Houston, Texas · Serving Texas
Energy companies, medical practices, contractors, distributors and family businesses across Greater Houston rely on our advisors for tax planning, IRS representation and deal support. We serve Houston clients remotely with on-site visits when an engagement calls for it.
Serving Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, Texas.
What we handle
Texas has no personal income tax, so Houston owners focus on federal tax, the Texas franchise (margin) tax and sales and use tax. Energy producers and investors deal with intangible drilling cost deductions, percentage depletion and working interest rules, while oilfield service, petrochemical and logistics companies face multi-state payroll and nexus as crews and equipment move across state lines.
The Texas Medical Center makes Houston a hub for physician practices, urgent care and healthcare staffing. We help with practice structure, reasonable compensation, equipment deductions, payroll audits and practice sales, and we represent Houston taxpayers in IRS examinations, collections and appeals.
