Accounting & Tax Services in Florence, KY

Florence is the largest city in Boone County and a major distribution hub in Northern Kentucky, strategically positioned at the I-75/I-71 interchange just minutes from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). Amazon, DHL, and dozens of regional distributors operate massive fulfillment centers and warehouses along the Turfway Road and Houston Road logistics corridors, making Florence one of Kentucky’s most concentrated distribution markets. The Florence Mall area along Mall Road and Dixie Highway hosts a dense retail economy with restaurants, automotive dealerships, and service businesses serving the Northern Kentucky market. Manufacturing operations, including Bosch, General Cable, and numerous automotive parts suppliers, maintain production facilities throughout the industrial parks along U.S. 42. Florence’s position in the Cincinnati tri-state metro creates unique multi-state tax complexity — businesses with employees or customers in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana must track nexus obligations and withholding requirements across three state tax systems. SDO CPA works with Florence business owners across logistics, manufacturing, and retail to manage tri-state tax compliance, optimize warehouse and equipment depreciation, and structure entities under Kentucky’s flat 4.0% income tax. For distribution companies near CVG, we provide monthly bookkeeping that handles multi-state payroll withholding and inventory cost tracking.

Kentucky Tax Planning Tip

Kentucky’s flat 4.0% income tax applies to all pass-through entity income. Louisville businesses also face a 2.2% occupational license tax — this stacks on top of state and federal taxes. S-Corp owners in Louisville metro effectively pay 6.2% in combined state/local income tax, making entity structuring and reasonable compensation analysis critical for minimizing total tax burden.

Florence is home to 1,500+ small businesses and a population of 32,917. From Distribution/Logistics, Manufacturing, Retail to professional services, Florence business owners need CPAs who understand Multi-state tax nexus from operating in the Kentucky-Ohio-Indiana tri-state area with employees across borders and can provide year-round tax planning — not just compliance.
