Accounting & Tax Services in Florida
Florida’s $1.4 trillion GDP makes it the 4th largest state economy in the nation, and it would rank as the 15th largest economy in the world if it were an independent country. Over 3.2 million small businesses operate across the state, spanning tourism, real estate, healthcare, professional services, and a growing technology sector.
The state’s zero personal income tax draws business owners relocating from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Illinois, but many fail to properly sever tax residency in their former states, creating costly dual-filing obligations that can persist for years. Florida’s 6% state sales tax, plus up to 2% county surtax, creates complex multi-jurisdiction collection requirements for businesses selling goods and services across Florida’s 67 counties.
South Florida’s Brickell Financial District, Orlando’s tech corridor along I-4, and Tampa Bay’s growing startup scene represent distinct business ecosystems with different accounting needs. SDO CPA serves Florida businesses virtually, specializing in S-Corp structuring for pass-through tax advantages, multi-state compliance for recent relocations, and proactive tax planning that maximizes Florida’s income tax-free environment.
Florida Tax Planning Tip
Florida has no personal income tax, making it ideal for S-Corp and partnership owners whose business income passes through to their personal return. However, C-Corps pay Florida’s 5.5% corporate income tax on income above $50,000. If you’re considering entity restructuring, compare the total tax impact of S-Corp election versus C-Corp status — for most Florida business owners earning $150K+, the S-Corp structure saves $8,000-$25,000 annually in self-employment taxes alone.
