Service Limitations for Key Forecasts

At Key Forecasts, we strive to provide exceptional accounting, bookkeeping, and financial reporting services tailored to small businesses and nonprofits in California. However, there are certain limitations to our services that clients should be aware of to ensure clarity and mutual understanding.


1. Service Area

  • California Residents Only: Key Forecasts exclusively provides services to businesses and nonprofit organizations located in California. We are not licensed to operate or provide services outside this state.
  • Local Expertise: While we specialize in California-based tax and regulatory compliance, businesses operating in other states or internationally may require additional advice from professionals familiar with those jurisdictions.

2. Client Eligibility

  • Business and Nonprofit Organizations: Our services are designed for small businesses and nonprofit organizations. We do not offer services to individual consumers or minors.
  • Revenue Limitations: We typically serve small businesses with annual revenues between $300,000 and $5 million. Businesses outside this range may not align with the scope of our expertise.

3. Scope of Services

  • Accounting and Bookkeeping Only: Key Forecasts focuses on accounting, bookkeeping, and financial reporting. We do not provide legal advice, investment guidance, or comprehensive financial planning services. For these needs, we recommend consulting with licensed professionals in the respective fields.
  • Tax Preparation Exclusions: While we provide support for financial data and reporting, we do not file tax returns directly. We collaborate with clients and tax professionals to ensure accurate reporting, but the final responsibility for filing lies with the client or their tax preparer.

4. Data and Documentation Requirements

  • Client Responsibility: To provide accurate services, clients must supply complete and accurate financial data, records, and documentation in a timely manner. Delays or errors in provided information may impact the quality and timing of our work.
  • Retention Policies: If we do not receive sufficient documentation, we may be unable to proceed with certain services. Additionally, records are retained according to our retention policy and IRS guidelines, but clients are responsible for maintaining backups of their own data.

5. Third-Party Integration Limitations

  • Third-Party Tools: We use third-party platforms such as Google, Stripe, HubSpot, Calendly, and ContentSnare.com to deliver services. While we carefully select reliable providers, we are not liable for issues arising from these tools, including downtime, data breaches, or errors beyond our control.
  • External Expertise: Services requiring highly specialized tools or integrations beyond our supported platforms may fall outside our scope.

6. Financial Guarantee Disclaimer

  • No Guaranteed Outcomes: While we aim to improve financial processes and reporting accuracy, we cannot guarantee specific financial outcomes, such as increased profits, reduced taxes, or improved credit ratings. Results depend on various factors, including the client’s business practices and compliance.
  • Audit Support: We do not provide guarantees regarding the outcome of financial audits or tax reviews conducted by third parties.

7. Limitations on Communication

  • Consultation Scheduling: Initial consultations are scheduled through Calendly and are subject to availability. Delays may occur during high-demand periods.
  • Response Times: We strive to respond to inquiries within 1-2 business days, but response times may vary based on workload and urgency.

8. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

  • Compliance Focus: Our advice and services are based on California and federal laws as they apply to accounting and financial reporting. Businesses requiring advice on international laws or regulations should consult specialists in those areas.
  • No Legal Representation: Key Forecasts does not provide legal representation or advice. Clients should consult attorneys for legal matters.

9. Termination of Services

  • Right to Decline Services: Key Forecasts reserves the right to decline or terminate services for reasons including non-payment, lack of cooperation, or requests outside our expertise.
  • Mutual Agreement: Clients may terminate services at any time, subject to the terms of their service agreement.

10. Changes to Service Limitations

We reserve the right to update or modify these service limitations at any time. Updates will be posted on our website at keyforecasts.com. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any updated limitations.
