Audit defense, pre-audit reviews, and practical taxability answers — for Texas businesses, and for the CPA and bookkeeping firms that serve them. Fixed fees, full transparency, no surprises.
An audit notice in hand, a number you'd like to know before an auditor picks one for you — or just a straight answer on how Texas tax treats a job, contract, or invoice. Built for contractors, home services, and Texas service businesses.
Texas sales & use tax expertise on a flat monthly fee — white-label or behind the scenes — without hiring a full-time SALT specialist or sending the client relationship outside the firm.
I know how these audits are built, how samples are chosen, and what an auditor looks for first — because I did it. That's the whole product, not a sales line.
Every price is on this site. No "call for a quote," no surprise hourly bills. You know what it costs before you commit.
Texas sales & use tax only. No income tax, no franchise tax, no multi-state work — and I'll tell you fast when a question belongs with someone else.
I review potential underpayments, but I also look for overpayments, available credits, and refund opportunities that may offset exposure. That scan is built into the work.
I'm Patrick Fulker. I spent nearly six years at the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts — first as a sales tax field auditor, reviewing records, selecting samples, identifying taxability errors, and developing audit adjustments, and then as the agency's internal IT auditor. That experience is the entire reason this firm exists.
Frontline does one thing: Texas sales & use tax. For business owners, that means audit defense and pre-audit reviews with published fixed prices and transparency commitments in writing. For accounting firms, it means a fractional sales tax desk — citation-backed answers and document reviews your firm can deliver under its own brand.
Straight about what I am and what I'm not: I'm a former Comptroller sales tax auditor — not a licensed CPA or a licensed Texas attorney. For Texas sales tax representation, Comptroller Form 01-137 authorizes an accountant, attorney, or other agent to represent you. If your situation needs a CPA or lawyer, I'll tell you and point you to one. And I won't take a case I personally worked on while at the Comptroller — I screen every new client against that line.
Fifteen minutes, no pressure. Tell me your situation and I'll tell you honestly what I'd do next — including when the answer is "you don't need to hire anyone."
