What Kyle and Buda businesses ask us for
The I-35 corridor south of Austin filled in quickly, and the businesses along it are mostly home services, trades, clinics, restaurants and small retail serving new rooftops. Many are five years old or less, which usually means the books were set up in a hurry and never revisited.
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

A chart of accounts set up in a hurry
The most common thing we find in a young Hays County business is a chart of accounts that came out of the box: everything lands in a handful of catch-all categories, owner spending is mixed with business spending, and the profit and loss statement cannot answer a simple question about where the money went. Rebuilding it is usually the first job, and it is a one-off.
The second is the personal card. Once business costs run through it, the books need a consistent way to record and repay them, or the deduction is lost and the balance sheet drifts.
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
Most owners here pay a bookkeeper through the year and a preparer in the spring, and the handover is charged for twice.
Best for a Kyle or Buda 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 wants an audited statement, that is available through our CPA partner firms.
Our Texas business address is in Pflugerville, on the north side of Austin, and it is a business address rather than a walk-in office. Our team is distributed across the US and internationally, working with businesses across the United States, so the drive does not matter.
SF Business Solutions is very diligent and responsive. I can tell they are passionate about their work, which I particularly appreciate about them. My project was rather complex but they managed to get it done according to my needs.

How much does bookkeeping cost in Kyle or Buda?
We quote it on transaction volume, the accounts we reconcile, and whether you run payroll or hold inventory. Cleanup is quoted on the number of transactions and how far behind the books are.
Can you fix a chart of accounts that was never set up properly?
Yes. Rebuilding it is usually the first thing we do, and it is a one-off job that makes every later month readable.

Yes. We prepare and file the annual report with the Texas Comptroller, due May 15, along with sales tax returns and the federal business return.
I have been paying business costs on a personal card. Is that a problem?
It is fixable. We record the business costs, set up a consistent way to repay them, and keep the deduction without muddling the balance sheet.
