The short version.
TechBrot provides QuickBooks cleanup for Texas businesses — a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor brings a behind or broken file back to a CPA-ready standard. We fix the most common Texas mess (single-rate sales tax instead of the correct 8.25% combined rate by location), separate blended revenue/COGS/compensation so your CPA can compute the franchise (margin) tax, rebuild the fixed-asset schedule for the business personal property rendition, and reconcile every account. Fixed-fee against a written scope (typically $1,500–$15,000+ by how far behind the file is). Independent firm — not affiliated with Intuit Inc.; we clean it up, your CPA files.
Texas QuickBooks cleanup, in five questions.
What does Texas QuickBooks cleanup fix?
Single-rate sales tax corrected to the 8.25% combined rate by location, blended revenue/COGS/compensation separated for the margin tax, the fixed-asset schedule rebuilt for the BPP rendition, and every account reconciled back to a CPA-ready standard. We clean it up; your CPA files.
Why is my Texas QuickBooks file wrong?
Usually one of three Texas-specific problems: sales tax set to a single statewide rate instead of by location, margin-tax figures blended so the CPA can’t compute the base, or a fixed-asset schedule that was never kept for the rendition — on top of unreconciled accounts.
How long does a cleanup take?
It depends on how far behind the file is — a few weeks for a single year, longer for multiple years. We scope it after a free file review so you know the timeline and fixed fee up front.
What does cleanup cost?
Fixed-fee against a written scope, typically $1,500–$15,000+ depending on how many months or years are behind and how broken the file is. Exact fee in writing within 3 business days.
What happens after cleanup?
Most Texas businesses move into monthly bookkeeping with the same named ProAdvisor so the file never falls behind again. Cleanup-only is fine too.
From messy to CPA-ready, the Texas way.
We fix the Texas-specific things a generic cleanup misses — then reconcile the whole file back to clean.
Sales tax corrected
Single-rate sales tax replaced with the correct 8.25% combined rate by location, and prior periods reconciled back.
Sales tax help →Margin-tax figures separated
Revenue, COGS, and compensation untangled so your CPA can compute the franchise (margin) tax from a clean base.
Franchise tax help →Fixed-asset schedule rebuilt
Equipment, furniture, and inventory reconstructed into a schedule ready for the business personal property rendition.
Bookkeeping services →Every account reconciled
Bank, credit-card, and loan accounts reconciled and miscategorized transactions corrected to a clean chart of accounts.
Reconciliation →Catch-up of months behind
Whether you’re a few months or a few years behind, we catch the file up to current and CPA-ready.
QuickBooks accountant →Stays clean after
Move into monthly bookkeeping with the same ProAdvisor so the file never falls behind again.
Monthly bookkeeping →Three Texas problems a cleanup almost always finds.
Texas files break in predictable ways — these three are the usual culprits, and all three are fixable.
The single-rate sales-tax mistake
The most common Texas QuickBooks mess: sales tax set to one statewide rate instead of the correct combined rate (6.25% + up to 2% local) by location. It over- or under-collects and the Comptroller return won’t tie. We correct it and reconcile prior periods back.
Revenue, COGS & comp blended together
When revenue, cost of goods sold, and compensation are blended, your CPA can’t compute the franchise (“margin”) tax accurately. Cleanup separates them so the margin base is clean.
Fixed assets never tracked
Many messy Texas files never kept a fixed-asset schedule, so the annual business personal property rendition is a scramble. Cleanup rebuilds the schedule so it’s ready to render. Valuation stays with your CPA.
What we do — and what we don’t.

Free file review
A Certified ProAdvisor reviews the file and finds how deep the cleanup goes — sales tax, margin figures, fixed assets, reconciliation.
Written fixed-fee scope
A written scope and fixed fee within 3 business days, with the timeline and the Texas-specific fixes listed.
Clean & reconcile
We correct sales tax, separate the margin figures, rebuild the fixed-asset schedule, and reconcile every account.
CPA-ready handoff
A clean, current file handed to your CPA — or straight into monthly bookkeeping so it stays clean.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
A Texas QuickBooks cleanup almost always finds the same three things — single-rate sales tax, blended margin figures, and a fixed-asset schedule that was never kept. None of them are filing problems; they’re bookkeeping problems, and all three are exactly what a Certified ProAdvisor fixes so your CPA’s filings are accurate.
Once the file is clean, the same named ProAdvisor keeps it that way in monthly bookkeeping — so you never need a second cleanup.
