Problems We Solve

Why Businesses Choose Us
Here's why DFW business owners prefer to work with us instead of doing it themselves.
One Firm Handles Everything
Books, tax, payroll, strategy consulting. It all works together. When one firm does it all, nothing falls through the cracks. Need something adjusted or have a unique situation? Just tell us and we'll make it happen.
We've Seen Your Situation Before
We have years of experience. That mess from your last bookkeeper? We've fixed it. Books that haven't been touched in two years? Seen it many times. We've handled every problem there is.
Local Service With No Contracts
You'll have access to local expertise, starting at $200/mo. No surprises. Pay more only if your business genuinely needs more work. Catching up on old books? We discount bulk work because we know you're already behind.
Behind On Your Books? We'll Catch You Up.
Haven't touched QuickBooks since 2022? Still using a spreadsheet? We don't judge, we just fix it. Most businesses come to us behind. We'll get you caught up and keep you current from that point on.
Know Where You Actually Stand
Right now you're probably guessing if you're profitable. We'll show you real numbers, what you're making, where money's going, which services make money and which don't. Make important decisions based on facts.
Your Time Is Worth More Than This
You could spend your weekends digging into QuickBooks. Or you could let us handle it while you do what actually makes you money. DIY bookkeeping usually means mistakes and hours of frustration.
What We Offer
Choose the services your business needs. Nothing more, nothing less.
Bookkeeping
We do the data entry you hate, organize everything for taxes, and catch you up no matter how far behind you are. You'll know exactly what you spent, what you made, and what you owe.
Tax Preparation
We prepare and file your business taxes, track quarterly payments, and find deductions you didn't know existed. No surprises, no penalties, no more deadline stress.
Payroll Management
We keep the IRS and TWC happy. Paychecks go out on time, taxes get deposited, paperwork gets filed. You focus on running your business instead of calculating withholdings.
IRS Representation
We speak to the IRS on your behalf. Whether it's an audit, notice, or payment plan, we'll handle the communication and protect your interests.
Advisory Services
Should you expand? Hire more people? Take that loan? We analyze your numbers and give you answers about what your business can handle.
Fractional CFO
Get CFO-level financial strategy without the full-time salary. We handle budgeting, forecasting, and help you make data-driven decisions.
Industries We Serve
Here are some of the industries we know best. Not on the list? No problem. We work with all types of businesses.
Solo Entrepreneurs
You've got enough hats to wear without adding bookkeeper to the list. We manage the books, taxes, and finances like the expert you need.
Small Businesses
Too big to DIY your books, too small for a finance department. We're the professional financial team you need at this stage.
Growing Businesses
Stop spending nights on QuickBooks when you should be planning your next move. We handle the financial complexity that comes with growth.
Healthcare & Wellness
You went into medicine to help people, not reconcile EOBs. We track overhead, insurance payments, patient billing. You focus on patients.
Construction & Trades
Get paid in chunks but bills come monthly. We help manage cash flow, track expenses by job, and handle all those 1099s at year-end.
Professional Services
Your time is worth hundreds per hour. Don't waste it on bookkeeping. We handle trust accounts, expenses, and project costs.
Creative Services
Project income, client retainers, deductible expenses. We track profitability by project and make sure you're making money on every client.
Logistics & Trucking
Freight bills take forever to pay but fuel and drivers can't wait. We balance cash flow, track costs, and handle all that IFTA paperwork.
Restaurants & Catering
We know the difference between a profitable Saturday night and just a busy one. Food costs, labor, waste. We'll track what really matters.

About Us
Centennial Bookkeeping is led by John Ornelas, a CPA who brings unique insight from his years as an IRS Special Agent and Texas Comptroller auditor. John investigated financial fraud for the IRS and audited businesses for the Texas Comptroller before entering private practice. Now he uses that knowledge to keep DFW businesses organized and compliant. He's also a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor who's prepared books for everyone from contractors to high-net-worth business owners.
Based in Southlake, we serve businesses throughout the DFW metroplex. We've been doing this long enough to know what works and what doesn't for local businesses.
Work with us and you'll have access to professionals who understand tax compliance from every angle. We know most small businesses don't need complex tax schemes, they need clean books, reliable payroll, and reports that help them run their business. That's what Centennial provides. We keep your finances organized so you never have to worry about audits or compliance issues.
Books behind? We'll catch them up. QuickBooks giving you trouble? We'll fix it. Need someone who actually understands Texas sales tax? That's us. We handle the financial work that keeps your business running smoothly.
