| In-Person & Remote Service AvailableCPA Services for Katy Small Business Owners
Katy has evolved from a small railroad town into one of Houston's most dynamic retail and residential corridors along the I-10 West corridor. With thriving franchise businesses, healthcare practices, and a rapidly growing professional services sector, Katy small business owners often operate across multiple entities — a primary LLC, a holding company, or an S-corp — that create real tax planning opportunities.

Katy Tip: The S-Corp Election Could Save You Thousands
Many Katy business owners netting $50,000 or more from their LLC pay self-employment tax on 100% of that income (15.3%). An S-corp election changes that: you pay yourself a reasonable salary and take the rest as a distribution — which is NOT subject to SE tax. For a business netting $100,000, this structure can save $8,000–$12,000 per year. We run the numbers for your specific situation before recommending it.
