01What we do
Clean books. A bigger personal refund. A business return that doesn't cost you more than it has to. Everything we offer is built around getting those right.

ASTEX Tax & Financials LLC is a San Antonio accounting and tax firm. Whether you're an individual filing a personal return or an owner running payroll for a growing team, we save you time, protect you from costly mistakes, and help you make better decisions with numbers you can trust.
A dedicated professional who learns your file — not a call center and a new preparer every season.
From a first W-2 return to a multi-entity company with payroll, both sides under one roof.
We work with our clients in English and Spanish, so nothing about your money gets lost in translation.
03Why choose us
The difference isn't the software — every office has the same software. It's who reads your file, how fast they get back to you, and whether they're still there when a letter arrives in the fall.
Seasoned tax and accounting professionals who work with the IRS and the State of Texas every single week.
Reconciled, reviewed and double-checked. Your numbers hold up — to a lender, to a buyer, or to the IRS.
Most individual returns are completed within days of receiving your documents, not weeks.
You work with a real person who knows your file — not a different preparer and a new intake form every year.
San Antonio owners rely on us for their books, payroll and returns, year after year.
We answer the phone in July. Questions, notices and planning don't stop when tax season ends.

06The tax year
Missed filings are the most expensive kind of avoidable mistake. Here's the federal calendar we track on your behalf — hover any date to see who it applies to.
Apr 15 — Form 1040 and Form 1120 are due, along with the Q1 estimated payment.
Deadlines move to the next business day when they fall on a weekend or federal holiday. We track every one of these for our clients, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

08FAQ
If yours isn't here, just ask. We answer questions before you're a client too.
For most individuals: a photo ID, Social Security cards or ITIN letters for everyone on the return, all W-2s and 1099s, mortgage interest (1098) and property tax statements, tuition (1098-T) and student loan interest, child-care provider details, and last year's return if you have it. Businesses should also bring profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reports, payroll records, asset purchases and any 1099s issued. Not sure? Book a free consultation and we'll send you a checklist built for your exact situation — you'll never guess.
Yes — small businesses are the core of our practice. We work with LLCs, S-corps, partnerships and sole proprietors across construction, trucking, restaurants, retail, real estate and professional services. We can handle everything from bookkeeping and payroll to your annual return, or just the pieces you don't want to do yourself.
Absolutely, and please don't ignore it — most notices get more expensive with time. Bring or send us the letter and we'll read it, explain in plain language what the IRS is actually asking for, and respond on your behalf. We handle CP2000 notices, balance-due letters, identity-verification requests, amended-return issues and audit correspondence. Many notices turn out to be resolvable with a single well-documented response.
Yes. Monthly bookkeeping is our most popular service: we categorize your transactions, reconcile your accounts and deliver a profit-and-loss and balance sheet every month. We also offer quarterly plans for lower-volume businesses, plus one-time catch-up and clean-up work if you've fallen behind — no judgment, we've seen worse.
Yes, and doing both in one place is usually to your advantage. Business income flows onto your personal return in most entity structures, so preparing them together lets us coordinate owner compensation, distributions and deductions to lower your combined tax bill instead of optimizing one return in isolation.
It depends on the complexity of your situation, and we'll tell you the price before we start any work — no surprise invoices. A straightforward individual return costs far less than a multi-state business return with payroll. Your initial consultation is free, and you'll leave it with a clear quote.

Bring last year's return, your books, or just your questions. We'll tell you exactly where you stand and what it would cost to fix it — before you commit to anything.
