Dallas, Texas

If you came to open a firm, this page is the client's side.

A client asks for a date, a close, and an invite. This address answers from that chair, and from no other.

What a client actually asks to start

These four rows are the client's request. They are not a curriculum.

The first thirty days
Every line in this table belongs to the same group: Other filings.
Other filings
clientDay 1The call, and the month you want closed
Day 2An invite into the file you already pay for
Day 12One operating account agreed to the bank
The following tenthThe first page you are allowed to trust
A picture of a start. The days are not a measured average, and no client date is filled in.

What this page will not teach

No entity steps. No launch budget. No advice on winning clients. If that is the errand, you are in the wrong chair, and the honest ending is to stop here.

If you are the hiring reader who landed on this page by mistake, the rail is the other door. The license point, for a report that must be signed, lives on the short list page.

A start date is not a license

Dating the first close is ordinary work and the person on this rail holds no CPA license. Audits, reviews, compilations and reports that give assurance on your statements stay with a firm that holds one.

Payroll can be prepared here and is run by you on a provider you own. This desk doesn't stand in for you in an examination. The rest of the wording is on the disclosures page.

Source. Texas Occupations Code sections 901.451, 901.453 and 901.456, the rules behind that limit, read 29 September 2026 while dating a first close.

Then the page ends

Breadth, for the person opening a firm, is not offered here. Height is the refusal to coach around a credential this desk does not hold.
