Accountably’s Editorial Process
and Standards
Accountably helps US CPA, EA, and accounting firms hire trained accountants and tax preparers in India.
Accountably was founded by a US-licensed CPA with 7+ years inside US firms. Our content reflects what we’ve learned doing this work.
Our readers are partners, firm owners, and managers making decisions about how to build their teams. They need accurate, practical information to make confident, informed decisions about hiring talent in India. Others come to our IRS form guides and glossary with a form or a term to work through.
That’s why every article we publish goes through a structured editorial process and has to meet our internal standards before it reaches you.
Our content is written by Accountably, and every article says so in its byline.
These articles draw on primary sources, such as IRS forms, instructions, and publications.
Every article is reviewed by a US-licensed CPA, and the reviewer is named on the page:
- Jugal Thacker, CPA, Founder and CEO of Accountably. A Washington-licensed CPA with 7+ years inside US firms – PwC, real-estate tax, full-service.
During editorial review, each piece is evaluated for:
- Accuracy: Are the claims, statistics, and recommendations well-sourced and factually correct?
- Relevance: Does this actually address what our readers are trying to figure out?
- Alignment: Does it reflect the services Accountably offers and the realities of the market?
- Clarity: Is it written in plain language that a busy partner can read and act on?
Each IRS form guide and article also follows our written standards. An IRS form guide, for example, opens with the reader’s situation rather than a sales pitch, and every number, date, or form reference in that opening has to match a fact already checked elsewhere on the page.
Facts are checked against their sources, and no article goes live, or changes once it is live, without a person approving it.
We don’t publish claims we can’t support.
- Statistics and data points come from primary sources – IRS forms, instructions, and publications, Treasury regulations, and Bureau of Labor Statistics data – and the source is named in the text, for example “according to IRS Publication 1304”.
- US salary comparisons use the Bureau of Labor Statistics median pay for the matching occupation, re-checked on bls.gov.
- IRS form guides are checked against the IRS’s own forms and instructions.
- Where we cite third-party data, we name the source in plain text rather than linking to it, so article bodies carry no external links.
Tax rules and the hiring market for accountants move quickly. Thresholds change, IRS forms are revised, and deadlines shift.
We review and update our articles to make sure the information you’re reading reflects where things stand today.
Every page shows a “Last updated” date, and the date moves when the page’s content changes.
We don’t accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage or recommendations. If we ever publish sponsored content, it is clearly labeled as such.
Our content frequently covers topics like IRS forms and filing deadlines, employee/contractor classification, and payroll compliance in the US.
This information is reviewed for accuracy but is not a substitute for tax or legal advice.
Our IRS form guides, our glossary entries, and most of our blog articles carry this note: “This article is educational, not tax advice. Rules change, and states differ. Confirm thresholds, deadlines, and elections against the current IRS instructions for your year and facts.”
We recommend consulting a qualified tax or legal professional for decisions specific to your situation.
If you spot something that looks out of date or inaccurate, we want to know.
Reach out to us at editorial@accountably.com, and we’ll review it promptly.
When we correct a page, the change moves its “Last updated” date.
