For Houston business owners

Start With the Decision That Moves the Most Money

If you own a business, the biggest numbers usually aren’t on this year’s return. They come from selling or buying a company, what it is worth, how cash is managed and how income is structured. That is where Michelet Financial focuses. Brandt Michelet, owner and CEO, has 15+ years in accounting and finance, including a senior accounting role at Landry’s, Inc., where he also worked for Tilman Fertitta, managing his finances.

CPA vs. Tax Accountant: What Houston Clients Should Know

“Tax accountant” describes the work. “CPA” is a license: in Texas, CPAs are licensed by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, and you can check a CPA’s license on the board’s website. Enrolled agents are licensed by the IRS, and tax attorneys are licensed by the state bar. Every paid preparer needs an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN).

CPAs, enrolled agents and attorneys can represent taxpayers before the IRS. At Michelet Financial, Brandt leads the planning and preparation work, and his team includes a CPA and tax attorneys. When IRS representation is needed, it's handled by the CPA and tax attorneys on Brandt's team.
