About the practice

A decade of independent CPA practice.

This practice was started in 2016 to serve small-business owners caught between two unsatisfying options: paying premium rates at large firms for the attention of senior partners they rarely saw, or settling for entry-level service from a high-volume retail tax office.

What we built instead is a small CPA practice where the work is done by a CPA. Every engagement is personally managed by a licensed CPA, returns are reviewed and signed by the same CPA who handled them, and the primary point of contact does not change. By design we work with clients anywhere in the US - through secure portals, video calls, and direct CPA access. Many clients have been with us for five years or longer.

If you are a small-business owner looking for a long-term financial partner, we welcome a conversation about what you are working on.

How we work

Three principles.

01

Plain language

We explain tax and accounting concepts in clear, everyday terms. For complex topics, we take the time to walk through the reasoning.

02

Direct access

Engagements are managed by Alex Sears, CPA directly. Work is not delegated to junior staff, automated systems, or outsourced teams.

03

Fixed fees, scoped up front

Engagements are quoted as a flat monthly or project fee, scoped on the initial call. No hourly billing.

A short history

Built one referral at a time.

2016

Practice founded

Alex left a Big-4 audit team to start serving Katy-area small businesses directly, with the same CPA on every engagement.

2018

First 50 clients

The practice grew on referrals from local dental practices, contractors, and real-estate investors. Referrals remain the primary source of new clients today.

2021

Multi-state expansion

Added multi-state sales tax and consolidated reporting to support clients scaling across Texas and beyond.

2024

Advisory practice

Added a monthly advisory call program for clients who want strategic financial counsel year-round, not just at tax time.
