Bookkeeping Services in Austin for Startups & Businesses
Austin businesses have no personal income tax to track, but the franchise (margin) tax applies once revenue crosses a threshold, and books that don't cleanly separate cost of goods and compensation make it hard to calculate margin under whichever method actually benefits you.
Travis County's sales tax adds a local rate on top of the state base, so books without location-specific categorization tend to misreport. Profitjets keeps your books reconciled monthly, structured to support your margin calculation method, and categorized correctly for Travis County sales tax.

Books Structured for Franchise Tax & Margin Calculation
Books that don't separate cost of goods sold, compensation, and revenue cleanly make it impossible to know which margin calculation method actually saves you money, so businesses often default to whichever method costs more.
We reconcile your accounts monthly, structure your books to support all three margin calculation methods, and flag your position relative to the franchise tax threshold.
