In brief

Bookkeeping for Houston, in plain terms.

Do you serve Houston?

Yes — across the whole metro. We're based in Conroe, about 40 miles north of downtown Houston in the same region, and we keep books for Houston and Harris County businesses with a dedicated senior operator, David-led.

Do I need to visit you?

No. We work remote-first — there's no need to drive to Conroe. Documents move through a secure portal and we meet by phone or video. In-person by appointment when it genuinely helps.

How does remote bookkeeping work?

Inside your own QuickBooks file, with accountant-level access through an encrypted portal. The same senior operator runs your reconciliations and monthly close — the standard puts last month's numbers in your hands by the 10th. Distance changes nothing.

What does it cost?

Monthly bookkeeping from about $450/month; one-time cleanup or catch-up typically $1,500–$5,000. Indicative ranges — your exact fixed fee is scoped in writing after a free review. See pricing.

Houston's economy, real experience

A metro this varied needs books that fit the business.

Houston runs on energy, the Medical Center, the port, and tens of thousands of owner-run businesses. Here's where we fit — including the corners David has worked from the inside.

Restaurants & hospitality

Houston's dining scene is one of the country's best — and one of the hardest to keep books for. David spent six real years at a resort hotel — spa, restaurants, and golf course: POS reconciliation, prime cost, tips and COGS are familiar ground.

Restaurant bookkeeping

Construction & contractors

Houston builds constantly. Job costing, work-in-progress, and retainage make construction books their own discipline — we run them inside QuickBooks so the numbers per job are real.

Professional & medical practices

Law firms, agencies, and medical or dental practices around the Texas Medical Center and beyond — clean monthly reporting and a senior operator who knows the difference between billings and collections.

E-commerce & retail

Channel reconciliation, inventory, and COGS across the platforms a modern Houston retailer sells on — tied out monthly so you actually know your margins.

Nonprofits & churches

Greater Houston's nonprofit and faith community is enormous. David spent 20 years with a national nonprofit at board level and five with a church — fund accounting and designated giving from lived experience, not a manual.

Nonprofit bookkeeping

Owner-run & growing

Most Houston businesses are owner-run and past the spreadsheet stage. A reconciled monthly close and real reporting — without hiring and managing in-house staff.

Whatever you run in Houston, the standard is the same: a dedicated senior operator, David-led and reviewed to his 40-year standard. More on David's background →

How it works from 40 miles away

Remote, but never distant.

Being in Conroe rather than the middle of Houston is not a compromise — for bookkeeping, it's irrelevant. The work happens inside your QuickBooks file and a secure portal, not across a desk.

What you'd actually notice is the opposite of distance: one dedicated senior operator who learns your business, answers when you call, and closes your books on a fixed cadence — the kind of attention a downtown firm with a churning junior bench rarely gives.

Your own QuickBooks file

We work inside your QBO or Desktop file with accountant-level access — you keep it and your full history.

Secure, paperless handoff

Encrypted portal, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access — no statements driven across town.

The same operator, by the 10th

One senior person every month, a reconciled close delivered to a by-the-10th standard.

I've kept books for Houston-area businesses for years from right up the road in Conroe. For the work that matters — clean reconciliations, a close you can trust, a person who picks up — being forty miles north has never once been the thing that mattered.

Twenty years with a national nonprofit. Six years at a resort hotel — spa, restaurants, and golf course. Five years with a church. He has seen these books from the inside.

Houston FAQ

Straight answers for Houston business owners.

No — and we won't pretend to. Westgate Financial Services is based in Conroe, Texas, about 40 miles north of downtown Houston in the same metro region. We serve Houston-area businesses remotely and responsively, with in-person meetings by appointment when something genuinely needs one. You get a senior operator who answers, not a storefront you'll never visit.
Yes — Houston and Harris County small businesses are a core part of who we serve. From the Energy Corridor to the Heights to the suburbs, we keep books for owners across the metro: a dedicated senior operator on your file, led by David Westgate and reviewed to his 40-year standard.
Absolutely, and it's most of what new Houston clients come to us for. A bookkeeping cleanup or catch-up runs entirely through a secure portal — we get access to your QuickBooks file and statements, fix what's wrong or behind, and hand you clean, CPA-ready books. Being in Houston rather than Conroe changes nothing about how the work gets done.
Neither is required. We work remote-first: documents move through a secure portal and we meet by phone or video, so there's no need to make the drive to Conroe. If an in-person meeting genuinely helps — a complex handoff, a first conversation you'd rather have face to face — we'll arrange it. Just ask.
We work inside your own QuickBooks Online or Desktop file with accountant-level access — you keep the file and your history. Documents come through an encrypted portal with multi-factor authentication, the same dedicated senior operator runs your reconciliations and monthly close, and the standard we run puts last month's numbers in your hands by the 10th. Distance is irrelevant; continuity is the point.
We provide sales-tax support — tracking taxable sales, keeping the numbers reconciled, and helping with the filing process — as part of operational bookkeeping. We are not a CPA firm and don't give tax advice or file your returns; for the tax determination itself we work alongside your CPA. The bookkeeping side that makes Texas sales-tax filing painless is squarely what we do.
No. Westgate Financial Services is an operational accounting firm — bookkeeping, the monthly close, QuickBooks management, and advisory. David is a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, not a CPA. We keep your Houston business's books clean, reconciled, and CPA-ready, and we work alongside your CPA at tax time.
Monthly bookkeeping starts around $450/month; a one-time cleanup or catch-up is typically $1,500–$5,000; a QuickBooks file cleanup is typically $750–$2,500. These are indicative ranges — your exact fixed fee is set in writing after a free review, with no hourly billing. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.
