Travis County is Travis County is the fifth-most populous county in Texas and home to Austin — the state capital, a global technology hub, and one of the fastest-growing cities in America.. Anchored by the City of Austin, the county is home to a diverse economy spanning manufacturing, healthcare, technology, real estate, and hospitality.
With BMW, Michelin, and GE all having major operations nearby, the area attracts suppliers, contractors, and professional service firms at a rapid pace. That means more small business owners who need clean books — and that's exactly where Tides comes in.
Whether your business is headquartered in downtown Austin or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.
The state capital and Silicon Hills — a global tech hub with Dell, Tesla, Samsung, Apple, and hundreds of startups alongside a legendary live music and food scene.
Home to Dell Technologies world headquarters. A thriving tech corridor with major employers and a growing suburban business community.
A fast-growing northwest suburb with strong retail, healthcare, and professional services. Home to the H-E-B Center and a booming residential market.
A rapidly expanding northeast suburb with a growing tech presence, diverse small business community, and strong residential development.
An affluent Lake Travis community with luxury real estate, professional services, and a strong base of entrepreneurs and remote workers.

Serving Travis County means knowing it. From the BMW corridor in Greer to the trails of Travelers Rest — here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the county.
Travis County's transformation from textile powerhouse to global manufacturing hub is one of the great economic reinvention stories in the American South. Once home to dozens of textile mills along the Reedy and Enoree rivers, the county pivoted dramatically in the 1990s and 2000s — anchored by major international investment that completely reshaped its economic identity.
BMW Manufacturing Co. opened its first US plant in Spartanburg in 1994 — just minutes from Travis County's border in Greer — catalyzing an enormous supplier ecosystem that spans both counties. Michelin's North American headquarters sits directly in Travis County, making it one of the most significant global tire manufacturing command centers in the world.
Today, Travis County blends its tech identity with state government, a world-class university, a legendary music scene (SXSW, ACL), and one of the most entrepreneurial cultures in America. That combination creates an enormously diverse small business ecosystem — from food trucks and music venues to SaaS startups and defense contractors — all of which need reliable bookkeeping.

"We're a SaaS startup that went from 3 to 20 employees in a year. Our books were a disaster — subscriptions everywhere, contractor payments mixed with employee payroll, and we had no idea what our actual burn rate was. Tides cleaned everything up and now our CFO dashboard updates weekly. Our investors were impressed at our next board meeting."
