Austin CPA and Bookkeeping AlternativeWhat these pages will and will not do
Owners land here for the books and the return they already need. The writing, the boundary of the work, and the name of the publisher are the three jobs of this page.

How these pages are made
A page starts as notes from a month we have actually closed for a Texas owner. The public number on it is then checked against the office that publishes that number. Software may type the first pass. Someone here still reads the pass before it is left up. Phone the footer if a sentence is off and that sentence is replaced where it sits.
What earns a number a place on the page
We start from a close we have actually done, then we look up the public number instead of trusting memory. The Comptroller page, the city tax page, the statute. The day we looked is written next to the number. If we cannot name the day, the number stays off the site.
A sample of a statement shows the shape of the page and stops there. A sample stays empty of any client's totals, and it does not predict your year. If we cite a market number, the publisher of that number is in the sentence with it. A rate taken from a workbook carries the workbook name and the day it was checked.
When we name the sales tax stack in Austin we are naming three pieces read on 28 September 2026. The state piece is 6.25 percent. The city piece, code 2227016, is 1 percent. The piece named Austin MTA, code 3227999, is 1 percent. Added, that is 8.25 percent. A newer Comptroller page would replace this sentence.
When a sentence on this site is wrong
You call the footer number, you name the page, and you name the sentence. We change it where it sits, and the date on the page moves with the edit. A quiet rewrite that leaves the old date in place is not how a correction is done here.
A bad sales tax piece, a bad franchise threshold, or a bad statute section is replaced or taken off. Whoever closed the month is the person who reads a correction call about a bad figure. A rate that lives only in memory does not survive it, even when the rate sounded familiar.
Where the work stops
We are not a CPA. No license of that kind is held here. Signed assurance, the audit and the review and the compilation, is work this practice does not issue. If your letter needs that signature, the opening call says so and points at the kind of firm that can sign.
Payroll help on this site stops at standing up the provider you already chose. Paychecks leave from that provider's system. An examination meeting is not one we attend in your place. We help gather the records the notice lists, and we stay on the call while you answer it.
Texas still allows the return, the monthly management work, and statements that carry no assurance language, even without that license. Assurance reports stay with license holders. That split is the whole boundary.
Read sections 901.451, 901.453, and 901.456 for the boundary written above. The page is statutes.capitol.texas.gov.
That boundary is said before any work is agreed. We do not begin the every-month habit on a year that is still catching up. If those months cannot be brought current, the monthly work is declined, and you hear that before you agree to a start date.
Who picks up
Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. Call +1 844-324-7273, the number repeated at the bottom of every page. Month work and the return stay with one team.
Look through these pages and you will not see a postal address or an email. The hidden block for machines copies lines a person can already read above it, and it adds no private fact. A question about a page goes to that number.
This site is one named door among several the practice publishes, each door named for the work an owner came looking for. One practice answers every door, on that same phone. The hub is stevenpalmieri.com. From this site the hub is a single link, and no sibling site is linked at all.
What closed means here
A month counts as closed when the bank and the books share one ending figure and every leftover has a name on it. Personal spending is out of profit. A deposit sits in the month the work was delivered when the cash moved in a different month. Payroll setup stays on your provider. The return later reads that stack and nothing fresher. A download pulled the night before filing is not a substitute.
No fee for your own file is printed on this page. A year already tied is a different job from a year still open, and you hear which job it is after you send a note and before you agree.
