Small Business Accountant in Celina, TX
Celina has grown by more than 314%, making it the second fastest-growing wealthy suburb in America. That explosive growth has brought a wave of new businesses: custom home builders serving the luxury real estate market, service companies supporting Celina ISD and Prosper ISD families, and entrepreneurs who relocated from California and the Northeast to take advantage of Texas’s lack of a state income tax. With a median household income of $155,875, Celina residents are building serious businesses that deserve serious accounting.

Small Business Tax and Accounting Questions from Celina Clients
What does a small business accountant do?
A small business accountant handles your bookkeeping, prepares and files your federal and state tax returns, manages payroll, ensures sales tax compliance, and advises on entity structure and deductions. For Celina business owners, that also means handling the Texas franchise tax and Public Information Report that every LLC and corporation must file annually with the Texas Comptroller.
How much do small business accounting services cost in Celina?
At AG Freideman, sole proprietor returns (Schedule C) run $750 to $1,200. S-Corp and partnership returns cost $1,000 to $2,000 depending on complexity. Monthly bookkeeping with payroll processing is $300 to $600 per month. We quote exact fees upfront so Celina clients always know what to expect.
Do I need to file Texas franchise tax for my Celina business?
Yes. Every LLC, corporation, and limited partnership doing business in Texas must file a franchise tax report and Public Information Report by May 15 each year. Businesses with total revenue at or below the no-tax-due threshold (currently $2.47 million) still must file the report even if they owe nothing. We handle this filing for $250 to $500.
Should my Celina business elect S-Corp status?
An S-Corp election can save self-employment tax when your business consistently earns more than a reasonable salary. For many Celina business owners, particularly consultants and contractors earning above $80,000 to $100,000 in net profit, the savings are significant. We evaluate your specific numbers during a tax planning session (starting at $197) and file Form 2553 with the IRS if it makes sense.
Do I need a registered agent for my Texas LLC?
Yes. Texas requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state. We offer registered agent services for $149 per year, and it is included free when you engage us for tax preparation or bookkeeping. Many Celina clients who formed LLCs after relocating to Texas use this service from day one.
