Books kept the way your industry actually runs.

The sectors we know best, and the seven specialties where the accounting genuinely has to be built differently.

Industry accounting in Cedar Park, TX and the Austin area

A general set of books tells every business the same three things. Useful, but rarely the things you actually need to know.

What changes by sector is the question the numbers have to answer. A contractor needs job margin. A nonprofit needs fund position. A dental practice runs on collections against production. An online seller needs channel margin after fees. Each of those requires the bookkeeping to be structured for it from the beginning.

Three client industries make up most of our work, and seven specialties describe the sector accounting we build. They overlap, and plenty of clients sit in both lists.

Reconciled paperwork, an open ledger and a calculator on a bookkeeper desk

The three industries we work in most

These are the client types the practice has the deepest bench in.

Financial services

Advisory, planning and investment firms, where revenue arrives as a mix of recurring fees, commission and referral splits, often paid net through a third party.

See the sector →

Online retail

High volume, thin margins, layered fees and inventory held somewhere else. The sector where a payout booked as revenue does the most damage.

See the sector →

Real estate investors

Per-property tracking, entity separation, and the capital versus repair line that determines what your depreciation basis really is.

Seven specialties we build books for

Each is a full service page with the structure, the reporting, and what commonly goes wrong.

What does not change, whatever you do

The sector decides the structure. It does not change the standard.

  • The books get current first

    No sector reporting means anything until the periods are closed and every account is reconciled. That work comes before anything clever.

  • You hear it straight

    Including the parts that are uncomfortable. Clients say being upfront is the reason they finally trust the numbers.

  • Delivered on the date

    Quality work finished when we said it would be, reconciled to the cent and explained in plain language.

Not seeing your industry here?

These are the sectors we work in most, not the only ones we take on. The method is the same either way: understand how the business model works, then build the books so they answer the questions that model raises. If you run something that does not fit neatly on this page, tell us how it works and we will say honestly whether we are the right fit.
