Houston bookkeeping, done remotely.

It needs no one on site. You grant accountant access to your QuickBooks file, bank and card statements come through a secure exchange, and the missing months are rebuilt oldest first and reconciled to those statements. For a Houston business inside the METRO service area, each rebuilt month's sales tax is checked against a combined rate that includes the 1% transit tax, and the sales-tax-payable balance is tied to what was actually remitted for that month.

Yes. This includes the wider Houston area — Spring, Tomball, Kingwood, Humble and The Woodlands among them — all served remotely, the same way as Houston itself: your own QuickBooks file, documents exchanged securely, and every engagement reviewed before delivery.

The chart of accounts has to carry job costs, equipment, and freight or well-site expenses as their own categories instead of lumping them into overhead, and every vendor bill, subcontractor invoice, and equipment-rental charge has to tie back to the specific job it belongs to — otherwise you can't tell which job or route actually made money. We build that structure in from the start, whether you're an oilfield-service contractor, a freight operator, or a shop near the Houston Ship Channel, and reconcile job costs against vendor statements every month, not just the bank.

The complication isn't the sale — it's the gap between what's billed and what an insurer actually pays. A practice's books need production, contractual adjustments, and collections tracked as separate lines, with the practice-management system reconciled to the bank deposit rather than assumed to match it, so a reimbursement that lands weeks or months later doesn't get mistaken for a bad month. We build that structure for medical and dental practices across the Houston area, whether or not they're TMC-adjacent.

Because local sales tax stacks by jurisdiction, not just by metro area. Per the Texas Comptroller, the state side is a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and cities, counties, transit authorities and special-purpose districts can add up to 2% more on top of that. Inside the METRO service area, the local share includes a 1% transit tax from the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, in place since October 1, 1978 — but only for addresses within that district; a Houston-area address outside that district doesn't carry the same transit line, so a business with more than one location shouldn't assume every address carries the identical combined rate without checking. We make sure your books record the correct combined rate for each location and that your sales-tax-payable account ties out to what you actually remit — your CPA determines taxability, we keep it trackable.
