Texarkana, Texas is the Bowie County half of a twin city that straddles the Arkansas state line, with State Line Avenue running between the two. It serves as a regional retail and healthcare hub for the Ark La Tex area, and the nearby Red River Army Depot supports defense work and contractors. The economy also includes rail and trucking, timber and paper products, manufacturing, auto dealers, restaurants and many family owned service businesses.
Texarkana businesses often sell into two states, so sales tax and payroll compliance need careful attention. Defense suppliers require contract cost tracking, while timber, manufacturing and trucking firms need inventory and equipment cost reporting. Retailers and restaurants focus on labor and margins. PSG provides organized bookkeeping, multi state awareness and fractional CFO forecasting that help Texarkana owners stay compliant and plan growth with confidence.
Texas has no state individual income tax, but most businesses owe the franchise tax, based on margin, once revenue passes a threshold. Sales tax combines state and local rates, so location tracking matters.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Texarkana companies through a dedicated team that is entirely US based, combining Big Four accounting experience with years of operating experience across industries. Your team closes the books on a regular schedule, works inside the accounting tools you already use and looks at your numbers the way an operator would, not just a bookkeeper.
Typically bank and card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll support, Texas sales tax tracking and monthly financial statements you can act on. Growing companies can add fractional CFO support for forecasting, budgeting and cash planning.
Usually when decisions start to outgrow the books: raising capital or bank financing, opening a new location, making key hires, tightening margins or preparing for a future sale. A fractional CFO adds forecasting and strategic guidance without the cost of a full time executive.
We also work with businesses in Shreveport, Bossier City, Longview, Tyler and Monroe.

“PSG and David Metzler structured an extraordinary M&A deal during a very chaotic period in our business, and I couldn't be more pleased with our partnership.”

“PSG saved my dream. They helped us get our financials in order and renegotiate our lending agreements, pulling us through a tough financial crunch.”

“As our fractional CFO, they accomplished more in six months than our last two full-time CFOs combined. If you're looking for unparalleled financial strategy and integration, hiring PSG is one of the best decisions you can make.”

Hi! I'm Sam, a financial leader who's managed operations from startups to $40M enterprises.
I've led licensing deals with Disney, Marvel, and Viacom, while overseeing products across 35,000 retail stores. Through SHK Financial, I've helped 15+ high-growth companies succeed, including recovering $2M in receivables for a major client and rebuilding a $10M ARR company's accounting system in 6 months. Now, as Chief Accounting Officer at PSG, I oversee 50+ revenue streams and help launch many successful 8-figure businesses.
My journey started uniquely - while studying finance at Fresno State, I taught both chess and accounting to students, teaching me that success in finance, like in chess, is all about strategic thinking and seeing several moves ahead.
