IMAAR Associates provides bookkeeping services in Fort Worth, TX for manufacturers, logistics and distribution companies, and businesses in the local aviation supply chain who need accurate, job-costed books without adding a full-time hire. Your books are handled by a dedicated bookkeeping team and reviewed by a US-licensed CPA — delivered remotely, at offshore pricing instead of a Fort Worth hourly rate.
Fort Worth's economy is built around producing and moving physical things. Aviation manufacturing has deep roots here — the city is home to a major aircraft production facility and the supplier network that surrounds it, from precision-parts machine shops to specialty coatings and assembly subcontractors. Alongside that sits a broader manufacturing base and, further north, the Alliance corridor: one of the largest inland logistics hubs in the country, built around rail, air cargo, and highway distribution. A bookkeeper in Fort Worth needs to be comfortable with inventory, work-in-progress, and job costing — not just categorizing bank transactions.
For manufacturers and aviation-supply-chain businesses, that means tracking cost of goods sold, raw materials, and labor by job or purchase order so you know real margin per part or contract, not just an overall gross number. For logistics and distribution companies, it means separating fuel, driver or contractor pay, and equipment costs from general overhead, and tying revenue back to specific loads or client contracts. We set your QuickBooks Online or Xero file up around that structure from the start.
COGS, work-in-progress, and inventory valuation tracked by part number or job so margin is visible per contract.
Subcontracted work, specialty materials, and purchase-order-level costing for parts and assembly suppliers.
Fuel, driver/contractor pay, and equipment costs tracked separately, with revenue tied to loads or contracts.
Texas has no state income tax, on individuals or on pass-through business income, which takes state withholding tables and estimated-tax vouchers off your calendar entirely. That's a genuine simplification for a manufacturer or logistics company managing payroll for a shop floor or a driver fleet. It doesn't remove Texas's entity-level franchise (margin) tax, which most LLCs and corporations above the state's revenue threshold still owe annually, and manufacturers selling taxable goods still need to collect and remit sales tax correctly across whatever jurisdictions they ship to or operate in.
For a business with real inventory and job-costing complexity, accurate books matter for more than the franchise tax report — they're what tells you whether a given contract or product line actually made money once materials, labor, and overhead are allocated correctly. Fort Worth bookkeeping done right means your Texas franchise tax filing and your internal job-costing numbers are pulled from the same accurate source, not reconciled separately after the fact.
We don't have a physical office in Fort Worth, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What we offer instead is a dedicated bookkeeping team supported by a US-licensed CPA reviewer, delivered securely through the QuickBooks Online or Xero account you already use — the same setup whether your business is on the Near Southside, out toward Alliance, or on a shop floor near the Stockyards. Skipping the downtown-office overhead is a large part of how we keep Fort Worth bookkeeping priced flat and predictable, instead of billing an hourly rate that climbs fastest during your busiest production or shipping cycles.
Pricing is based on transaction volume, whether inventory or job costing is involved, and whether catch-up work is needed first — never an open-ended hourly rate. Get a custom quote after a short call about your current books.

No — we don't have a physical office in Fort Worth or anywhere else in Texas, and we won't pretend otherwise. Bookkeeping is delivered remotely by a dedicated team and reviewed by a US-licensed CPA, the same way whether your business is near the Alliance corridor, the Near Southside, or a plant floor on the west side of town. Not carrying local office overhead is a big part of how we keep pricing flat instead of billing a Fort Worth hourly rate.
Yes. We set up QuickBooks Online or Xero to track cost of goods sold, work-in-progress, and job costing by part number, purchase order, or contract, so you can see real margin per job or product line, not just a company-wide number. That includes tracking raw materials, subcontracted work, and inventory valuation as products move through production.
Yes. Freight, warehousing, and distribution businesses around Fort Worth's Alliance corridor typically need clean tracking of fuel, driver or contractor pay, equipment costs, and revenue by load or contract — we build that structure into your books rather than leaving it as one undifferentiated expense category.
