Getting Started
How do I get started with Moreno Financial Services?
It starts with a free, no-obligation 15-minute call. We listen to your situation, answer your questions, and recommend next steps — only if they make sense for you. There’s never any pressure. Book your free call here.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Your initial strategy call is completely free and carries no obligation. We’d rather earn your trust first than push a sale.
Where are you located, and who do you serve?
We’re based in Kempner, Texas and proudly serve families and business owners across Central Texas — including Killeen, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Lampasas, Temple, and the surrounding communities. Many services are handled by phone or video, so you don’t have to leave home.
Are you really veteran-owned?
Absolutely. Founder Joel Moreno is a U.S. Army combat veteran, and Moreno Financial Services is family-operated. The discipline, integrity, and follow-through we learned in service are the same standards we bring to protecting your family’s finances.
Tax Services
What tax services do you provide?
Individual and family returns, small-business and self-employed filings, amended returns, and year-round tax planning. Our CEO Jessica Moreno holds an MBA and a B.S. in Accounting with 15+ years of experience. See Tax Services for the full list.
Do you understand military and veteran taxes?
Yes — it’s one of our specialties. We handle the situations many preparers miss: BAH, combat pay exclusions, VA disability, TSP, PCS-related moves, and state-of-residence rules for service members.
How does bookkeeping help with my taxes?
Accurate, year-round books mean nothing gets missed at tax time. Clean records make it easier to prepare accurate returns, claim every eligible deduction, stay compliant, and avoid penalties from incorrect filings — and they turn tax season from a scramble into a formality.
Bookkeeping
What is bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organizing your financial transactions — sales, purchases, receipts, and payments — so your records stay accurate and up to date.
What tasks does bookkeeping involve?
Key tasks include:
- Recording financial transactions
- Managing accounts payable and receivable
- Reconciling bank statements
- Maintaining general ledgers
- Preparing financial statements
- Processing payroll
How often should bookkeeping be done?
Regularly — that’s what keeps your records accurate and useful. A typical rhythm looks like:
- Daily or weekly: record transactions and monitor cash flow.
- Monthly: reconcile bank statements, review financial statements, and manage payables/receivables.
- Quarterly: prepare estimated tax payments and review budgets.
- Annually: compile year-end reports, prepare for tax filing, and plan for the year ahead.
Consistent bookkeeping helps you make informed decisions, stay compliant, and always know where your business stands.
Pricing & Working With Us
How much do your services cost?
Tax and bookkeeping work is flat-rate and transparent — you’ll know the full cost before we begin, with no hourly billing that spirals and no surprise fees. Pricing varies by the complexity of your situation, so we’ll give you a clear quote on your free call.
Do we have to meet in person?
Not at all. We’re happy to meet in person locally, but most clients work with us entirely by phone, email, and video — whatever is easiest for you.
