Dental Practices
Solo and group practices tracking production, collections, and hygiene profitability across locations.
Law Firms
Litigation, transactional, and contingency firms managing WIP, realization rates, and partner distributions.

Why Tribus
Built by business owners for business owners
We have run businesses, met the payroll, and answered to the bank, so we build the back office we wished we had: experienced people, redundant coverage, modern technology, solutions scoped to your business, and communication you never have to chase.
Deep experience
Advisors who have closed the books, run payroll, and sat in the owner's seat across hundreds of Texas practices and small businesses.
Business continuity
Every account is staffed with redundancy, so vacations, turnover, and surprises never stall your close or your payroll.
Cutting-edge technology
We leverage modern accounting, payroll, and reporting platforms so your data is automated, accurate, and available when you need it.
Tailored solutions
Scope built around your specialty, your size, and the decisions in front of you — never a one-size-fits-all package.
Constant communication
Planned reviews plus a team that answers. Calling your advisor never costs extra, so you reach out before decisions get expensive.
Predictable flat fees
One flat monthly fee scoped up front. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices — you know the cost before the work starts.

Common Questions
Before you reach out
- Do you replace my CPA?
- No. We handle your bookkeeping, payroll, HR, reporting, and CFO-level strategy, then coordinate tax planning with the CPA you already trust. If you do not have one, we introduce you to a vetted firm in our network.
- How is this different from bookkeeping?
- Bookkeeping records history. We use it to drive decisions on pricing, staffing, distributions, debt, and expansion, and we translate the numbers into plain English.
- What does engagement cost?
- Engagements are fixed monthly fees scoped to your revenue and complexity. You will know the number before any work begins, with no hourly surprises.
- Are you only in one Texas city?
- We serve owners across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, meeting on site when it helps and virtually when it does not.
