Accountant for Florida small businesses
Online bookkeeping, payroll support, sales tax tracking and tax-ready books for businesses in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale — and every other part of Florida.
Florida's lack of a personal income tax draws owners from everywhere, but the books still need to handle county surtaxes, corporate income tax and the May 1 Sunbiz annual report.
What makes accounting in Florida different
- Florida has no individual income tax, but C corporations pay Florida corporate income tax.
- LLCs and corporations file an annual report with the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), due by May 1.
- Most counties add a discretionary sales surtax to the 6% state rate.
Rates shown are state-level 2026 rates published by the Tax Foundation; local taxes are extra. Always confirm current rates and deadlines with the Florida Department of Revenue.

The state-level rate is 6%. Local rates can add more depending on where the sale happens or is delivered, so your systems need to charge the combined rate for each location. Confirm current rates with the Florida Department of Revenue.
We are an accounting and bookkeeping firm, not a CPA firm, so we do not sign or file returns. We prepare the books, schedules and Florida-specific details your CPA or Enrolled Agent needs, and coordinate with them directly. If you need a preparer, we can introduce you to one.
