Florida's $1.65 trillion GDP makes it the fourth-largest economy in the nation—larger than all but 15 countries worldwide. The Sunshine State is one of only eight states with no personal income tax, attracting $39.2 billion in net income migration annually as businesses and residents relocate for economic opportunity. With over 3 million small businesses, robust tourism generating 140+ million visitors annually, and the nation's second-highest ranking for access to capital, Florida businesses need CPAs who understand seasonal revenue patterns, multi-state complexity, and the unique opportunities of America's fastest-growing large-state economy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a CPA cost for a business in Florida?

CPA fees vary based on your business complexity, transaction volume, and service needs. At SDO CPA, basic bookkeeping starts around $300–$500 per month for a single entity. Full-service packages that include bookkeeping, tax planning, and advisory typically range from $1,000–$2,000 per month.

Can a Texas-based CPA serve Florida businesses?

Yes. CPAs can prepare tax returns and provide accounting services for clients in any state. We serve Florida businesses virtually with the same quality and responsiveness as local clients.

Do you work with tourism and hospitality businesses?

Yes. Florida's tourism industry has unique accounting needs including seasonal revenue patterns, tip reporting, and occupancy tax compliance. We understand these requirements and provide tailored solutions.

Can you help with Florida sales tax compliance?

Absolutely. Florida's 6% state sales tax (plus local additions) applies to most goods and some services. We help ensure proper collection, reporting, and compliance with Florida's sales tax requirements.

What's the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA?

A bookkeeper records daily transactions and maintains your financial records. A CPA is a licensed professional who can prepare and sign tax returns, provide tax planning advice, represent you before the IRS, and offer strategic financial guidance.

Do you work with healthcare practices in Florida?

Yes. Florida's large healthcare sector—including practices near major medical centers—has specialized accounting needs. We understand medical practice billing, compliance, and tax planning for healthcare providers.
