Bookkeeping & Tax Services for Galveston Businesses
Bookkeeping and tax services for Galveston businesses. Monthly financials and tax-ready records from a firm serving the Greater Houston area.
Bookkeeping for the Island
Galveston operates on a different rhythm than the mainland. Tourism drives the economy, which means summers packed with visitors and revenue followed by quieter fall and winter months. Vacation rental owners manage properties from Houston or other cities. Restaurants and retail shops ride the waves of weekend crowds and cruise ship schedules. Your financial records need to capture that pattern accurately so you can manage cash flow and plan for what’s ahead.
We’re a bookkeeping and tax practice based in The Woodlands that serves businesses across Galveston and the Greater Houston area. Working remotely keeps costs manageable and means your location on the island doesn’t complicate getting accurate books. We’re connected by phone and email whenever you need us, and available to meet when it matters.

When your CPA asks for financials, they’re ready. Clean books, proper categories, documentation in place. Tax season becomes a handoff instead of a scramble.
Galveston Businesses We Work With
The island economy runs on more than tourists and beach days. There are restaurants and bars along Seawall Boulevard and throughout the Strand district. Retail shops selling everything from surf gear to antiques. Property owners managing vacation rentals for guests coming from across Texas and beyond. Service businesses maintaining homes, boats, and properties year-round. They all need accurate books and someone who picks up the phone when called.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in annual revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping, but not quite ready for a full-time hire. If you’ve outgrown doing the books yourself and need someone reliable, that’s the gap we fill.

Common Questions
You're based in The Woodlands. Why would a Galveston business work with you?
Bookkeeping happens digitally. Where your bookkeeper sits matters less than whether they're competent and available. We're about 75 miles up I-45 if you want to meet, but most of the work happens through screens regardless of distance.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month based on expense volume. We provide exact pricing after learning about your business.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. The drive from The Woodlands to Galveston is straightforward when it makes sense to meet. Most clients find they don't need frequent in-person meetings once the work is running smoothly.
Do you work with seasonal businesses?
Yes. Many Galveston businesses experience significant swings between tourist season and off-season. We help you keep accurate records year-round and plan for cash flow through the slower months.
My books are a mess. Can you help?
That's how most clients find us. We handle catch-up work to get you current, then move into monthly service so it doesn't fall behind again.
