The Numbers Speak for Themselves
Founded by Brandt Michelet — who managed financials for Tilman Fertitta and Landry's Inc. across a large portfolio of hospitality and entertainment brands.
Full-Service Financial Firm
Tax Returns Are Just the Beginning — Here's Everything We Do
Michelet Financial is a full-service business advisory firm. From tax strategy and business valuations to M&A advisory and capital raising, we handle the high-stakes financial decisions that move your business forward.
Tax Strategy, Filing & Mitigation
Proactive year-round tax planning that legally minimizes what you owe — entity structuring, quarterly strategy, and full federal + state filing built around a plan, not a deadline.
Self-Employed & 1099 Tax Preparation
Schedule C filing, business deductions, quarterly estimates, and year-round tax planning for contractors, freelancers, gig workers, and side businesses.
Strategic Planning
Financial positioning to support growth, lending, and owner decisions — structured so the next capital raise, acquisition, or exit is not improvised.
Working Capital Management
Unlock cash trapped in receivables, payables, and inventory — so growth does not outrun liquidity. Pair with P&L and cash-flow reporting.
Business Acquisition Strategies
A structured buy-side process for acquiring businesses — target identification, financial due diligence, deal structuring, and negotiation support from start to close.
Cash Flow Optimization
Identify where cash is trapped in your business and build systems that improve liquidity, timing, and predictability — so growth doesn't outrun your bank account.
Merger & Acquisition Advisory
Sell-side M&A advisory and full transaction management for business owners preparing to exit — positioning, marketing to buyers, and managing the deal to close.
Investment Advisory Services
Investment strategy and portfolio guidance built on the same financial discipline Brandt used managing capital at Landry's Inc.
Profit & Loss Management
Ongoing P&L oversight that turns your financial statements into a decision-making tool — spot margin erosion and cost drift before they compound.
Business Valuations
Certified income, market, and asset-based valuations for M&A, estate planning, litigation support, ESOPs, and buy-sell agreements.
Compliance & Auditing
Proactive compliance reviews across tax filings, entity maintenance, and multi-state exposure — closing gaps before they become costly.
About the firm
Built by a Strategist From Landry's Corporate Accounting
Brandt Michelet — Owner & CEO
Before founding Michelet Financial, Brandt worked directly alongside Tilman Fertitta and Landry's Inc. — a large portfolio of restaurant and entertainment brands. He drove financial efficiency, deal support, and tax strategy at a scale commodity tax shops never see.
He brought that large-company discipline to Houston owners. When Brandt looks at your company, he's not running a filing checklist — he's running M&A, valuation, P&L, cash-flow, and tax strategy as one engagement.

Advisory Review Opportunities
Where Better Financial Review Can Help
Examples of issues a coordinated tax and advisory review may uncover. Results depend on each client’s facts, records, eligibility, and implementation.
Review prior filings for missed elections, depreciation choices, and properly documented business deductions before deciding whether an amendment makes sense.
Evaluate entity structure, rental activity, depreciation treatment, and recordkeeping with the client’s tax and legal professionals.
Self-employed software consultant who had been overpaying for 3 years. Filed amended returns for 2021-2023. Recovered additional overpaid taxes plus set up quarterly estimates to avoid future penalties.
