About Luna CPA & Our Expertise

What services does Luna CPA offer?

Luna CPA is a full-service Certified Public Accounting firm based in Laredo, Texas. We specialize in tax strategy, accounting, and advisory services for high-income earners, entrepreneurs, and international clients. Our services include tax preparation and planning, business formation, bookkeeping, payroll, financial statement preparation, IRS compliance, and entity restructuring. We take a personalized approach to ensure our clients minimize taxes and maximize profitability.

What is the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is a licensed professional who has completed extensive education, examinations, and state certification. CPAs can represent clients before the IRS, perform audits, and provide advanced tax planning — something unlicensed accountants cannot do. At Luna CPA, every client benefits from the expertise and ethical standards required of a CPA firm.

Who does Luna CPA serve?

We primarily serve high-income individuals, business owners, and international clients. Whether you're running a logistics company, tech startup, or investment firm, we help you manage growth, reduce tax liabilities, and maintain compliance.

What makes Luna CPA different from other accounting firms?

Luna CPA combines local Texas expertise with international tax knowledge. We specialize in complex tax structures for high-net-worth clients and foreign investors. Our CPA-led approach ensures every strategy is accurate, compliant, and aligned with your long-term goals.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

For business owners and high-income professionals, quarterly check-ins are ideal. These meetings allow proactive tax adjustments, estimated payment planning, and financial forecasting — avoiding surprises at year-end.

Business Formation & Accounting Services

Can Luna CPA help me start a new business in Texas?

Absolutely. We guide clients through entity formation, including LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp setup, EIN registration, BOI reporting, and Texas Secretary of State filings. We also help implement accounting systems for accurate financial tracking from the beginning.

What types of entities does Luna CPA work with?

We work with LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, partnerships, and foreign-owned entities. We help determine the structure that best aligns with your tax strategy and liability goals.

Can Luna CPA help me decide between an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp?

Yes. We analyze your income, ownership structure, and future plans to recommend the most tax-efficient setup. We also handle the necessary IRS elections (Forms 2553 or 8832).

Does Luna CPA prepare financial statements for management or lenders?

Yes. We prepare management-use-only and compiled financial statements often requested by banks, investors, or business partners. These reports are prepared to professional accounting standards, labeled "no assurance provided."

What's included in your bookkeeping and accounting services?

We provide monthly reconciliations, categorized financials, profit and loss reports, and cash flow tracking. Our bookkeeping ensures accurate records, financial transparency, and easy year-end tax preparation.

Do you provide payroll and Texas Workforce Commission support?

Yes. We handle payroll setup, filings, and TWC compliance to ensure your employees are paid correctly and all payroll taxes are filed on time.

Tax Strategy & IRS Compliance

How does Luna CPA help high-income earners with tax planning?

We specialize in strategic tax planning for high-income professionals. Our approach identifies deductions, tax credits, and retirement opportunities while structuring income to minimize taxable exposure — all within IRS guidelines.

How can Luna CPA help during tax season?

We manage document collection, prepare accurate returns, and e-file on your behalf. Our proactive guidance helps you make smart decisions before year-end to reduce next year's tax bill.

Can Luna CPA help with IRS letters or audits?

Yes. As licensed CPAs, we represent clients directly before the IRS and Texas Comptroller. We handle correspondence, audit responses, and negotiate resolutions while ensuring your rights are protected.

How does Luna CPA help with Texas Franchise Tax and Comptroller filings?

We prepare Texas Franchise Tax Reports, handle sales tax filings, and maintain good standing with the Texas Comptroller's Office. We also manage reinstatements for businesses that have fallen out of compliance.

How does Luna CPA protect my financial information?

We use encrypted cloud storage, secure portals, and multi-factor authentication. Our firm fully complies with IRS Publication 4557 and all data privacy regulations to safeguard client information.

What is the benefit of year-round accounting versus seasonal tax filing?

Year-round accounting gives you real-time insights, early problem detection, and continuous tax optimization. Instead of rushing during tax season, we plan strategically throughout the year.
