Our story

A family firm that decided taxes didn't have to feel stiff.

Three decades, three generations, and one stubborn belief: professional financial guidance shouldn't come with a side of dread.

Since the early '90s

It started with Jim.

Over thirty years ago, Jim Montgomery opened a practice on a simple promise: give people straight answers and treat them like neighbors.

That promise stuck. Clients sent their kids; those kids sent theirs. Today Kyle carries it forward alongside Stephen Peyton, CPA — same values, same relaxed style, a lot more tax law.

Enrolled Agent

Kyle joined his father's practice in 2007 and has spent nearly twenty years helping Collin County folks tackle their taxes without the headache. As an Enrolled Agent, he's federally licensed to represent clients directly before the IRS.

Straight answers, relaxed style, genuinely cares about the person in his chair. The guy you want in your corner when the IRS comes knocking.

Stephen Peyton — “The Business Guy”

Certified Public Accountant & co-founder

Stephen leads bookkeeping and business consulting — helping owners build organized systems and make confident decisions, in a style that's practical, understandable and human.

A small business owner himself, he knows the grind. Outside work: family, a good book, or the gym.

What we stand for

The stuff that hasn't changed in 30 years.

Straight answers

Plain English, no jargon, no upselling. If you don't need something, we'll tell you.

We pick up the phone

A real person who knows your file answers when you call — in March and in September.

No judgment

Behind on filings? Shoebox of receipts? That's a normal Tuesday for us. Let's just get it sorted.
