Start Your Texas Business with a Clear Plan

The decisions you make early—like your business structure or how you handle taxes—can shape your company for years to come. We simplify the process, explaining your options and mapping out an easy-to-follow setup plan that keeps you compliant from day one.

Choose the Right Entity—LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, or Partnership

Entity selection is more than paperwork—it determines how you’re taxed, how you pay yourself, and how you manage liability. Our team helps you compare structures and understand the trade-offs before making your decision.

Registration and Compliance All Handled the Right Way

Filing the right forms with the right agencies can be tedious and time-consuming. Martinez CPA takes care of the details—federal, state, and local—so your business is registered correctly and ready to operate.

We assist with:

  • Federal EIN registration
  • Texas Secretary of State and Comptroller filings
  • Sales tax and payroll account setup
  • Local permit and DBA requirements across East Texas
  • Step-by-step compliance checklists for your first year

We’ll keep you informed at every stage and make sure your startup stays organized for accounting, payroll, and tax reporting.

Set Up Your Books for Success

Good habits early save rework later. As your LLC setup consultant, we’ll configure QuickBooks (Online or Desktop) with a tailored chart of accounts, bank feeds, receipt capture, classes/locations, and simple monthly close tasks. You’ll get starter training plus a one-page “how we book things” guide for your team.


Need projections for a landlord or conversation with a lender? We can help build a practical startup budget and 12-month cash plan (we don’t broker loans). When you’re ready, add payroll, sales tax filings, and monthly bookkeeping for a true one-team workflow.

Ongoing Support as You Grow

Starting a business is only the beginning. Martinez CPA offers continued guidance as your company expands—covering bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll, and strategic advisory to keep your systems aligned and your growth sustainable.


Whether you’re growing from a home-based operation to your first storefront or adding employees for the first time, we’ll help you stay compliant and financially organized every step of the way.
