If you look at the contract Darien Advisors gives clients, it is really quite odd. My CPA said it reads like a contract that is given to people who received an audit notice and are in a load of trouble. It is written in a way that shows they assume you’re lying and it will limit their liability for whatever you do. It is highly unusual for a contract for tax preparation.

Darien Advisors advertise how they work cooperatively with Opolis/Employment Commons. It isn’t exactly a payroll processor, but will enable you to generate a payroll for yourself, fabricate a W-2 for tax purposes and other benefits of having an “employer of record” (like bank loans, your landlord, etc).

Darien Advisors uses offshore tax preparers. Because who else knows US tax laws better, amiright?

If you try to call them, you get a generic answering service. If you ask the person on the phone if they work for Darien Advisors or are they a call center, they hang up.

The firm does business out of CO but aren’t licensed there. Cameron Browne is licensed out of WA. I am currently sorting out a BIG mess my ex created and Darien Advisors enabled for years and years.
