Accounting & Tax Services in Aledo, TX
Aledo is a small, affluent community in Parker County west of Fort Worth, known for its award-winning school district and equestrian properties. The town attracts families and business owners seeking rural lifestyle with Fort Worth access. Equestrian operations include horse training, boarding, and breeding facilities requiring specialized agricultural accounting. Residential construction booms as families relocate for the Aledo ISD schools. Small retailers and service businesses line the historic downtown. Many Aledo residents are business owners who commute to Fort Worth or Dallas, needing year-round tax planning for pass-through entities. SDO CPA helps Aledo equestrian operations maximize agricultural exemptions and depreciation schedules, assists construction businesses with job costing and contractor compliance, and guides small retailers through sales tax and inventory accounting.
Texas Tax Planning Tip
Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, but the Texas franchise tax (margin tax) applies to businesses with revenue above $2.47 million. S-Corp and partnership owners should analyze whether the E-Z Computation rate (0.331% of revenue) or the standard rate (0.75% of margin) produces a lower tax bill.

Common Challenges for Aledo Business Owners
Challenge
Equestrian and ranching operations require specialized knowledge of agricultural exemptions, livestock depreciation, and conservation easements that general CPAs often lack.
Our Approach
We provide proactive tax planning tailored to Aledo’s equestrian economy, helping you maximize agricultural exemptions, properly classify bloodstock as depreciable assets, and navigate conservation easement strategies.
Challenge
Many Aledo business owners struggle to get timely responses from their CPA, especially during busy seasons when questions are most urgent.
Our Approach
SDO CPA provides direct access to your CPA team with same-day response times. No call centers, no waiting weeks for answers.
Challenge
Tax preparation alone doesn’t help Aledo business owners understand their financial position or make informed decisions throughout the year.
Our Approach
We deliver monthly financial reports with actionable insights, helping you understand cash flow, profitability, and tax liability before year-end.
“SDO CPA restructured our horse breeding operation’s accounting to properly classify bloodstock as depreciable assets, saving us over $45,000 in taxes through cost segregation and Section 179 elections.”— Sarah M., Equestrian Operations in Aledo
