CPA Laredo AlternativeClose the month the trucks left
We keep the books until the bank and the yard count agree, set payday up on the provider you already run, and Steven Palmieri, a Tax CFO and the Entrepreneur's CFO, prepares the return.
Walk the open month
Start from the last deposit
You will be talking to the Steven Palmieri practice.
When a crossing becomes a month
A truck that clears the bridge is not a finished month until the yard count, the deposit, and the papers agree.

Who keeps this page
Every Texan knows the Washington's Birthday Celebration, the parade weeks from late January into February. We share that season from our side of Texas, and a month that spans a parade still closes on its day.

School rate and the sales return
The Webb County Courthouse, finished in 1909, is the kind of stone square every Texan recognizes. You see civic pride in that stone. We see the same building and think about the May franchise report that still has to leave on time.

Filings beside the river
Laredo sits on the north bank of the Rio Grande, and every Texan can picture a river that is also a border. Video is how we meet owners along that bank. The close still has one date, whichever bank the truck used.

A yard with no count
Lake Casa Blanca holds a wide sheet of water on Chacon Creek, and the first hot Saturday pulls the town toward it. Every Texan knows a Saturday like that. A yard count skipped on a day like it is what we ask about at the next close.

Open a month. See what comes due.
1January
December sales tax is still due on the 20th, even while Laredo is already dressing for the long birthday celebration.
The same practice that closed December files that return with you.
2April
Webb County wants the business personal property rendition on April 15, and a written ask can move it to May 15.
The list is built from the asset roll kept with the close. The signature on that Webb County list is yours.
3May
May is when the Texas franchise report leaves, and it is dull only if last year already closed.
We prepare the report. You see it before it goes.
4July
Midyear is when estimated taxes get a second look, while there is still time to change a choice.
We do that look with you, from the months already tied to the bank.
5September
Before holiday crossings stack up, the yard count and the open deposits need a hard read.
We do that read. A skipped Saturday count shows up here.
6October
By October a Laredo year can still change a choice. December is when those choices freeze.
We read October with you on a video call, while the choices can still move.
On this page the Tax CFO is Steven Palmieri, also called the Entrepreneur's CFO.
Tell us which month is open
Dallas is home base for this practice. Laredo owners meet us by video, and one calendar day still closes the month.
You will be talking to the Steven Palmieri practice.
The first month, in plain words
Nobody needs a speech about the whole year on day one. What we open is whichever month still refuses to match the bank. We pull the feed, we match the deposits, and we stop when a deposit has no paper behind it. On a file in Laredo that paper is often a crossing, a broker's invoice, or a count of what is actually in the yard.
The registrations and the chart mapping happen on the provider the shop already uses, with you watching the first clean run. Once you have watched that clean run, payday lives on your login and we leave it there.
When three months in a row tie out, the return has something solid under it. Before that, a return would only be a guess, and we will say so. The point of doing the work during the year is that October can still change a choice December would lock.
What the price follows
The fee follows the open months, the payroll setup, and how many entities share one owner. A single shop with a current close is a different job from a yard that has not been counted since spring. We quote the scope in writing before it starts, and anything outside that scope is quoted before it is done.
A printed average would be borrowed from a shop that is not yours, so this page leaves the number off. The first conversation names what is actually open and what an engagement would cover, and it includes the honest case where you do not need one yet.
A cover a lender wants signed is prepared by a firm allowed to sign it. The books can still be put in order here so the firm that signs the cover has a month that ties. Nothing on this page is a loan offer, and we will not promise a refund.
Two currencies, one close
A lot of owners in Laredo buy on one side of the river and sell on the other. The books we keep are the books of the entity on this side. A peso ledger, a customs broker's own set of books, and an assurance report are three different jobs, and only the first of those three is even a conversation. We will say on the first call which of them we do not take.
What we do take is the monthly close of the company you run here. Inventory that crossed and landed in the yard. Deposits that hit the bank. Sales tax that has to leave on the 20th. The franchise report in May. The rendition of racks, forklifts, and the yard itself in April.
Nothing here depends on a storefront beside the World Trade Bridge. You share the file. We meet on a video call. The close lands on the same day it would if we were down the hall. The river is wide. The work is not.
