What is "client-centric" service? It is providing the highest professional service with a
focus on your convenience. It is putting your needs first. Think of Tuncap Accounting as
your business concierge. The client-centric principle in action, is a paradigm. For
example, our business clients are busy with running their businesses. And most of our
individual clients work a regular weekly schedule for a living. We do not expect them to
interrupt their work day schedule to meet at a time convenient to us. Instead, we arrange
our schedule to fit our client's needs.
You are more than welcome to come to our office during regular business hours, but we
are also willing to meet with you in the evenings or over the weekends! In some cases we
will offer to come to our client's location!
Our flexible business hours generally run from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. So when we say to
feel free to contact us at your convenience, we mean exactly that! If we're unable to pick
up right then, please leave a message and we'll get back to you ASAP... that's a promise!!!
"Client-centric" service also means providing 100% of our attention to your needs. If
Russell is meeting or consulting with you, then he won't answer his phone during your
discussion. He offers you the respect and courtesy to focus on your concerns without
interruption. By the same token, please understand that when you call he may be with a
client. But remember that someone will return your call ASAP!!!
With "client-centric service," you can be sure of this... the only services that we
offer to individuals are tax and financial services. The only services that we offer
to businesses are tax, accounting, business consulting, and interim management.
We do not sell insurance, mutual funds, mortgages, or “cross sell” any
other financial products or services.

What is the difference between a CPA and a CMA?
Russell Tuncap, who's office is at 2611 FM 1960 West, Suite F-222, Houston 77068, is often asked about the
difference between a CPA and CMA. There are several differences Russell can point out. The Certified Public
Accountant, or CPA, is a license to practice public accounting, or "holding ones self out to the public" as a CPA.
The CPA license is issued by each state's governing body. In Texas, where Russell is licensed as a CPA, the
governing agency is the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. Although there are reciprocity rules between
all of the US states, the rules are slightly different for, and created by, each state. The requirements to hold a
license as a CPA has changed over the years, increasingly demanding more knowledge in areas of accounting,
tax, both state tax and federal tax, business management, auditing, and often acting as a consultant to small
business owners. Many CPA's offer services to the public such as QuickBooks implementation, tax preparation,
e-filing tax returns, IRS representation, payroll services.
On the other hand, Russell states that the Certified Management Accountant, or CMA, is not a license. The CMA
is a certification that is issued by the Institute of Management Accountants. The CMA is recognized by business
entities world-wide. The requirements of a CMA in Texas are the same as a CMA in any other part of the world. To
hold the CMA designation, the accountant is also required to have training and knowledge in accounting, tax
implications, financial and managerial reporting, cost accounting, business consulting, organizational (human
resources) behavior and cost behavior. The CMA is typically the accountant inside the business.
The comparison between the two certifications can be viewed as that the CPA will be the consultant who
recommends the changes in a business and it will be the CMA who actually implements the changes. Since
Russell is both a CPA (Texas) and a CMA, not only will he know the theory and desired results of the
recommended changes, but he will also know how to implement and track the changes within the business. In
other words, Russell is not just a consultant... he is a "worker bee" too.
Tuncap Accounting offers workable solutions to your business problems. Tuncap Accounting offers a full range of
accounting services, tax preparation, federal e-filing, IRS representation, tax planning, financial management,
small business consulting, QuickBooks implementation, contract accounting, project accounting, payroll services.
