HelloBooks Editorial Policy

Our commitment to accurate, actionable, and independent accounting information.

Our Mission

HelloBooks publishes accounting, bookkeeping, and tax content to help small businesses, startups, and accounting professionals make informed financial decisions. Every article is created with the same rigor we apply to our AI bookkeeping software: accurate, transparent, and designed to save time.

Content Creation Process

  1. Research: Writers gather information from primary sources — IRS publications, HMRC guidance, ATO rulings, GST Council circulars, AICPA standards, and peer-reviewed accounting research.
  2. Draft: A first draft is written with cited sources, real-world examples, and practical step-by-step instructions.
  3. Expert Review: Every finance-related article is reviewed by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Chartered Accountant (CA) before publication.
  4. Edit: Editors check for clarity, accuracy, tone, and compliance with this policy.
  5. Publish: Content goes live with author bylines, review credits, and source citations.

Expert Review Requirements

All articles covering tax, accounting standards, compliance, or financial regulations must be reviewed by a credentialed professional. Reviewers include CPAs, CAs, ACCAs, and enrolled agents with active licenses. The reviewer's name and credentials appear on the article page.

Update Policy

Evergreen content is reviewed and updated quarterly. Tax and compliance content is updated within 30 days of regulatory changes. Each article displays a "Last updated" date and a "Fact-checked" date. Outdated content is either revised or archived with a clear notice.

Correction Policy

Errors happen. When we identify a factual error, we correct it within 48 hours and note the correction at the bottom of the article. If you spot an error, email editorial@hellobooks.ai with the article URL and the correction.

Independence and Objectivity

HelloBooks editorial content is independent of our sales and marketing teams. We do not accept paid placements in editorial articles. Product comparisons are based on publicly available feature lists and verified pricing. When HelloBooks is compared to competitors, we acknowledge competitor strengths honestly.

AI-Generated Content

We use AI tools to assist with research outlines and first drafts. Every AI-assisted draft is thoroughly reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by human writers and accounting professionals before publication. No article is published without human oversight.
