Fort Myers bookkeeper & QuickBooks accountant.

TechBrot provides Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor bookkeeping for Fort Myers businesses — monthly bookkeeping, cleanup, and QuickBooks management by a named bookkeeper on the same file every month. Florida has no state personal income tax (C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax; pass-throughs are generally exempt) and no franchise/margin tax — so what shapes the books is Fort Myers’s economy and the Florida tax stack. Fort Myers (Lee County) is the hub of fast-growing Southwest Florida: a construction and real-estate development economy in one of the fastest-growing U.S. regions, a large retirement and healthcare sector (medical practices, home health, senior services), Gulf tourism and hospitality (the beaches, Sanibel and Captiva), and hurricane-rebuild and restoration construction in the post-Ian recovery. The distinctive accounting is construction job costing — WIP, retainage, and AIA billing — medical-practice and home-health reconciliation, seasonal hospitality revenue and labor, and multi-entity real-estate development ledgers. The Florida stack: the 6% sales tax plus the Lee County surtax, the tangible personal property (DR-405) return on business equipment (which matters for equipment-heavy contractors), the 5.5% corporate income tax on C-corps, and reemployment tax. We build awareness of all of it into your books, keep them CPA-ready, and coordinate with your CPA, who files. Fixed-fee against a written scope ($400–$2,500+/mo monthly; cleanup $1,500–$15,000+). Delivered remotely on QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop. Independent firm — not affiliated with Intuit Inc.; does not file Florida taxes.

Fort Myers is the hub of fast-growing Southwest Florida — a construction-and-development, retirement-healthcare, and Gulf-tourism economy — and that, on top of Florida’s tax stack, is what shapes its books. Florida has no state personal income tax, though C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax.

The defining work spans construction and real-estate development in one of the fastest-growing U.S. regions (job costing, WIP, retainage, and AIA billing), a large retirement and healthcare sector built on a 55+ population (medical practices, home health, and senior services with payer reconciliation and provider payroll), Gulf tourism and hospitality around the beaches and Sanibel/Captiva (seasonal revenue and labor), and ongoing hurricane-rebuild and restoration construction in the post-Ian recovery.

The Florida tax stack still has to be right: 6% sales tax plus the Lee County surtax, the annual tangible personal property (DR-405) return on business equipment (with a $25,000 exemption) — which matters for equipment-heavy contractors — the 5.5% corporate income tax on C-corps, and reemployment tax. Florida’s sales-tax treatment of real-property improvements is a real area for contractors; we keep it general and defer the specifics to the Florida DOR and your CPA. We put a named bookkeeper on your file who handles job costing, payer reconciliation, and the Florida positions cleanly — with the filings left to your CPA.

The result: books that reflect how a Fort Myers business actually runs — construction jobs costed with WIP and retainage clean, medical and home-health payers reconciled, seasonal hospitality revenue and labor tracked, fixed assets ready for the TPP return, sales tax handled — reconciled monthly and handed to your CPA CPA-ready.

On a multi-project builder or a multi-site practice, the value isn’t categorizing a transaction — it’s knowing each job’s margin is clear with WIP and retainage tracked, your payers reconcile, your fixed assets are ready for the TPP return, and your sales tax is handled. That judgment is what a named Fort Myers bookkeeper brings, and what fractional-CFO advisory extends once the books are clean.
