Industries
Accounting and tax for the businesses we work with most.
Ashmore Books works with U.S. small businesses and growing companies across a range of industries, from first-hire businesses to multi-entity companies that need CFO-level support. Every engagement starts from the same question: do the numbers hold together?
Client types
Where the accounting problems tend to look alike.
Featured
Content Creators & Influencers
YouTubers, streamers, podcasters, and influencers: platform payouts and brand deals reconciled, 1099-K and 1099-NEC tied out, estimated taxes, and cleanup when a year of the books is PayPal and Stripe dumps.
Featured
Franchise Owners
Multi-unit franchisees with several LLCs: consolidated close, profitability by location, cash management for payroll-heavy operations, and tax planning across entities.
Featured
HOA & Condo Associations
Boards and treasurers inheriting books nobody can explain. Reserves separated, owner ledgers rebuilt, reconciliations that hold, and the return filed.
Featured
E-commerce Brands
Shopify, Amazon, and processor payouts reconciled to gross sales, real product margin, and the state thresholds nobody is watching.
Professional Services
Agencies, consultants, and firms with retainers, deferred revenue, contractor payments, and owner compensation questions.
Medical, Dental & Home Care
Physician and dentist-owned practices and home care agencies: on-time monthly financials, equipment purchase tax planning, tax planning for high-margin practices, payroll-heavy cost control, and CFO reporting.
Texas Home Care Agencies
Personal care and home care agencies in Texas: EVV, billing, and payroll hours that tie out, STAR+PLUS payments reconciled, and books ready for the HHSC cost report.
Restaurants & Hospitality
High transaction volume, POS and delivery-platform deposits, tips and payroll liabilities, and sales tax that must reconcile.
Real Estate / Rentals
Property-level reporting, loans and escrow, security deposits, and Schedule E or partnership return support.
Trades / Construction
Job costing, retainage, equipment loans, subcontractor 1099s, and progress billing.
Multi-entity Businesses
Intercompany activity, shared expenses, consolidated management reporting, and coordinated tax filings.
Growing Companies Needing a CFO
