Bookkeeping and controller services in Houston.
Clean monthly books and controller-level insight for growing Houston businesses. Remote-first, on your schedule, with the same team every month.
Built for how Houston actually operates.
Houston is energy services, industrial and construction, healthcare through the Texas Medical Center, and logistics moving through the port.
Across Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Pearland, businesses scale into project complexity quickly.
Common Houston industries we work with: energy services, construction and industrial, healthcare, logistics and distribution.
What we do here
The same service lines as every market. Nothing about the work changes with the postcode — what changes is what your books have to cope with.
Bookkeeping
Monthly reconciliations, a clean chart of accounts, and a close you can rely on.
Bookkeeping →Controller
Close ownership, margin visibility, KPIs, and driver-based forecasting.
Controller →Strategic Planning
Operating plan, rolling forecast, and scenario modelling.
Strategic Planning →Systems & Automation
QuickBooks, payroll, and AP/AR connected so data stops being re-keyed.
Systems & Automation →Project revenue is the Houston problem
Energy services, industrial, and construction all share one structure: work that spans months, costs that land before the revenue, and margin that is only knowable at the job level. Without a work-in-progress schedule, the monthly P&L is close to meaningless.
Texas franchise tax is calculated on margin, which makes the underlying cost-of-goods and compensation figures matter well beyond the return itself. Those numbers come out of the books, so the books have to be built to produce them.
Where your books get complicated
We organise by how a business gets paid, because that is what decides how the close actually works.
Frequently asked
Do you serve businesses outside metro Houston?
Yes. We support clients across the Gulf Coast — Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, and the wider region. Engagements run remotely with calls on your schedule.
Do you handle tax filing?
No. Averan is not a CPA firm and does not file returns. We keep the books in the condition your CPA needs and work alongside them. Tax filing stays with them.
Can you work with our existing bookkeeper?
Often, yes. Some Houston clients keep an internal person for day-to-day entry and bring us in at the controller level above them.
What software do you work in?
Primarily QuickBooks Online and Desktop, where we hold ProAdvisor certification. We also handle migrations between platforms.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is scoped to the work rather than billed hourly, and quoted after we have looked at the books. Cleanup of historical records is quoted separately as a one-time piece.
