Scope of Services Services are limited to those expressly described in the agreed Service Proposal. Any additional work outside scope requires written agreement and may incur additional fees.
Engagement of Services Comma Advisory agrees to provide services as outlined in your specific Service Proposal (e.g., Business Foundations, Cashflow Plumbing, or Exit Strategy).
Professional Scope & Limitations Comma Advisory provides business management, operational setup, and strategic consulting services. Please note that Hetas Pandya and Comma Advisory are not Registered Tax Agents, BAS Agents, or Licensed Financial Advisors as defined under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 or the Corporations Act 2001. While we provide assistance with software configuration (e.g., Xero, Zoho), data management, and financial reporting for management purposes, our services do not include the provision of taxation advice, the interpretation of tax laws, or the lodgment of returns with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). All business registrations facilitated through third-party platforms (such as ClearDocs) are completed based on data provided by the Client. We strongly recommend that all clients consult with a qualified Accountant or BAS Agent for specific tax compliance and lodgment requirements.
