Dallas bookkeeping, closed every month.

Completely. Catch-up runs inside your QuickBooks file with accountant access, so where the business sits makes no difference to the work. We rebuild the missing months from bank and card statements, oldest first, and for a B2B firm we rebuild the receivables side too — each invoice matched to the payment that settled it, so the aging reads true for every month recovered. Where a sale was taxable, the rebuilt months are checked against a combined rate that includes the 1% DART transit tax.

Because revenue and expenses need to land in the period they're actually earned or incurred, not just when cash moves. A financial-services or insurance firm recognizing commission income, or a B2B firm invoicing on 30- or 60-day terms, shows a distorted month under cash-basis: revenue can lag the work by weeks, and expenses can hit before or after the period they belong to. Accrual-basis accounting matches income and expense to the right month, which is what a lender, partner, or board actually needs to trust the numbers. We keep the close on an accrual basis where that's the right fit for the business, reconciled and reviewed before delivery.

AR aging gets tracked as its own discipline, not folded into a single balance. We keep an aging schedule that shows what's current and what's 30, 60, or 90 days out, and match every payment received to the invoice it settles — so you can see which clients pay on time, which are slipping, and what your real collectible balance is each month, instead of estimating from the bank balance alone.

A profit-and-loss, balance sheet, and cash-flow statement that tie out to the bank, follow a consistent format month to month, and don't require a bank's underwriter to come back with follow-up questions before they'll trust the numbers. Lenders and partners want statements built the same way every period, with revenue recognition and account categorization that hold up under a quick review — not a one-off spreadsheet assembled the week a loan application is due.

Not necessarily on the service itself — many professional and B2B services aren't subject to Texas sales tax the way retail goods are, though contracts that bundle in taxable items or services can change that, and that determination is your CPA's call. When a sale is taxable, the Texas Comptroller sets a 6.25% state rate plus up to 2% more from local jurisdictions, and in Dallas that local share includes a 1% transit tax from Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), in place since January 1, 1984. Our job on the bookkeeping side is making sure whatever is taxable is tracked correctly and the sales-tax-payable account ties out to what's actually remitted.

Yes. We keep each entity's books reconciled on its own, then produce a consolidated view so a lender or partner can see the whole structure and each entity's individual performance, without losing the separation your CPA needs at tax time.
