Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 28, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Strata Decimal, we believe in maintaining complete transparency with our audience about any advertising relationships, sponsored content, or financial arrangements that may influence the content on our website. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we approach advertising and affiliate relationships.
We are committed to providing honest, accurate information while being clear about any commercial relationships that exist. This disclosure is intended to help you understand the nature of these relationships and how they may affect the content you see on our website.
Important Note: This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, as well as Canadian advertising standards.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Program Participation
Strata Decimal may participate in affiliate marketing programs with various service providers and software companies relevant to accounting and business management. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission or referral fee.
These affiliate relationships help support our website and allow us to continue providing valuable content and resources. However, they do not influence our professional judgment or the quality of services we provide to our clients.
Commission-Based Links and Compensation
Some links on our website may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a commission when you make a purchase through these links. This comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website.
We only recommend products and services that we have researched, believe to be of value, or have personal experience with. Our affiliate relationships do not dictate which products or services we recommend.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product and service recommendations are based on our professional assessment of quality, value, and relevance to our audience. While we may receive compensation for some recommendations, this does not compromise our commitment to providing honest, unbiased information.
- We research products and services thoroughly before recommending them
- We consider factors such as quality, reliability, customer support, and value
- We disclose when a recommendation includes an affiliate relationship
- We update our recommendations as products and services evolve
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain clear boundaries between our professional services and any affiliate relationships. Our accounting and bookkeeping services are provided independently of any affiliate arrangements. We do not allow affiliate relationships to influence the professional advice or services we provide to our clients.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Paid Content
Any sponsored content, paid promotions, or advertorials on our website will be clearly identified as such. We use clear labeling such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement" to distinguish sponsored content from our regular editorial content.
Sponsored content maintains the same standards of accuracy and quality as our other content, but we ensure you can easily identify when content has been financially supported by a third party.
Sponsored Post Labeling Policies
All sponsored posts and paid content will include:
- Clear disclosure at the beginning of the content
- Visible labeling that cannot be missed by readers
- Information about the sponsoring entity
- Transparency about the nature of the relationship
Brand Partnership Disclosures
When we enter into brand partnerships or collaborations, we maintain editorial independence. Partners do not have control over our content, and we reserve the right to provide honest assessments even in sponsored content. Any long-term brand relationships will be disclosed on relevant pages.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
We guarantee that all content on our website, whether sponsored or not, reflects our genuine opinions and professional expertise. We do not publish misleading or false information, and we maintain editorial control over all content, including sponsored material.
