About

A Texan who loves clean numbers

I'm a finance student at UT Austin's McCombs School of Business in the Canfield Business Honors Program, McCombs' selective honors business program. I started Texas Tally to give Austin's local and family-run businesses careful, affordable books, so owners can spend their time on customers, not spreadsheets.

I've spent my summers digging into company financials. Now I want to bring that same care to the local businesses that make Austin, Austin.

Private equity analyst experience: checked company financials line by line against what management presented, and caught inconsistencies that changed the deal team's view.
Margin and cost analysis: analyzed profit margins and the effect of $20M in planned spending on future operating margins for a Dallas IT services company.
Tools: Excel, SQL, Python, and R. I build clean, easy-to-check spreadsheets and reports.

FAQ

Common questions

Are you a CPA? Do you file taxes or give tax advice?

No. I'm a bookkeeper, not a CPA. I don't prepare tax returns, give tax or legal advice, or provide audits, reviews, compilations, or any other attest services. I keep your books accurate and organized, so your CPA or tax preparer can file faster, and often for less.

I get paid through Square, Venmo, Zelle, and cash. Can you handle that?

Yes. That's exactly who I work with. I'll set up a simple system to capture every payment, including cash sales, and match it to your bank deposits.

Do I need a separate business bank account?

Yes. It's required for monthly clients. Mixing personal and business money makes books expensive to keep and risky at tax time. If you don't have one yet, I'll help you set it up as part of onboarding.

What about contractors or helpers I pay?

On the Growing plan I track every payment to contractors and helpers, collect their W-9s, and have your 1099 totals ready in January.

What software do you use?

I'll keep your books in QuickBooks Online, or set you up in an organized Google Sheets system if you're just starting out. Already using other software? Just ask.

How do you keep my data secure?

I only use view-only or bookkeeper-level access, never your login passwords, and I never move money for you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly plans are month to month after any promotional period.
