Bookkeeping, payroll and tax help for Irving businesses
Irving businesses pay no state income tax, but they collect 8.25% sales tax, render business property to the Dallas 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 flat monthly fee.

What's different about running a business in Irving?
Irving sits between Dallas and DFW Airport, with the Las Colinas office district in the middle. That shapes its small businesses: logistics, freight and warehousing near the airport, consultants and contractors serving the corporate offices, hotels and restaurants for business travelers, and a large community of owners from around the world.
Logistics businesses need clean records for fuel, equipment and drivers, plus contractor 1099s. Hospitality businesses deal with Texas hotel occupancy tax as well as sales tax. Owners from abroad often need help with ITINs, foreign-owned LLC filings like Form 5472, or a first US return, which we handle alongside the regular books.
Irving is in Dallas County and is a DART member city, so 1% of its 8.25% sales tax goes to the transit system. Business personal property renditions go to the Dallas Central Appraisal District by April 15.
What does a typical Irving client need from us?
Payroll and fleet records for logistics firms, hotel and sales tax returns for hospitality, and cross-border filings for owners with ties abroad, all from one accountant. Many Irving clients also sell or ship into other states, so we check where they've crossed a state's economic nexus line before a notice arrives.
