Tax Prep & Bookkeeping in Lampasas, TX
Tax preparation and monthly bookkeeping for Lampasas households, downtown businesses and small operations across Lampasas County.
A Lampasas County practice, for Lampasas County
Moreno Financial Services is based in Kempner, in southeastern Lampasas County, so Lampasas is our own county seat. The county does its business in the 1884 courthouse on East Fourth Street, restored and rededicated in 2004. We handle the part that happens at your kitchen table: the books and the return.
Lampasas itself is a town of 7,988 people by the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate, and its chamber calls the heart of it the Historic Downtown Square.
Lampasas sits where US 281, US 183 and US 190 meet, and the Census Bureau counts Lampasas County as part of the Killeen-Temple metro area. If your paycheck comes from one town and your side business runs from another, your records probably live in both places too. Monthly bookkeeping keeps a side business's records in one place.
Bookkeeping for Lampasas shops, trades and small operations
The city's own list of top employers runs from Lampasas ISD and Ajinomoto to Walmart, Oil States, AdventHealth Rollins Brook Hospital and H-E-B. Around them are the smaller businesses that keep the square busy, and the farms and ranches beyond it: the 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 1,076 farms in Lampasas County, with livestock making up nearly all of their sales.
A small operation needs the same few things from its books. Each transaction is categorized, bank and card accounts are reconciled, and you get a profit and loss report you can actually read. When a year has a couple of big sale months and a lot of quiet ones, monthly bookkeeping keeps the quiet months on paper too.
Our monthly bookkeeping starts at $600/mo, with the exact quote set on a free call before any paid work begins. If you are behind, a catch-up cleanup rebuilds the missing months first. For bookkeeping clients who need it, we can also run payroll on QuickBooks and Intuit.
Tax preparation for Lampasas households
If your return starts with a paycheck from a Lampasas employer and then picks up something extra, such as contract work, a side business or a booth at a market, the extra part is where the records pile up. Tell us about it on the free call and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
Tax preparation starts with a free 15-minute call, where we learn your situation and quote a clear fee before work starts. Individual returns start at $250. Our tax preparation checklist shows what to gather, we prepare the return, and we walk you through it before anything is filed.
Where Lampasas business owners find local help
Three places worth knowing, and none of them is connected to us. The Lampasas County Chamber of Commerce is on US 281. The Lampasas Economic Development Corporation works from East Third Street. And the Texas State University Small Business Development Center, based in Austin, counts Lampasas County among the twelve counties it serves.
When the books or the return need a person, call us. The first conversation is free, and the town's springs and sculpture garden will still be there when you are done.
Lampasas questions, answered
Is Moreno Financial Services in Lampasas County?
Yes. We are based in Kempner, in southeastern Lampasas County. The first step is a free 15-minute call, and on that call we explain how documents and meetings would work for you.
What does bookkeeping cost for a small Lampasas business?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $600/mo. The exact quote depends on how many transactions and accounts you have, whether you need payroll, and how much catch-up work comes first, and you get that quote before any paid work begins.
My business has a few big months and a lot of slow ones. Does monthly bookkeeping still make sense?
Keeping the books monthly puts the slow months on paper too, so year-end becomes a review instead of a rebuild. We can talk through whether it fits your operation on the free call.
Can you prepare a return with income from more than one source?
Yes. We prepare returns that combine a paycheck with side income or a small business. Tell us what your year looked like on the free call and we will quote a clear fee before we start.
