Texas Sales and Mixed Beverage Tax Solutions

Sales Tax and Mixed Beverage Tax Compliance - Are Your Clients Prepared?

Your client collects and remits Texas sales tax and/or mixed beverage tax - but are they truly in compliance?

Texas law requires businesses to maintain complete and organized records for four years. Keep in mind: records sufficient for federal income tax purposes often do not meet state requirements for sales tax.

If your client's records are incomplete or poorly maintained, the Comptroller may classify the business as having no internal controls, leading to an estimated audit - which often results in substantial tax liabilities.

Can your client afford that risk?

Our team of former Texas Comptroller auditors and supervisors can help ensure your clients are prepared and protected.

Call 817-478-5788 or 214-415-4333. Texas Sales and Mixed Beverage Tax Solutions.

    AI in Accounting 2026: From Practical Automation to Strategic Advantage

    AI in 2026 is integrated into accounting workflows, moving from simple assistance to agentic systems that automate document intake, data extraction, exception management and review-ready outputs. CPAs spend less time on manual tasks and more on judgment, oversight and communication. Organizations that adopt AI deliberately gain efficiency and quality while those with weak processes see their gaps exposed.

    Beyond Compliance – The Ways CPAs and CMAs Can Embrace the AI-Powered Future

    AI is shifting accounting from routine compliance work to higher-value analysis and advisory roles. CPAs and CMAs can use GenAI to automate repetitive tasks, improve risk analysis and forecasting, and streamline onboarding and documentation with custom GPTs and low-code tools. To adopt AI responsibly, professionals must understand its limits, verify outputs and start small - improving one workflow at a time while maintaining strong judgment and ethical oversight.

    Activism Amplified: How Universal Proxy Rules Are Reshaping Corporate Governance

    Universal proxy rules have shifted power dynamics in contested board elections, lowering barriers for activists and increasing pressure on boards to perform, communicate clearly and govern transparently. Companies that fail to proactively engage shareholders, maintain strong internal controls and align strategy with investor expectations face greater risk of disruptive and costly proxy contests - even if activists do not ultimately win board seats.
