Houston tax advisor
Four taps. April should read as a summary.
The park keeps its season. So can the year.
Each month the cash has to match the bank, the return is written from those months, and one decision can still be made before December. Steven Palmieri takes that call in the role of a Tax CFO, under the practice name the Entrepreneur's CFO.
You will be talking to the Steven Palmieri practice.
From Steven Palmieri.
An accountant tells you in April what last year cost. The Tax CFO tells you in October what this year can still be: owner pay, an election, a purchase, a payment. Each of those is still yours to choose while the months are being closed and December has not arrived.
Ask about the year
Every month ends when the deposits match the bank, so April reads as a summary. We are all Texans who know a Harris County flood can throw a week off, and we still close the month that week landed in.

The year can still go differently from the last one. One month, one question, or books that have fallen behind is enough to start. What you get here is a monthly close, reconciliations that agree with the bank, statements a lender can read, and a return prepared from those same numbers.
You can open the month, the return, the dates, the questions, or a time for the call. Each one is its own page, and each one stays in ordinary words.
The spring filing is one date. The rest of the year stays beside it, so a July call is something you already expected rather than a first look at the numbers.
The Original Ninfa's on Navigation Boulevard is where fajitas became a habit. We are all Texans who know a dining room that full, and we still match that night's deposits before we store the month, the same way we match a quiet Tuesday.
Maybe three months are still open on the screen in front of you. Maybe the pages look finished and you would not hand them to a lender. Owner pay, a truck, and a slow quarter are sitting there with nobody assigned. The calendar keeps moving while those numbers stay put.
An older month is rebuilt only where it and the bank statement still disagree. The month you are living is closed while the deposits are familiar, and a short report comes back with the statements. The months still ahead are written as choices, so spring is a filing and not a rescue.
If payday already runs at a company you pay, that company keeps cutting the checks. We only connect the password you already use. The pay run stays on that company's side, and we do not press it.
A letter that wants a signature on a report is named while you are still talking, and that piece is sent to a firm allowed to sign it. The books under the report, the tax return, and the plan for the year can still be done here. That limit is spelled out on the disclosures page, in the section that says what is not done here.
What you pay follows the file we are reading, not a posted menu. The number changes when the file has more transactions, more open accounts, a payday already running, a longer gap since the last close, or a return inside the same scope.
You hear the number on the call, before any month is touched. A cleanup carries its own price when the file is behind. This page will not pretend one figure fits every company.
If the file is the wrong shape for this practice, we say that on the call.
That opening month is one close, one conversation, and a short note of whatever is still undecided.
Owner pay has to tell the same story on the company return and on your personal return, because both come out of months we have already closed. An older month is opened again only where the statement and the books still part company. After that, July is a call already sitting on the calendar.
Add the three pieces on a sale inside the city and you get 8.25 percent. State keeps 6.25 percent of the sale, the city keeps 1 percent, and Houston METRO keeps 1 percent. Harris County adds nothing to that sale, which is why the leftover local percent is the METRO percent.
April is the month the Harris Central Appraisal District expects the business property list from Harris County. A letter to that district is what moves the list to May. May also carries the franchise report, and neither filing rides along with the federal return.
Hotels feel the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in their deposits. The published stretch is March 2 through 21 in 2027. We meet on a phone call, and these pages name no room a visitor could walk into. The busy nights still get tied to the bank before that month is stored.
We are all Texans who know the hot humid months, which is when air-conditioning work piles up. We put those repair tickets in the close for the week they were booked, not in a cooler month that is easier to recall.
Harris County sees a major flood about every two years. We put the odd week into the note and still close the month it landed in.
Steven Palmieri, a Tax CFO and the Entrepreneur's CFO, closes each month with you on a phone call about the books. You keep the file on your side, and the monthly work never asks for a trip. What the close leaves behind is the bank feed and a short note.
If you came looking for a tax advisor in Houston, the useful ending is a name for who closes the books, who prepares the return, and who still picks up in July.
