El Paso businesses don't need a department
A national call center will take your documents. A local shop will file what you hand them in April. Neither sits with you on cash, job margin, or a Comptroller notice in July.
Elev8 is built the other way: one Enrolled Agent, limited engagements, a flat retainer. Remote and on-site across Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. The home base is El Paso; Las Cruces and southern New Mexico are in the same working map, not a "we'll refer you out" footnote.
You talk to Oskar. (915) 257-3416 · oskar@elev8cfo.com. Engagements are limited on purpose.
Same ledger, four lanes
Do not treat these as four vendors. The books close once; tax, compliance, and CFO work all read that close.
Tax preparation, planning & IRS representation
Business and owner returns, year-round planning, quarterly estimates, multi-state filings. Credential detail: IRS Enrolled Agent.
Monthly bookkeeping, payroll & 1099s
Categorized, reconciled, closed on a calendar. Cleanup when the ledger is behind.
Sales/use, NM GRT, TX franchise, BPP
One calendar, three states. Hub: compliance services. Borderland depth: TX–NM compliance.
Fractional CFO
Rolling cash forecasts, job and product margin, KPI reviews, a partner at the table. Flat monthly retainer, scoped after assessment.
Three tiers, one flat monthly fee
Fractional CFO work is also quoted as a scoped retainer, described on the CFO page. Assessment call → financial review → custom plan. Elev8 does not perform audit, review, or compilation. Full scope conditions are confirmed at the assessment call. See if we're a fit →
Not a national call center
El Paso is home base — not a virtual pin on a map. Las Cruces and southern New Mexico are in-scope: GRT, multi-state books, and the same advisor.
Texas franchise tax and New Mexico GRT sit on one calendar, next to sales/use and county BPP renditions — the actual operating problem for owners who bid in both states. Colorado clients are served remotely, on the same three-state compliance stack.
Bilingual EN/ES — start in Spanish at /es if that's the easier door.
Construction & Trades, Childcare, Consumer Lending, Professional Services
Construction is the deep page in this pack — job costing, Knowify Certified Advisor, crews and retainage, TX/NM jobs.
