Bookkeeping, payroll, and tax services for small businesses across Dallas and Texas
You're running a growing business, which means you're already doing five jobs, and somehow the bookkeeping, payroll, and tax deadlines are supposed to fit in there too. They don't have to. Village & Vine Consulting handles your financial foundation as one connected picture, so the books stay clean, the deadlines stay met, and you stay focused on the work only you can do.
Why comprehensive business financial services make all the difference when your business starts growing fast
Most growing businesses end up with a patchwork: maybe a bookkeeper who records what happened but can't say what it means, a tax preparer who appears once a year, and software that's only as good as the time you have to manage it. Nobody in that setup is watching the whole picture, and nobody is responsible for looking ahead.
Village & Vine holds every piece of your financial picture, connected and accounted for
We're a family-run financial team led by Laura Strobel, a licensed Texas CPA, providing bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning, and strategic guidance as one connected engagement. Because the people keeping your books are on the same team as the people planning your taxes, nothing falls through the cracks and nothing surprises you. The result: current, accurate financials, quarterly tax estimates you can trust, and a clear read on your profitability all year long.

Is Village & Vine Consulting right for your business?
We work with business owners across Dallas, Fort Worth, and all of Texas, in person from our North Richland Hills office or virtually through Zoom meetings and our secure client portals.
Our business services are an especially good fit if:
Your business is growing steadily and the financial side hasn't kept pace with the rest of the operation.
You've caught yourself wondering whether you're actually profitable, or making big decisions based on what's in the bank account this week.
Your bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes are handled by different people (maybe including you) who never talk to each other, so things slip through the gaps.
You want to understand your numbers before you commit to your next hire, expansion, or big purchase
You're done with providers who go quiet for months, and you'd rather pay for a responsive team that knows your business than gamble on the cheapest option.
Your financial foundation, handled.
Everything your business needs to stay financially aware, handled by one team that knows you and your business well.

“Laura has been our CPA for many years. We can't say enough of good things about her. She has gone way beyond the call of duty with our business relationship. It seems like I'm calling her frantic to get things done and she is always willing to help. She does our business taxes and our personal taxes. I highly recommend her.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A bookkeeper records and organizes your transactions. A CPA is licensed to handle higher-level work like tax strategy, planning, and representation before the IRS. Most businesses need both, and most businesses hire them separately, which is where things fall through the cracks. Village & Vine puts bookkeeping, payroll, and CPA-level tax work on one connected team, led by licensed Texas CPA Laura Strobel, so the people recording your numbers and the people planning your taxes are looking at the same picture.
-
Yes, and you won't be lectured about it. Messy books are one of the most common starting points for new clients, and cleanup is something we handle all the time (QuickBooks cleanup is a standard add-on across our tiers). Come as you are. We'll get things current and accurate, then keep them that way.
-
Quite possibly, and this is exactly what our Quarterly Support tier is for. Your in-house bookkeeper keeps handling the day-to-day while we review your profit and loss position twice a year, make sure the books are tax-ready, and prepare your returns. You keep the person you trust, and you gain a licensed CPA as well as a team of para-professionals looking at the whole picture.
-
Continuity, mostly. You never repeat your story to a new provider, nothing gets lost in a handoff between your bookkeeper and your tax preparer, and problems get flagged when they're small because the same team sees your numbers all year. It also means one relationship to manage instead of three, which matters when you're already stretched.
-
Earlier than most owners do. The honest answer: if you're asking the question, you're probably there. Common signals include crossing the point where you can't personally keep up with the books, planning a hire or expansion, getting your first unpleasant tax surprise, or realizing you can't say with confidence whether you're profitable. Starting before a crisis is always cheaper than starting during one.
-
Our business engagements run from $6,800 per year for a twice-yearly review with tax preparation (Supporting Role) up to $4,150 per month for a full administrative and accounting team (Full Village), with two tiers in between. Every engagement starts with a consultation call where we figure out the right level together, and pricing is based on the work involved.
