5 Best Accountants in Fort Worth, TX (According to a Totally Biased Accountant)

So… you’ve had it with Excel? 

Good. Because if you’re still tracking your income in a spreadsheet and hoping TurboTax magically understands your HVAC business or your salon’s finances, this post is for you.

Let’s talk about the best accountants in Fort Worth. The good ones. The ones who actually answer the phone. And yes, we’re going to list ourselves first, because shocker, we think we’re the best. 

But we’ll be fair (mostly). And we’ll give you our recommendations for other firms worth knowing too.

1. Adam Traywick, LLC

Best for: Small businesses like salons, barbershops, and trades (plumbing, HVAC, etc.)

Alright, yes, we’re biased. But hear us out.

We’re not the kind of accountants who disappear after April 15. We work with you year-round. We help you raise prices when margins are too thin. We help you buy your second location. We show you where you’re bleeding money. 

Basically: we’re in it with you.

What people say:

“Adam tactfully dissected my scattered QuickBooks account and gave me simple, actionable steps.” — Emma C. M.

Pros:

• Actually talks to you throughout the year
• Knows the ins and outs of businesses
• Uncovers major tax savings (we often find missed deductions with every new client)
• Handles your personal and business tax returns

Cons:

• If you want someone who only responds in April, we’re not it

Final Thoughts: Get Rid of the Excel Sheet, Seriously

If you’ve been managing your books in Excel or only talking to your CPA once a year… it’s time for a glow-up.

Hiring a real accountant, one who understands your business and talks to you throughout the year, can save you thousands in taxes, hours of stress, and help you make better decisions every month.

If you’re ready to ditch the spreadsheet life and work with someone who actually cares about your business, we’d love to chat. 

And hey, if one of the other firms on this list seems like a better fit for you right now? That’s cool too. Just promise us one thing: stop going it alone.
