Disclosures

Nature of This Firm and Its Services

Gu & Company LLC is a certified public accounting firm. It is not a law firm, and no service offered, described, or referenced on this website or in any related marketing material — including tax planning, tax resolution, and client accounting services — constitutes the practice of law, legal services, or legal advice. Engaging Gu & Company LLC does not create an attorney-client relationship of any kind.

If you require legal advice, legal representation, or a legal opinion, you should consult a licensed attorney or law firm engaged separately for that purpose.

Steven Gu’s Professional Credentials

Steven Gu is a certified public accountant and is also admitted to practice law in the State of New York. He holds a Master of Laws (LLM) in Taxation and spent several years in Big Four M&A tax practice at KPMG prior to founding Gu & Company LLC.

Mr. Gu’s attorney licensure is disclosed on this website and in firm marketing materials solely to describe his professional background and qualifications. It does not mean that legal services are being offered by Mr. Gu or by Gu & Company LLC, and viewing this website, attending a presentation, or otherwise interacting with this content does not create an attorney-client relationship. Any legal services Mr. Gu may provide, if any, are provided under a separate legal engagement, distinct from any engagement with Gu & Company LLC as a CPA firm.

No Professional Relationship Without an Engagement Letter

You are not a client of Gu & Company LLC, and no accountant-client relationship exists, until a written engagement letter has been signed by both you and Gu & Company LLC. Nothing on this website, in any advertisement, presentation, consultation, or other communication prior to a signed engagement letter should be understood as the provision of professional services or as creating any duty owed to you by Gu & Company LLC or Mr. Gu.

Informational Purposes Only

The content on this website and in related marketing materials — including any discussion of tax strategies, tax planning techniques, or general tax principles — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice, and it should not be relied upon as such. Tax outcomes depend on each individual’s specific facts and circumstances, and strategies referenced in general marketing content may not be appropriate or available for every situation. You should consult a qualified professional regarding your own circumstances before acting on any information presented here.

Case studies, client stories, and results referenced in Gu & Company LLC marketing materials are drawn from actual client engagements. Client names have been changed to pseudonyms, and personally identifiable information has been redacted, to protect client confidentiality. Dollar figures and outcomes described are real figures from those specific engagements.

Past results described in any case study, testimonial, or example are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of the results you may obtain. Every client’s tax situation is different, and results depend on each client’s specific facts, applicable law, and other circumstances that may change over time. No outcome is guaranteed.

Client Confidentiality

Gu & Company LLC treats client confidentiality as non-negotiable. Client information is not shared in marketing materials except in de-identified form as described above, and only with appropriate safeguards in place.
