Texas monthly bookkeeping, in five questions.
What is monthly bookkeeping in Texas?
A real close of your books every month — reconciliation, clean categorization, 8.25% sales tax reconciled, the margin-tax figures kept current, BPP records maintained, and CPA-ready statements, in your own QuickBooks file, by the same ProAdvisor. We do the books; your CPA files.
Why does a monthly close matter in Texas?
Because the franchise (margin) tax and 8.25% sales tax are computed from your books — a monthly close keeps those figures accurate all year so filing is a non-event, and the annual business personal property rendition is a quick export.
Do you work in my own QuickBooks file?
Yes — your file, your data, in QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop, with a named ProAdvisor on the same file every month.
What does it cost?
Fixed-fee against a written scope, never hourly: $400–$2,500+/mo by volume and accounts; one-time cleanup before monthly cadence $1,500–$15,000+. Exact fee in writing within 3 business days.
Do you file Texas taxes?
No — TechBrot keeps the books CPA-ready and coordinates with your CPA, who files. Independent firm; not affiliated with Intuit Inc.

Fractional CFO →Three Texas facts a monthly close keeps clean.
Closing every month keeps the margin tax, sales tax, and the BPP rendition accurate year-round — not reconstructed under deadline.
A close every month, not a scramble in March
Monthly bookkeeping means the books are reconciled and closed each month — so the franchise (margin) tax figures and 8.25% sales tax are right all year, not reconstructed at filing time.
Sales tax reconciled every month
Texas sales & use tax (6.25% state + up to 2% local, via the Comptroller) is reconciled monthly so each return ties and nothing is owed by surprise.
Fixed assets current year-round
Equipment, furniture, and inventory are kept current each month, so the annual business personal property rendition is a quick export, not a reconstruction. Valuation stays with your CPA.

Written fixed-fee scope

Monthly close
A named ProAdvisor reconciles, closes, and hands CPA-ready statements to your CPA every month.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
The case for a monthly close in Texas is simple: the franchise (margin) tax and 8.25% sales tax are only as accurate as the books behind them, and the business personal property rendition needs a current fixed-asset schedule. Close every month and all three stay right — close once a year and you’re reconstructing under deadline.
Start with a reliable monthly close, then extend — when you’re ready — into fractional-CFO advisory, in coordination with your CPA.
