Local Considerations (Brandon • Tampa Bay • Florida)

• No state income tax: federal planning still drives savings—estimates, salary/distributions, and retirement timing matter.
• Tourist/bed taxes for STRs: may apply depending on jurisdiction; we help identify and register where needed.
• Business growth patterns: seasonality for hospitality/tourism; plan cash reserves and staffing accordingly.

What We Do (Month–Quarter–Year)

Monthly

• Reconcile accounts; classify transactions with audit-ready notes; deliver financial statements.
• AR/AP aging review with action items; update 13-week cash forecast.
• Sales tax filings (where applicable); W-9 collection for contractors.

Quarterly

• Estimated tax projections & vouchers; payroll and compliance checkups.

Tip: A documented monthly close checklist and consistent due dates are the difference between reactive bookkeeping and decision-ready books.

Common (Costly) Mistakes We Fix

• Mixing personal and business spending; unreconciled months; suspense balances.
• Ignoring sales tax registration/filing where required (especially e-commerce/STRs).

Access & checklist in week 0–1, cleanup weeks 2–4, then into a steady monthly close cadence with quarterly planning.

Can you help with S-Corp setup and reasonable salary?

Yes—entity choice, S-Corp timing, compensation modeling, payroll setup, and documentation to support reasonable comp.

Do you fix prior returns and messy QuickBooks files?

Absolutely—cleanup, reclassifications, prior-period adjustments, amended returns when needed, and a forward-looking process so you stay clean.
