Built for Houston

We speak job costing

Houston runs on work priced by the job — contractors, oilfield services, logistics, specialty trades. When everything lands in one bucket you find out a job lost money months after you could have done anything about it. We keep costs coded by job so the margin shows up while it still matters.

Shaun Neal Founder

Hi, I'm Shaun Neal. For more than 30 years I've built and led the financial systems behind fintech companies, banks, and payment platforms — work where every number has to reconcile and every record has to stand up to an auditor.

My career has centered on regulated finance: payments, fraud controls, and compliance programs spanning PCI and FFIEC audits and KYC, BSA, and AML workflows. I know exactly what clean, defensible books look like — and how to build them without the enterprise price tag.

Now I bring that same discipline to small businesses across Harris County, working fully remotely so a shop in The Heights and a contractor out past Katy get the same accurate, audit-ready books and clear monthly reporting — at a price that actually makes sense.

FAQs

Straight answers

What does it cost?

It depends on the shape your books are in and what you need each month. Book a free consultation and we'll go through it with you — no obligation.

How do we get started?

Book a free consultation. We'll look at where your books actually stand, tell you straight what it will take, and go from there.

Can you track costs by job?

Yes. If you run work by job or project, we keep costs coded that way so you can see which jobs earned and which ones only looked like they did.

What about Texas franchise tax?

Texas has no personal income tax, but most entities still have a franchise tax responsibility. We keep your books reconciled and organized so those numbers are ready when they're needed.

Do you file my income taxes too?

We keep your books filing-ready all year, and we can prepare your year-end federal and state income tax filing when the time comes.

My books are a mess. Can you help?

That's exactly who we're built for. Catch-up cleanup is included with your monthly plan — we'll get you current and keep you there.

Do you actually work with Houston businesses?

Yes — we serve small businesses across Harris County fully remotely, from The Heights and Montrose to EaDo, Katy, Sugar Land, and the Energy Corridor.
