Business Services That Support You at Every Stage

---

While we are not a CPA firm, our founder Emely brings a strong foundation of education, experience, and ongoing professional development. She earned her Bachelor’s in Accounting in 2010 and her Master’s in Accountancy in 2013 from the University of Houston, C.T. Bauer College of Business.

Emely is currently pursuing her Enrolled Agent (EA) designation — a federally issued credential by the IRS that focuses exclusively on tax law, ethics, and representation. She has already passed 1 of the 3 required exams and will keep clients updated as she progresses.

Although the CPA license is highly respected, it’s also a broad credential that covers many areas not relevant to the services we provide. CPA candidates study subjects such as auditing, financial reporting for public companies, business law, and governmental accounting — topics essential for auditors and professionals working with large corporations or public entities.

While Emely is a CPA candidate and may complete that path in the future, her current focus is on gaining credentials that are laser-focused on what our clients actually need — expert support with bookkeeping, tax filings, and financial clarity for individuals and small businesses.

Not yet. Our founder, Emely, is currently working toward becoming an Enrolled Agent (EA) — a federally licensed designation issued by the IRS that allows tax professionals to represent clients in audits, appeals, and other matters directly with the IRS. She has passed 1 of the 3 required exams and will keep clients informed as she completes the process.

In the meantime, we are still able to call the IRS on your behalf and request transcripts or gather information with your written authorization (Form 8821 or Form 2848). Full representation rights will be available once the EA designation is complete.

EA stands for Enrolled Agent — a federally licensed tax practitioner authorized by the IRS to represent taxpayers in all matters, including audits, collections, and appeals.

To become an EA, a tax professional must pass a rigorous three-part exam that covers:

• Individual Taxation 
• Business Taxation 
• Ethics and IRS Representation

The EA license is the highest credential issued directly by the IRS, and it focuses 100% on tax law, compliance, and representation — making it extremely relevant for small businesses, self-employed individuals, and anyone needing expert tax support.

Unlike CPAs or attorneys, EAs are nationally recognized and can practice in any state without needing additional licensing. Once licensed, EAs must complete annual continuing education to stay current on tax law and IRS regulations.

At Business Services Unlimited, our founder Emely is currently pursuing her EA designation and will keep clients updated as she completes the process.

We offer bookkeeping, tax preparation, financial reporting, sales tax filing, 1099 filing, business consulting, and more. We also handle special projects like inventory tracking, process implementation, and internal controls. 

Note: While our work goes beyond traditional bookkeeping, Texas law limits the term "accounting" to CPAs. So, even with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Accounting, we stick with the term "bookkeeping" to stay compliant. 

Pricing depends on the type of work and level of involvement. You can find our standard pricing at www.bsuhtx.com/pricing, or reach out for a custom quote based on your business’s needs.

Yes. We require deposits before we begin:

• Bookkeeping: Starts at $500 depending on the scope
• Personal Tax Returns: $350 deposit
• Business Tax Returns: $800 deposit
  Final payment is due before we e-file any tax returns or release completed work.

We’ve learned the hard way that waiting 30–60 days for payment during tax season is unsustainable. Filing also comes with fees on our end. To stay efficient and serve all clients well, we ask that all invoices be paid in full before filing or delivery.

Yes! Most of our clients are fully remote. We use secure online platforms to share files, hold virtual meetings, and communicate efficiently no matter where you're located.

Nope — we serve clients across the U.S. Whether you're in Texas or out of state, we can support your bookkeeping and tax needs virtually.
