What the evidence shows
Pricing
No firm on this page publishes a monthly price. None of the 11 say they quote each client, and 11 say nothing about fees at all. A written scope with the fee and its limits is the thing to ask for on a first call.
Licenses and public records
Texas publishes records we can match, so we could check this group against them: 6 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. We've only started checking Texas CPA licenses on the state board's lookup, so a CPA license on these pages reads Not verified until that firm has been checked, which isn't the same as unlicensed. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
Numbered scores on this list run from 42 down to 35, and the median across every scored firm is 24. 5 more firms reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so they sit under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: ABS Bookkeeping & Tax Services (42 at 86% coverage), Derland Bahr CPA, Inc (41 at 84% coverage) and Texas Tax Angels & Bookkeeping, LLC (40 at 80% coverage). A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
