Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: March 10, 2026
Our transparency commitment
Brindlecroft is committed to transparency in all aspects of how this website operates. This Advertising Disclosure explains our relationships with any commercial partners, our approach to paid content, and how we handle third-party advertising — in full compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.
Our primary purpose is to provide clear, useful information about accounting services for professional services firms. Commercial relationships, where they exist, do not influence the accuracy or honesty of the information we publish.
1. Affiliate Relationships
From time to time, this website may contain links to third-party products, tools, or services. You should be aware of the following:
- — Affiliate program participation. Brindlecroft may participate in affiliate programs for accounting software, productivity tools, or professional services resources. If we do, links to those products may generate a commission if you make a purchase.
- — Commission-based links. Any affiliate links will be identified as such near the link or in the surrounding content. Commission arrangements do not affect the price you pay for any product or service.
- — Product recommendations. We only recommend products or services that we believe are genuinely useful for professional services firms. Affiliate relationships do not lead us to recommend products we would not otherwise endorse.
- — Financial relationship transparency. Any material financial relationship between Brindlecroft and a third party mentioned on this site will be disclosed at or near the point of mention.
2. Sponsored Content
If sponsored or paid content appears on this website, it will be clearly labeled. Our policies regarding sponsored content are as follows:
- — Clear identification. Any content that has been paid for by a third party will be labeled with language such as "Sponsored," "Paid Promotion," or "In Partnership With" in a visible location.
- — Editorial independence. Paid placements do not influence editorial content or service recommendations on this website. We do not accept payment to provide favorable reviews or alter factual descriptions.
- — Brand partnership disclosures. Any formal brand partnerships that influence the content on this site will be disclosed at the top of the relevant page or content piece.
- — Content authenticity. All information published on this site — sponsored or otherwise — reflects our honest assessment and is subject to the same accuracy standards as our non-sponsored content.
3. Third-Party Advertising
This website may use third-party advertising networks to display ads. If such networks are in use, the following applies:
- — Display advertising. Third-party advertising platforms, such as Google Ads, may be used to serve relevant advertisements to visitors of this site.
- — Behavioral targeting. Advertising networks may use data about your browsing activity to display ads relevant to your interests. This is sometimes called interest-based or behavioral advertising.
- — Cookie usage. Advertising cookies may be placed on your device by third-party ad networks. These cookies help serve ads and measure campaign performance. See our Cookie Policy for details on managing these.
- — Ad personalization. If you have consented to ad personalization cookies, data about your interactions with this website may be used to personalize the advertisements you see — on this site and elsewhere.
4. User Rights and Controls
You have meaningful control over how advertising data is collected and used in connection with your visit to this site:
- — Ad preference management. You can manage your advertising preferences through our Cookie Preferences page, where you can enable or disable advertising cookies.
- — Opt-out procedures. You may opt out of interest-based advertising from many providers through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out tool or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page.
- — Data collected for advertising. If you consent to advertising cookies, information such as pages visited and time spent on our site may be used to build an interest profile for ad targeting purposes.
- — Your rights. Under applicable privacy regulations (including CCPA for California residents), you may have the right to request disclosure of, or deletion of, personal data used for advertising purposes. Contact us through our contact page to make such a request.
