Bookkeeping, payroll and tax help for Frisco businesses
Frisco businesses pay no state income tax, but they collect 8.25% sales tax, render business property to the Collin or Denton Central Appraisal District by April 15 and file a Texas franchise tax report every May. We keep your books, run payroll and file your federal and Texas returns for one monthly fee.

What's different about running a business in Frisco?
Frisco has grown into a sports and entertainment hub, with team headquarters and new mixed-use districts, and its small businesses grew with it. We see franchise owners running one to five locations, fitness and youth sports businesses, medical and dental practices, real estate agents and builders, and plenty of restaurants.
Franchise owners have a particular set of needs. Royalties and marketing fees have to be booked the way the franchisor reports them, each location needs its own profit and loss, and opening a second unit often means a new entity. Youth sports and fitness businesses deal with memberships, prepaid packages and a mix of W-2 coaches and 1099 instructors, which is easy to get wrong.
The city spans Collin and Denton counties, so check your address before you render business personal property. The local 2% of the 8.25% sales tax goes to the city and its economic development corporations.
What does a typical Frisco client need from us?
Multi-location books with a clean profit and loss for each unit, payroll that handles part-time staff, and sales tax on retail and concessions. We handle all of it and file the federal and Texas returns.
