What Hutto businesses ask us for
Hutto sits on US-79 between Round Rock and Taylor, and the businesses here are mostly trades, transport, small manufacturing suppliers and the retail and food that serves them. Work tied to the industrial building east of town tends to arrive with sudden growth: more crew, more equipment, and books that have not kept pace.
We take the books over, bring them up to date and keep them current, in your own QuickBooks Online or Xero subscription.
- Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation of every bank and card account
- Cleanup and catch-up when the books are behind
- Payroll, new hires, W-2s and contractor 1099s
- Texas franchise tax, sales tax and the federal return, prepared and filed

Crews, equipment and sudden growth
When a small business doubles its crew in a season, three things break in order: payroll tax deposits get missed, equipment is coded straight to expenses, and nobody can say which jobs paid. We fix them in that order, because the payroll one has penalties attached.
If you supply a larger contractor or plant, expect to be asked for statements on their schedule rather than yours. We close each month between the 5th and the 15th of the following month, depending on when your documents arrive, so there is something current to hand over.
The Texas filings behind the books
Texas has no personal or corporate income tax, so the filings that get missed are the state ones. Most entities file an annual franchise tax report with the Texas Comptroller, due May 15, even in a year with nothing to pay. Businesses selling taxable goods or services collect sales tax at the 6.25% state rate plus local rates of up to 2%. Employers file quarterly wage reports and unemployment tax with the Texas Workforce Commission.
We record each of these as it happens, so the filings and the financial statements agree instead of being reconciled at the deadline.
Books and the return from one team
The usual setup is a bookkeeper during the year and a preparer at the deadline, with the cost of the handover paid twice.
Best for a Hutto business that wants the books, the payroll and the return from one team: SF Business Solutions. Our team includes a licensed CPA. We are not a CPA firm, so if a lender asks for an audited statement, that is available through our CPA partner firms.
