Advertising Disclosure

Transparency in our advertising and affiliate relationships

Last updated: November 30, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Figment Ledger, we believe in maintaining complete transparency about any advertising relationships, affiliate partnerships, or sponsored content that may appear on our website or in our communications. This disclosure explains how we approach these relationships and ensures you can make informed decisions when interacting with our content.

We are committed to providing honest, accurate information about our services and any third-party products or services we may mention. This page outlines all material connections that could influence the content we present.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

Participation in Affiliate Programs

From time to time, we may participate in affiliate programs with software providers, professional services, or other business tools that we use or recommend to our clients. When we include affiliate links on our website, we may receive compensation if you choose to purchase products or services through these links.

Commission-Based Recommendations

Some links on our website may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a commission if you make a purchase through that link. These commissions do not affect the price you pay and help support our ability to provide helpful content and resources. However, we only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe could benefit our clients or website visitors.

Product Recommendation Policy

Our recommendations are based on our professional experience and assessment of what could be valuable for businesses similar to yours. We evaluate products and services based on their quality, functionality, and value rather than solely on potential affiliate commissions. If we recommend something, it is because we believe it has genuine merit, not simply because we might earn a commission.

Financial Relationship Transparency

When we have a financial relationship with a company whose products or services we mention, we will clearly disclose this relationship. Look for statements such as "affiliate link," "partner," or "we may receive compensation" near relevant content. We believe you have the right to know when a financial relationship exists so you can make informed decisions.

Independence of Professional Services

Our core accounting and bookkeeping services are provided independently and are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We do not recommend software or tools solely to earn commissions. Our primary obligation is to provide professional services that meet your business needs, regardless of any affiliate arrangements.

Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

Identification of Sponsored Content

If we publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website or in our communications, we will clearly label such content as "Sponsored," "Paid Promotion," "Advertisement," or with similar clear disclosure language. Sponsored content will be distinguishable from our regular content and editorial material.

Sponsored Post Policies

When we agree to publish sponsored content, we maintain editorial control to ensure the content meets our quality standards and provides value to our audience. We will not publish sponsored content that contradicts our professional standards or could mislead our clients and visitors. All sponsored content must align with our commitment to providing accurate, helpful information.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may enter into partnerships with software companies, financial service providers, or other businesses that serve the accounting and bookkeeping industry. When we have ongoing partnerships with brands, we will disclose these relationships when mentioning or promoting their products or services. Partnership arrangements do not compromise our professional judgment or recommendations.

Content Authenticity

Whether content is sponsored or not, we maintain our commitment to accuracy and usefulness. Sponsored content represents the views of the sponsor but is reviewed by our team to ensure it meets basic standards of quality and relevance. Our editorial content reflects our professional opinions and experiences, independent of any sponsorship considerations.

Third-Party Advertising Networks

Display Advertising

We may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements on our website. These networks may collect information about your visits to our site and other websites to provide targeted advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. These advertisements are served by third parties and are not directly controlled by Figment Ledger.

Honest Recommendations

All recommendations we make, whether affiliated or not, are based on our honest assessment and professional experience.
