Full-Service Outsourced Accounting for Austin Businesses That Are Ready to Scale
Austin has attracted a lot of attention over the past decade, and the business community here has grown to match it. Contractors are running multiple job sites across the metro. Architecture and engineering firms are booked out. Real estate developers are working deals across several entities at once. The financial side of all that activity has to be managed precisely or things fall apart fast.
Devine Consulting is located in Sugar Land, and we serve all Austin clients the same way we serve every client, with a single point of contact, consistent and concise monthly reporting, and industry-specific knowledge that applies to your business. You won’t get handed off to a random staffer or receive a report that looks like it was built from a template.
Devine opened in 2011, is woman-owned, and we work with a focused set of industries on purpose. Contractors, construction companies, real estate developers, professional services firms, and engineering and architecture firms are who we built this practice around, and they are who we serve.
Bookkeeping and Reporting

Our bookkeeping services cover everything from transaction tracking, reconciliations, to monthly financial reporting so you can always know where things stand.

We offer financial controller services to manage budgeting, compliance, and financial analysis. This ensures your financial operations run smoothly and your business remains financially secure.

Industries We Serve in Austin, Texas
Devine Consulting works with businesses where the financial side is more complicated. We chose these industries because we have the understanding and knowledge of how they operate, and that makes the work we do for our clients meaningfully better.
Contracting
Construction
Professional Services
Real Estate Development
Engineering and Architecture
Contracting
Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties have all seen a major increase in contracting work as Austin’s population and commercial base keeps growing. Contractors here often manage several active job sites at once, and the margin for error on job costing and cash flow is thin. We will handle the financial tracking and reporting so you can stay focused on finishing the work on time and on budget.
Construction Companies
Austin’s skyline looks much different than it did five years ago, and the suburbs stretching north toward Round Rock and south toward Buda are filling in quickly. Construction companies that work across this metro are managing complex payroll, subcontractor billing across multiple jobs, and work-in-progress schedules that have to be right. We take care of that financial infrastructure so it does not become a liability. Learn more about our services for construction companies.
Professional Services
Austin has drawn in a significant number of consulting firms, staffing agencies, marketing companies, and other professional services businesses over the past several years, and a lot of them grew quickly and their accounting did not keep up. We help professional services firms get their financial reporting in order, establish proper oversight, and build the kind of monthly reporting that supports real decision-making.
Real Estate Development
Austin’s real estate market has pushed developers into increasingly sophisticated deal structures. East Austin mixed-use, Domain-area commercial, master-planned communities in Georgetown and Kyle, these projects involve multiple entities, layered financing, and financial reporting that have to hold up under scrutiny. We bring the accounting structure that development work at this scale requires. Learn more about our services for real estate developers.
Engineering and Architecture
The volume of infrastructure, commercial, and institutional jobs in Austin has kept the engineering and architecture firms at capacity. Accounting has to be done properly for all project-based billing, utilization tracking, overhead allocation, and milestone reporting. We work directly with E&A firms that need a reliable financial partner who has the understanding of how those practices are structured.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outsourced Accounting in Austin
Do you work with businesses outside of the Houston area?
Yes. We work with businesses across Texas and throughout the country from our Sugar Land headquarters. Our Austin clients go through the same onboarding process and receive the same level of ongoing service as any other client. Location has not been a barrier for us or for the clients we work with.
What industries do you specialize in for Austin clients?
We work with contractors, construction companies, real estate developers, professional services firms, and engineering and architecture firms. These are the industries we built the practice around. They are not industries we dabble in alongside everything else.
My Austin construction company is growing fast. When does it make sense to bring in a financial controller?
A lot of business owners wait longer than they should to hire a financial controller. If you are managing more than a couple of active projects and your finances are not giving you a real picture of how each one is performing, that is usually the sign to hire. Other problems may include having your CPA asking for cleaner records at year-end, payroll getting harder to manage, or cash flow surprises that should not be surprises. A controller does not have to be a full-time hire. That is what our outsourced controller service is built for.
Do you offer tax preparation or filing services?
No, Devine Consulting doesn’t handle tax prep or filing. Our work only covers ongoing accounting, controller oversight, and financial planning. We help keep your records clean and organized throughout the year so your CPA will have what they need when tax season arrives.
How does onboarding work for a new Austin client?
We start with a conversation to understand your business and take stock of where your accounting currently stands. From there we put together a service plan that fits your situation, get your software set up or integrated, and establish a reporting schedule. The process is organized but it is built around your business, not a checklist we run through the same way every time.
What accounting software do you support?
QuickBooks and Sage Intacct are the two platforms we work in most often. Several team members are QuickBooks ProAdvisors certified by Intuit, and we are a Sage partner. We also support BILL for payables automation. If you are using something else, we will talk through compatibility during our initial conversation.
