Virtual from day one. Impersonal never.
A licensed, nonattest CPA firm headquartered in Montgomery, TX — in practice since 2009, registered as a CPA firm in 2017, and virtual-first long before remote work was fashionable. Our focus is entirely tax, accounting, and advisory: no audit conflicts, no divided attention.
Meet Kevin Hemingway, CPA · MBA · EA.
Kevin Hemingway is the managing shareholder and principal CPA of HEMINGWAY CPA INC — a licensed Certified Public Accountant and IRS Enrolled Agent, credentialed to both prepare returns and represent clients before the IRS.
Kevin personally handles the intake for every new client and reviews and signs every completed tax return before it is filed. That isn’t a policy statement — it’s how the firm has operated since day one. You will meet your CPA at the start, and your CPA will be the last set of eyes on your return before it goes out. His approach is methodical, direct, and technology-forward: he built the firm to deliver large-firm rigor with the kind of personal accountability only a principal-led practice can offer.
He’s also sat where his clients sit — and the résumé reads like his client list. Kevin started in dealership fixed operations, where he built a Kenworth dealer’s internal repair department into a steady profit center. Corporate accounting and controllership followed: automating SaaS revenue at a software company, building project budgets alongside engineers on biofuel builds, and consolidating thirteen oilfield-service locations across multiple states as controller for Delta Rigging & Tools — the kind of work that runs on financial modeling and advanced Excel work, not instinct. The MBA underneath it (University of Houston–Clear Lake) is where that toolkit came from: how to frame a decision, build the model, and plan against the numbers, not folklore. Along the way, in 2009, he founded Bookends Business Services and grew it into what is now HEMINGWAY CPA INC — more than fifteen years of meeting payroll and making the same equipment and hiring calls his clients face. The advice here comes from the chair, not the textbook.
The county on the letterhead is home, too: Kevin has served on the board of Family Promise of Montgomery County, including two years as vice chair, and spent seven years on the board of the Conroe Symphony Orchestra, including a term as treasurer.
Lean, direct, and allergic to wasted motion.
The result is a firm that runs like the businesses it serves. You get principal-level attention on every engagement, answers in plain English, and a bill that reflects value — not headcount. Today, the same discipline governs how we use AI: as a tool that clears the mechanical work, never as a substitute for judgment.
Licensed Where It Counts
Every return here is prepared and signed by a licensed CPA or IRS Enrolled Agent — a standard since the firm was founded. No seasonal preparers, no outsourced labor, ever — not during tax season, not any other time of year. Bookkeeping and administrative work is performed by our own staff under licensed supervision, and no unlicensed hand ever exercises judgment on a tax position. The credential standard doesn’t flex when volume increases.
Where We Work
Headquartered inside The Westland Bunker — a Tier 3 secured business and data facility in Montgomery, TX — with in-office meetings by appointment for Montgomery County, Conroe, Magnolia, and The Woodlands. For everyone else: fully virtual, across Texas and nationwide.
Focus
Contractors, trades, and trucking — the same local businesses we buy from — have been the core since 2009 — field-service businesses whose accounting runs on trucks, crews, equipment, and job sites. Small businesses and individuals get the same rigor.
Governance
Confidentiality is a system here, not a slogan: qualified vendors only, consent-first where federal law requires it, encrypted document exchange, and licensed eyes on everything that leaves the firm.
Education & Credentials
B.A., The University of Texas at Austin · MBA, University of Houston–Clear Lake · CPA, Texas State Board of Public Accountancy · IRS Enrolled Agent · QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor · AICPA member · Bilingual, English and Spanish.
The MBA is where the analytical toolkit came from — how to frame a decision, build the model, and plan against what the numbers say. It shows up in every engagement as financial modeling and advanced spreadsheet work, not just a line on this list.
