Harris County, Texas
| In-Person & Remote Service AvailableYour CPA in Houston — based in the north-west
The practice works from north-west Houston, and that is where most of its clients are: Copperfield, Bear Creek, Stonegate and Canyon Lakes, Willowbrook, Champions, Fairfield and Bridgeland — the neighborhoods strung along US-290 and Highway 6 through the 77095, 77084, 77064 and 77070 postal areas. The wider city adds energy, healthcare, aerospace, the Port, and a large professional services sector, and Houston clients across all of it face multi-state work, executive compensation, and high-income self-employment questions that a seasonal preparer is not equipped for.

Houston Tip: Self-Employment & Energy Sector Workers
Houston's energy and healthcare sectors produce thousands of 1099 contractors who consistently underclaim deductions. If you are a self-employed consultant or independent contractor, a Solo 401(k) or SEP-IRA can shelter a large share of net profit from income tax — the annual contribution limit is set by the IRS and changes most years. It will not reduce self-employment tax, which is computed before that deduction is taken, so the retirement plan and the entity structure are two separate decisions. Most Houston 1099 workers we meet have made neither.
Meet face-to-face in the Houston area. Ideal for complex situations where a direct conversation makes a difference.

Direct answer: Yes. Mary Ann Hair, CPA works with individuals and business owners in Houston (Harris County) and the surrounding Houston metropolitan area. Houston clients can meet in person by appointment or work entirely remotely. Documents are exchanged through a secure client portal, so nothing sensitive travels by email.
Direct answer: The Houston client base reflects the local economy: energy & oil and gas, healthcare & medical center, aerospace & defense, professional services, and real estate investment. Each of those brings a different set of records, deduction questions, and entity decisions, which is why the engagement starts by reviewing your prior-year return and current bookkeeping rather than a generic intake form.
