the other pages are general reading from the sources named there. Your notice controls your file. A conversation about that notice is still not the start of the work.
The only writing that starts the work is a later letter. That letter can name the months we will close, the payroll company you already use, and the return we will prepare from those months.
