CPA and Bookkeeping McKinney Alternative The month, then the return.
A month that already agrees with the bank, payday set up on the provider you already run, the city hotel report filed even when no guest came, and the return prepared from those months. Steven Palmieri does that work as the Tax CFO, from the first open month through the return.
What is sitting open?
Name the open month.
You will be talking to the Steven Palmieri practice.
The close
The bank has to agree before anyone opens the return. When the hotel row and the deposit disagree, we leave that gap on the page.

A quiet month
A month with no guests still owes the city a report. A filed zero is a quiet month; an unfiled one is a missing month. Friday night at the stadium fills the square's hotels; the Tuesday after, the report is still due.

The penalty steps
The city's late steps are public and they climb. We file the zero so you never see the ladder.

Six troubles a month in McKinney can hand you
Open the card that matches what you are holding.
1A quiet hotel month
We still file the report
A month with no guests in McKinney still owes the hotel report. We write the zero instead of leaving the month empty.
2The penalty steps
We want the report in early
The city adds 5 percent in the first 30 days and 10 percent after that. Interest starts once a bill is 60 days late.
3A platform payout
We match the deposit to the row
Since September 2025 a platform that books a short stay in McKinney also remits the city hotel tax. The deposit and the row should tell the same story.
4Sales tax on the twentieth
We separate the state and the city
The combined rate in McKinney is 8.25 percent, state 6.25 and city 2, with no transit slice. Filing day for that return is the twentieth of the following month.
5The May franchise report
We read revenue the months already named
The franchise report is due on 15 May. We do not invent a new revenue figure that month. We read what the closed months already said.
6Payday set up, not run
You keep the login
We set payday up on the provider you run. The button stays yours. The books still show what that provider paid.
Steven Palmieri sits with you for that close, working as Tax CFO and as the Entrepreneur's CFO.
Start with the month the bank will not match.

What the month is for
What a finished month changes
Owners around the square already know the feeling of a Saturday that looked busy and a report that still shows a hole. Arts in Bloom fills downtown on the second weekend in April, and the square feels like the town showing off. Those sales still belong on the return due on the twentieth. We post those sales in the month the weekend happened. The work on this page is the unglamorous part that makes the next Saturday easier. We tie the bank, we file the hotel report, and we leave you a month you can read without a second call.
Downtown holds more than 120 locally owned businesses. A Saturday on that square is easy to enjoy with everyone else who is out. We still want each of those Saturdays to land in the month it was earned.
The old courthouse on the square is the shape of the town, and we like that shape as much as anyone who walks past it. The month still has to tie before anyone talks about the building.
A good month is not a speech. It is a set of numbers that already agree with the deposits, the cards, and the tax row the city expects. When that set exists, the return is a reading of the year rather than a rescue of it.
If the books are a year behind, we say so on the first call. We either close the open months first or we stop. We do not pretend a return can be honest while the newest month is still a guess.
Payday, statements, and the year
You keep the provider password. We sit with you while the account is created, while the people to be paid are named, and while you approve the first run. After that the button is yours. Each later month we still lay the provider report next to the bank, because those two drift when nobody looks.
Statements on this practice carry no signed cover. They show cash, what is owed, and whether the month made money. If a lender wants a cover that says the figures were examined, that cover comes from a firm that can sign it. The books can still be ready before you ask for that cover.
October is the month when owner pay and the estimates can still be chosen. After the year ends we can only report what the books already did. That is why a fall conversation is kinder than a spring surprise.
