We serve so you can lead.

How we serve

Three ways we take the weight off

Most owners come to us carrying some version of the same problem: the books are behind, a statement is due to someone who matters, and there is no time to fix either. We start where you are.

Books & financial statements

Get your accounting set up properly, catch up what is behind, and produce statements you can hand to a lender, grantor, or board with confidence.

  • QuickBooks Online setup and chart of accounts
  • Historical reconstruction and catch-up work
  • Cash and accrual financial statements
  • Monthly bookkeeping and year-end close
  • Invoicing and payment configuration

Tax preparation

Business and personal returns prepared by a CPA who will tell you plainly what the numbers mean and what to expect next year.

  • S corporation, partnership, and LLC returns
  • Texas franchise tax reports
  • Individual returns with Schedule C or K-1s
  • Quarterly estimated payments
  • Prior-year returns and amendments

Sales & use tax

The filings that come due every month whether or not anyone has time for them. We register you, file on schedule, and answer the notices.

  • State registrations and permits
  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual returns
  • Nexus reviews for multi-state sellers
  • Notice responses and back filings
  • Ongoing filing calendar management

Our standard

We serve with excellence in everything we do, and we put the people we serve ahead of the work itself. Our clients are carrying missions that matter to real people. The finances behind those missions deserve the same care.

About the founder

Deanna Brooks

For most of my career I sat on the review side of the table. Public accounting, deal advisory, internal audit inside a Fortune 500 company, and later a seat as a CFO in a growing consumer business. I have seen what happens when the books are clean and someone asks a hard question, and I have seen what happens when they are not. The difference is rarely intelligence or effort. It is usually whether somebody was paying careful attention early enough.

Servant Leader Tax Group grew out of that. The owners and directors I meet are not behind because they are careless. They are behind because they are carrying something: a business, a nonprofit, a program, a payroll, a family. Accounting is the piece that waits until it cannot wait anymore. You will not get a lecture about that here. You will get a plan, a fixed price, and someone who does the work.

The name is the standard I hold myself to. Serving well means excellence in the work itself, and that shows up in details most clients never see: clean support behind every number, documented positions, and deliverables that hold up when a lender, a grantor, or a school district asks for them. It also means putting the person ahead of the transaction. I want to know what you are building and who depends on it, because that is what the numbers are actually for.

I am a licensed CPA based in Houston, and I work with clients across the country. If you are somewhere between overwhelmed and behind, that is a normal place to start a conversation, and it does not change how I will respond to you.

How it works

Quoted before we begin, never after

I

A real conversation

Tell us what you are working with, including anything that is behind. We will ask what we need to understand the scope and nothing more.

II

A written engagement

You receive a fixed fee and a written scope listing exactly what is included and what is not, before any work starts. No hourly surprises.

III

The work, delivered

Drafts for your review, then final deliverables, filing confirmations, and clean records you can hand to anyone who asks.

Request a consultation

Tell us what you are carrying

Answer what you can. If you are behind on something, say so. It is a normal reason to reach out and it will not change how we respond.

We reply within two business days. Sending this form does not create a client relationship, and nothing here is a commitment.
