Bookkeeping & Payroll for
Boerne Businesses
Weekly bookkeeping, payroll, and back-office operations for owner-operated businesses across Kendall County.
Owner-Operated Doesn't Mean the Owner Should Be Doing the Books.
Boerne businesses tend to be owner-run and quality-driven — custom builders, established professional practices, Main Street retail, boutique service firms. The kind of business where the owner's judgment is the product, and where that owner is also the person reconciling the bank account at nine at night because it's the only slot left.
That's an expensive way to do bookkeeping. Not because of the hours, but because it's the wrong hours. Time spent categorizing transactions is time not spent on the client relationship, the bid, or the hire — and the books still end up thinner than they'd be if someone did them properly.
Kendall County has also grown considerably, and growth changes what the books need to do. A business doing high-value, low-volume work needs job or engagement-level profitability, not just a company total — because with a small number of large jobs, one bad one is your whole year.
- The owner is still the bookkeeper, at night
- Profitability known at the company level, not by job or client
- A handful of large jobs where one bad one changes the year
- Draws, payroll, and personal spending blended together
- Reporting that arrives too late to act on
- Growth that added complexity but not infrastructure
- Multiple entities that were never properly separated
- A year-end scramble that repeats annually
Everything a Boerne Business Needs, From One Team
Start with one service or hand over the whole back office. Most clients begin with one or two and expand when coordinating providers stops being worth their time.
Bookkeeping
Transactions entered and allocated every week, reconciled and closed every month. Not a pile that gets sorted in January.
- Weekly coding, monthly reconciliation
- Balance sheet reviewed, not just the P&L
- Statements days after close
Payroll & HR Compliance
Full payroll processing, tax filings, and the compliance paperwork that comes with having employees. Roughly 8,000 payrolls a year.
- Hourly, salary, overtime, and contractors
- Payroll tax filings handled
- Certified payroll for public work
AP, AR & Collections
Bills paid on time, invoices out on schedule, and someone actually following up on what's aging.
- Vendor bills and check runs
- Invoicing and payment application
- Collections calls we make, not you
Catch-Up & Cleanup
Months or years behind is a normal way to start. Diagnostic review first, written scope and fixed price before any work begins.
- Fixed price, quoted up front
- History brought current
- No lecture about how it happened
Reporting & Advisory
Dashboards you can open any time instead of a report you wait for, plus controller and CFO-level support when the business needs it.
- Custom dashboards and KPIs
- Controller oversight
- Forecasting at $2M revenue and up
The Full-Service Package
Bookkeeping, payroll, AP/AR, reporting, controller oversight, and office support under one team at one flat monthly price.

- No coordinating three providers
- Scoped before we begin

Built for How Hill Country Businesses Actually Earn
High-value work at lower volume needs different books than high-volume work at thin margins. Most bookkeeping is built for the second kind.
Custom Home Builders
Long build cycles, allowances, change orders, and draw schedules. Job-level margin you can see while the house is still going up, not after it closes. We're deeply involved with a custom builder already. Construction services →
Specialty Trades
The trades that serve high-end residential work — where reputation matters more than volume and a callback costs more than the job made. Trades services → · Insurance audits →
Medical & Dental Practices
Established practices with multiple providers and, often, several entities. Payer reconciliation, provider-level profitability, and intercompany accounts that actually tie. Practice services →
Professional Services
Firms where the deliverable is expertise. Engagement or client-level profitability, retainers handled properly, and realization you can actually see.
Main Street & Retail
Boutique retail, tasting rooms, and hospitality. Inventory that reflects reality, margin by category, and a clean read on which lines are carrying the store.
Ranch & Land Holdings
Property and land held alongside an operating business, often in separate entities. Books kept properly separate, intercompany activity reconciled, and consolidated reporting when you want the whole picture.
We're the Next Town Over
Bulverde and Boerne are neighbors — a short drive across the Hill Country on Highway 46. That makes us about as local as a bookkeeping firm gets without being on Main Street, and it means meeting in person is genuinely practical rather than a special occasion. Most of the work runs through a secure client portal, and when you call, you get a person who already knows your business.
To be clear about scope: Bulverde Business Solutions provides bookkeeping, payroll, and financial operations services to businesses in Boerne and across Texas. We are not a CPA firm. We do not provide tax, audit, or attest services, and nothing on this page is tax, legal, or investment advice. We keep your books accurate all year, assemble a year-end package your CPA can work straight from, and coordinate with them directly. If you don't have a CPA yet, we can tell you what to look for.
Bookkeeping in Boerne — Answered
What local business owners ask before handing over the books.
Are you actually local to Boerne?
About as local as it gets without a Main Street address. We're in Bulverde, the next town over on Highway 46, which means in-person meetings are practical rather than an event. It also means we understand the Hill Country business landscape because we operate in it, not because we read about it.
We do a small number of large jobs. Does that change anything?
It changes almost everything about how the books should be built. With high volume and thin margins, company-level trends tell you most of what you need. With a handful of large jobs, the company total hides everything — one bad job can consume a good year and you won't see it in a monthly P&L. We set up job or engagement-level costing so each one is visible on its own.
I'm doing the books myself. When is it time to stop?
Usually earlier than owners think. The honest test isn't whether you can keep up — it's what the same hours would be worth spent on the business, and whether the books you're producing are good enough to make decisions from. Most owner-kept books are current but shallow: accurate bank balances, no job-level detail, no real close. That's fine until you need to know something specific.
How much does bookkeeping cost in Boerne?
A flat monthly price, quoted after we look at your transaction volume, employee count, entity count, and which services are in scope. We don't bill hourly and we don't meter phone calls. If you need catch-up work first, that's quoted separately as a fixed price before anything starts — you'll never get a surprise cleanup invoice.
We have a few entities — an operating company and some property. Can you handle that?
Yes, and it's common here. Each entity gets its own reconciled set of books, intercompany due-to and due-from accounts get reconciled monthly rather than accumulating, and related-party rent or management fees get recorded on both sides. You get both standalone and consolidated reporting. Unreconciled intercompany accounts are the most common mess we inherit.
Can you work with our existing CPA?
Yes, and we'd encourage you to keep them. We're not a CPA firm and don't prepare returns. We keep the books accurate all year and hand your CPA a year-end package they can work straight from. Most CPAs would much rather receive clean books than reconstruct a year from statements.
