OUTSOURCED SOLUTIONS

We are your outsourced management solution for performing operational tasks like bookkeeping, and remitting payroll tax payments. We provide the most equitable solution for ensuring that the job gets done. We work to maximize the efficiency of your in-house team's workflow, keeping in mind the tax and legal implications of every process and procedure.

We specialize in the following types of businesses: 
Construction and general contractors, law firms, retail establishments, professional service firms, real estate development ventures, offices of doctors and medical professionals.


METHODS

Our firm specializes in cloud-based accounting, which uses softwares like QuickBooks Online or Xero to manage your bookkeeping. We will also work with you to re-organize your standard operating procedures by providing advice on how to implement the best practices for your unique operational needs. If you aren’t yet on a cloud-based accounting software, let us help you set that up. If you are already using one but want to convert to Xero, we are your migration experts and will help manage the process for you.

For small businesses, an ERP is not a practical solution. Utilizing smaller, more cost-effective tools that sync data together to build a network of operations is an ideal solution. This includes project management systems, inventory management systems, point of sale systems, data storage solutions, etc. Pairing them with your cloud-based accounting system will save time, and reduce the rate of human error associated with common data entry tasks. We will work with your team to establish the optimal workflow to ensure the highest level of efficiency is met to properly use the resources at your disposal and to facilitate your company's growth. 

FORENSICS

Our team provides forensic and research services for family and business law cases in the state of Texas. Our team will examine the books and records to uncover the facts. We may be hired by a client’s attorneys to perform forensic services, prepare an expert findings report, and to serve as an expert witness.


PAYROLL & SALES TAX

We may be engaged to manage the sales tax returns and tax payments for our business clients located in Texas. For those who have e-commerce sites or have nexus in other jurisdictions, we utilize apps like TaxJar.com to ensure the returns are filed properly and on time.

We may also be engaged to oversee the timely filing of payroll tax returns and reports, as well as the timely remittance of tax payments.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I could not do my job without the Pencil Team! I highly recommend them to anyone running a business. They have put me at ease with my invoicing, taxes, billing, matching statements, etc. They do everything for me so that my business runs smoothly. They catch errors and do not let anything slide by un-noticed or un-matched in our books.
— Joan Stockton, Joan Stockton Shops
As a start up business owner, I was doing everything myself until the workload got to a point where I was maxed out. I was feeling overwhelmed because I wanted to keep growing the business but was bogged down in things like Accounts Payable. We weren’t to a point that we could justify hiring an accountant. That was when I found Allen & Co. They have taken a huge load off of my plate and allowed our business to grow exponentially while keeping our costs down.
