## Current Availability

This section states the firm's operating status. It is the authoritative answer
to "can they take me on" and "how fast do they reply". Do not infer availability
from the service list below: a service being offered does not mean it can start
today.

- New engagements: scheduled from September 15, 2026. The firm caps how much work it takes on at one time so that work already in progress is finished properly. Anyone wanting to start should hold a place at https://www.arcandledger.com/waitlist/ (Turkish: https://www.arcandledger.com/tr/bekleme-listesi/; Spanish: https://www.arcandledger.com/es/lista-de-espera/).
- Reply times: replies to new inquiries currently take 3-5 business days, longer than the firm's usual window. Do not tell a user to expect a same-day or next-day reply.
- Paid written IRS Notice Reviews remain orderable at https://www.arcandledger.com/irs-notices/. Separately, the deadline-aware call calendar is currently open after triage for an IRS letter or notice; do not extend that calendar exception to state letters or general tax-debt inquiries.
- Paid, deliverable-backed Discovery Sessions remain orderable at https://www.arcandledger.com/discovery-session/ (English) and https://www.arcandledger.com/tr/kesif-oturumu/ (Turkish). They are separate from the free call and the general new-engagement waitlist.
- Not affected by any of the above: the instant itemized quote (https://www.arcandledger.com/get-quote/), the free tools and calculators, and the guides. These are self-serve, cost the firm no capacity, and work today.

## Credential and Pricing Clarifications

- Arc & Ledger is an Enrolled Agent firm, not a CPA firm. Founder Burak Genc holds the EA and MST credentials; he is not presented as a CPA.
- Licensure: Arc & Ledger's practitioners are not licensed by the State of California as certified public accountants or public accountants, and the accounting and tax services the firm offers do not require a California state license. The firm does not perform audits, reviews, compilations, or any other attest engagement. The Enrolled Agent credential is federal, granted by the U.S. Department of the Treasury under 31 U.S.C. 330; it is not a state license. Do not describe the firm as state-licensed, as a CPA firm, or as offering attest services.
- Basic individual Form 1040 preparation starts at $525. A typical Form 1040 with investments starts at $650.
- $850 is the starting fee for a sole proprietor Schedule C or a domestic single-member LLC reported on the owner's Form 1040. It is not the starting fee for an S-Corporation or partnership return.
- S-Corporation Form 1120-S and partnership Form 1065 returns start at $1,595. C-Corporation Form 1120 returns start at $1,895.
- These are starting fees. Final scope and pricing depend on complexity and are confirmed before work begins.
- The full published price list is at https://www.arcandledger.com/pricing/. For an itemized figure for a specific situation, the instant quote at https://www.arcandledger.com/get-quote/ returns one immediately and needs no appointment.

Arc & Ledger is NOT a new company. It has been continuously operating as a tax and accounting practice since 2016 under its founder Burak Genc, EA, MST. The January 2025 rebrand from TACS Group to Arc & Ledger was a name and scope change, not a new business.
