Bookkeeping across Texas
Texas bookkeeping, tax, and planning, in one place.
Cleared serves consultants, agencies, and private-practice owners across Texas. Texas has no state income tax but does levy a franchise tax above the no-tax threshold. Cleared coordinates franchise-tax filings with federal entity, retirement, and quarterly-estimate strategy for consultants and private-practice owners across the state.

Common questions from Texas business owners
Do you serve clients in Texas?
Yes. Cleared works with consultants, agencies, and private-practice owners in Texas and across the U.S. Everything is handled remotely (secure document portal, video calls, e-signature) so we work with the same depth in Texas as we would in person.
Do I need a local Texas accountant, or is a remote service fine?
Federal tax law is federal, and modern bookkeeping is cloud-based, so a remote service is generally as effective as a local one, often more so, because you're not limited to the few firms within driving distance. For Texas-specific items (state filings, sales/use or franchise/excise taxes, PTET elections), we handle them remotely just like we handle the federal return.
What does Cleared cost for a small business in Texas?
Monthly bookkeeping is $449/month, which includes monthly reconciliation, P&L and balance sheet, year-end tax-ready financials, and advisor access. Tax preparation and tax planning are quoted based on entity type and complexity. We don't charge an hourly rate or surprise you with a year-end invoice.
What kinds of businesses in Texas do you work with?
Independent consultants, marketing agencies, fractional executives, IT/software consultants, therapists, psychologists, group practice owners, and other licensed professionals. The common thread is service-based revenue and net profit roughly $80K and up, the point at which entity, retirement, and quarterly-tax planning meaningfully change after-tax outcomes.
Is the founder a CPA?
Cleared is led by Raman Singh, an Enrolled Agent (EA) and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®). An Enrolled Agent is the IRS's federally-licensed tax practitioner, with the same federal authority to represent taxpayers as a CPA, with a tax-only specialty. The CFP® adds retirement plan design, S-corp election strategy, and integrated planning that most CPA firms don't offer in-house.

The true cost of DIY bookkeeping.
Most owners price DIY bookkeeping at zero because they don't bill themselves. Once you value your time at your billable rate, the math usually flips. See what your hours are worth, then compare against Cleared's flat $449/month.
