If every American had to see the cost on their receipt, would these wars still be so popular?

In this episode, Kelly Hancock, Acting Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, breaks down what the Comptroller's office actually does—and what the latest numbers say about the Texas economy. Hancock discusses revenue estimating, procurement, contracts, and why sales tax trends matter so much to the state budget. He also explains how Texas is tracking key indicators like manufacturing, construction, and the impact of major projects such as data centers, plus how the state is making more economic data accessible to the public through Texas Comptroller “TexStats.” The conversation also covers the rollout of Texas Education Freedom Accounts (education savings accounts)—including registration numbers, program priorities, and the office's focus on customer-service speed and transparency. Finally, Hancock addresses procurement policy changes tied to DEI-era frameworks, what “leveling the playing field” means in practice, and why he wants stronger auditing authority to protect taxpayer dollars.

Alicia walks through her systematic approach to year-end cleanup, explaining why many business owners' books contain errors that go unnoticed until tax time. She covers the most common trouble spots—from duplicate revenue in undeposited funds to improperly categorized transactions—and demonstrates how to use QuickBooks' built-in tools like the Reclassify feature and Report Options to fix problems at their source rather than just making adjusting journal entries. The episode emphasizes why proper cleanup matters: automations and banking feeds learn from past behavior, so correcting the underlying transactions prevents the same mistakes from recurring year after year.Sponsors(00:00) - Welcome to The Unofficial QuickBooks Accountants Podcast (00:25) - Year-End Cleanup for Tax Time (02:30) - Importance of Accurate Bookkeeping (04:32) - QuickBooks Tools for Cleanup (14:49) - Reconciling Accounts Properly (18:19) - Categorizing Transactions Correctly (20:51) - Adjusting Inventory and Equity (24:42) - Analyzing Reports for Anomalies (26:03) - Conclusion and Class Promotion Alicia's current classes: 1099s in QBO: http://royl.ws/QBO1099?affiliate=5393907, recording with CPEQBO Year-end Cleanup for Taxes: http://royl.ws/yearend?affiliate=5393907, recording with CPEProjects & Job Costing in QBO: http://royl.ws/ProjectCenter?affiliate=5393907, recording with CPESales Tax in QBO: http://royl.ws/SalesTax?affiliate=5393907, recording with CPEPayroll Perfection Bundles (4 QBO Payroll classes - 1099s, Running Payroll, Compliance, and QB Time), Live Feb 3-10: http://royl.ws/payroll-perfection?affiliate=5393907 We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickBooksPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

The conversation dives into Sugar Land's unique history as a company town built around Imperial Sugar, the creation of a dedicated Department of Redevelopment, and why single-family housing alone cannot support a city's long-term finances. Jessica explains how community engagement, honest trade-off conversations, flexible planning, and city-led redevelopment of the historic Imperial site are shaping Sugar Land's next chapter, offering lessons for any community facing limited land, changing markets, and rising expectations.

Please leave us a review here — even one sentence helps! 10 actionable takeaways for economic developers If your city is landlocked, every acre decision is a long-term financial decision Single-family housing alone will not sustain municipal services over time Create space for redevelopment before crisis forces it Be honest with residents about trade-offs, not just benefits Sales tax strategy matters just as much as property tax in many states Avoid being overly prescriptive in RFQs and redevelopment plans Lead with outcomes and identity, not tenant wish lists Community visioning works best when residents are asked real questions Historic assets should inform the future, not freeze it Cities that fail to adapt risk losing relevance, not just revenue Special Guest: Jessica Huble.
