⚖️ Disclaimer

At Tandy Consulting Inc., we provide bookkeeping, accounting, and tax services to a wide variety of industries — including firearm retailers and shooting ranges. We don’t sell firearms, we don’t operate a gun range, and we don’t even own guns ourselves.

Our role is simple: keep businesses compliant, organized, and financially healthy. If the idea of us working with this industry bothers you, we kindly remind you that being an adult means respecting that different industries exist and have a right to professional services. We don’t judge our clients — and we ask that you don’t judge us for serving them.
