Template notice: review before publication

This page is a starting framework drafted for a professional services website. It has not been reviewed by an attorney and does not account for every obligation that may apply to this firm, including state privacy statutes, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and FTC Safeguards Rule obligations that apply to tax preparers, IRS Publication 4557 requirements, and any professional body rules. Have counsel review and adapt it before the site goes live, and delete this notice once that is done.

Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026. This policy explains what information Hudson Financial & Risk Solutions LLP ("Hudson", "we", "us") collects through this website, how it is used, and the choices available to you. It covers this website only. Information you provide to us in the course of a professional engagement is governed by your engagement letter and by our obligations as a licensed CPA firm.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us. When you submit the contact form or subscribe to the newsletter, we collect the details you enter, typically name, company, email address, telephone number, the service you selected, and the content of your message.
  • Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server log data such as IP address, browser type, referring page and timestamps. This is used for security and to understand aggregate traffic patterns.
  • Cookies and analytics. This website does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If analytics are enabled, they are configured to collect aggregate usage data rather than to identify individual visitors.

How we use it

  • To respond to your inquiry and, where relevant, to discuss a possible engagement
  • To send the newsletter, where you have asked to receive it
  • To maintain the security and integrity of the website
  • To meet legal, regulatory and professional record-keeping obligations

We do not sell, rent or trade your information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers who help us operate (website hosting, email delivery and, where used, a secure document exchange platform), each bound to handle it confidentially and only on our instructions. We may also disclose information where required by law, court order or professional regulatory obligation.

How long we keep it

Inquiries that do not become engagements are retained for a limited period and then deleted. Newsletter subscriptions are retained until you unsubscribe. Records relating to professional engagements are retained in line with our record retention policy and applicable professional and legal requirements.

Security

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold. That said, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. Please do not send financial records, tax identification numbers, account numbers or other sensitive documents through the contact form or by ordinary email. We will provide a secure upload link when documents are needed.

Your choices

  • Unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any edition
  • Ask us what information we hold about you, and ask for it to be corrected or deleted, by emailing hello@hudsonfrs.com
  • Set your browser to refuse cookies. The site will continue to function

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law. Contact us and we will tell you what applies.

Children

This website is directed to businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Terms of use

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

No professional relationship

Using this website, reading its content or submitting an inquiry does not create a client relationship between you and Hudson Financial & Risk Solutions LLP. A professional relationship is created only by a signed engagement letter setting out the scope, the fee and the terms of the work.

Ownership

All content on this site (text, graphics, layout, code and the Hudson name and marks) is owned by Hudson Financial & Risk Solutions LLP or used with permission. You may read, print and share it for your own reference. You may not republish it commercially, present it as your own, or use it to train a model or build a derivative work without written permission.

External links

Where we link to other websites, we do so because we believe the destination is useful. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices.

Availability

We aim to keep the site available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, and we may change or remove content at any time without notice.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hudson Financial & Risk Solutions LLP is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website or its content.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Professional disclaimer

Read this before acting on anything published here

The content on this website (including articles, guides, checklists, calendars and answers to questions) is provided for general information only. It does not constitute accounting, tax, audit, legal or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for a professional engagement.

Specifically:

  • Every situation is different. The right answer depends on your entity type, jurisdiction, industry, size, ownership structure and the specific facts. General guidance that is correct for most readers may be wrong for you.
  • The law changes. Tax law, reporting standards, filing thresholds and regulatory requirements change frequently, sometimes retroactively. Content accurate on the date of publication may not be accurate when you read it.
  • Dates and thresholds are indicative. Filing deadlines, revenue thresholds and registration categories referenced on this site are provided as a planning framework. Confirm your own obligations against current IRS, New York State and other authoritative guidance, or with your own advisor.
  • No results are guaranteed. Nothing here should be read as a promise about the outcome of an audit, an examination, a filing position or an engagement.
  • We are not investment advisors. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security or financial instrument.

Please consult a qualified professional about your specific circumstances before acting on anything you read here. If you would like that professional to be us, start with a conversation.
