Brett Bickham graduated from Tarleton State University, with university honors (Cum Laude), in May of 2017 with a Bachelors of Business Administration, BBA, in Accounting. This new degree should complement his existing experience as an industrial cost estimator. Brett has worked with Intuit’s financial and tax products as well as IRS Tax Code since 1990.
Rule Accounting’s main goals are:
- Provide cost control for ranchers and farmers.
- Provide assistance with setting up QuickBooks.
This bears repeating from my FAQ:
- Rule Accounting is owned and operated entirely by Brett M. Bickham, 2017 graduate of Tarleton State University with a BBA in Accounting.
- Rule Accounting is not licensed in the great state of Texas as a Certified Public Accountant.
- Rule Accounting is not a Certified Managerial Accountant through the Institute of Managerial Accountants.
- Rule Accounting operates out of Bosque County, Texas as a Sole Proprietorship DBA.
- Sole proprietorships and partnerships need to register and file the business name (DBA or assumed name) with their local county clerk’s office.
- The State of Texas does not require a general license. All entities that transact business in Texas are required to register with the Texas Secretary of State or county clerk’s office. As a result, the certificate of formation received from the Secretary of State’s Office, or the assumed name certificate provided by the county clerk’s office, satisfies as the “general business license” requirement that exists within other states.
- Data processing is a service performed with a computer using the customer’s data. Entering, storing, manipulating, or retrieving a customer’s data is taxable. But merely using the computer as a tool to help perform a professional service is not taxable.
- When you provide a professional service, such as engineering or bookkeeping, and use a computer as a tool to complete that service, your charges are not taxable.
