THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS — October 2026 — Freese, Peralez & Associates, LLC (FPA), a boutique CPA firm specializing in strategic business tax planning, consulting, and compliance, is proud to announce its recognition as a 2026 Winner of Distinction in the Better Business Bureau's Awards for Excellence program.

Presented by the Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston and South Texas, the Awards for Excellence recognize businesses that demonstrate a commitment to ethical business practices, customer service, and marketplace trust.

For FPA, this recognition represents an important milestone in the firm's continued commitment to serving businesses with professionalism, integrity, and personalized attention.

The honor also follows another significant achievement: FPA's recognition as Best CPA Firm in The Woodlands by Living Magazine for three consecutive years: 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Together, these distinctions reflect a growing reputation built on specialized tax expertise, trusted professional relationships, and a commitment to understanding the needs of established businesses.

Recognizing a Commitment to Business Excellence

The BBB Awards for Excellence program celebrates organizations throughout the Greater Houston region that demonstrate business practices aligned with the Better Business Bureau's emphasis on trust, integrity, and accountability.

Being named a 2026 Winner of Distinction is particularly meaningful to FPA because the firm's approach to client service has always extended beyond preparing tax returns.

Successful business owners face increasingly complex decisions involving taxation, growth, investments, acquisitions, and business structures. Navigating these challenges requires a tax advisory relationship built on communication, responsiveness, technical expertise, and a thorough understanding of each client's objectives.

At FPA, these principles are reflected in the firm's guiding philosophy:

Observe. Listen. Execute.

This philosophy begins with understanding each client's business, looking beyond the obvious to identify tax considerations and opportunities, and implementing thoughtful strategies that support long-term objectives.

Specialized Tax Expertise for Growth-Focused Businesses

Unlike accounting firms offering a broad range of bookkeeping, payroll, and general accounting services, Freese, Peralez & Associates concentrates on business taxation.

The firm's primary services include:

• Strategic Business Tax Planning: Identifying opportunities, evaluating tax implications, and developing proactive strategies for businesses with complex tax situations.
• Business Tax Consulting: Providing specialized guidance related to entity structures, multistate taxation, transactions, investments, and other sophisticated tax matters.
• Business Tax Preparation and Compliance: Supporting accurate, timely tax reporting for established businesses and complex entities.

FPA works with business owners, CEOs, CFOs, and financial decision-makers across industries including construction, manufacturing, real estate investment and development, and other growth-oriented sectors.

The firm's boutique structure allows clients to receive personalized attention while accessing sophisticated tax expertise.

For companies navigating multiple entities, operations across state lines, significant capital investments, or evolving ownership structures, this combination of specialization and accessibility can be particularly valuable.

A Growing Record of Recognition in The Woodlands

FPA's 2026 BBB Winner of Distinction award adds to a series of recognitions reflecting the firm's standing in The Woodlands business community.

In 2024, 2025, and 2026, readers of Living Magazine selected Freese, Peralez & Associates as Best CPA Firm in The Woodlands through the publication's annual Best Of awards.

These community-voted recognitions, combined with the BBB Award for Excellence, represent two distinct forms of recognition: one reflecting local community support and another recognizing business excellence.

While each award carries its own significance, together they reinforce the principles FPA seeks to demonstrate in its professional relationships: trust, consistency, responsiveness, and a commitment to high-quality service.

The firm is also a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating.

What This Recognition Means for Our Clients

For businesses evaluating a new CPA or tax advisory relationship, credentials and technical knowledge are important. Equally important are the qualities that shape the ongoing relationship: communication, accountability, accessibility, and confidence in the professionals advising the business.

At Freese, Peralez & Associates, the objective is to provide clients with more than an annual tax preparation engagement.

The firm emphasizes proactive planning, ongoing communication, and tax strategies developed around each business's circumstances and goals.

The 2026 BBB Winner of Distinction recognition is an opportunity to celebrate the firm's progress while reaffirming the standards that guide its work.

Above all, FPA extends its appreciation to its clients, professional referral partners, and the business community for the relationships and confidence that continue to support the firm's growth.

Looking Ahead: Continuing Our Commitment to Excellence

As tax laws evolve and businesses encounter new opportunities and challenges, Freese, Peralez & Associates remains focused on delivering specialized, forward-looking tax advisory services.

The firm will continue investing in professional expertise, strengthening client relationships, and helping established businesses navigate complex tax decisions with greater clarity.

The recognition is an honor. The commitment behind it remains unchanged.

Observe. Listen. Execute.
