The short version.
TechBrot provides Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor bookkeeping for Miami businesses — monthly bookkeeping, cleanup, and QuickBooks management by a named bookkeeper on the same file every month. Florida has no state personal income tax (though C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax and pass-throughs are generally exempt) and no franchise/margin tax — so what shapes the books is Miami’s economy and the Florida tax stack. Miami is the U.S. gateway to Latin America — international trade and import/export, a major finance, banking, and fintech hub, luxury and foreign-buyer real estate, and South Beach tourism and the PortMiami cruise economy. The distinctive accounting is multi-currency / international trade, finance, and real estate. The Florida stack: the 6% sales tax plus the Miami-Dade surtax (about 7%), the taxability of services (Florida taxes services other states exempt), 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.
Miami bookkeeping, in five questions.
Who provides bookkeeping for Miami businesses?
TechBrot provides Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor bookkeeping for Miami and South Florida businesses — a named bookkeeper per file, delivered remotely on QuickBooks, fluent in international-trade, finance, and real-estate accounting and Florida’s sales-tax and corporate-tax structure.
Does Florida have a state income tax?
No personal income tax. Florida has no state personal income tax, but C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax (S-corps, LLCs, and partnerships are generally exempt). There is also 6% sales tax plus the Miami-Dade surtax (about 7%), the taxability of services, and reemployment tax. We track all of it; the Florida Department of Revenue’s rules and your CPA confirm what’s due.
Do you handle international and multi-currency businesses?
Yes — it’s the defining Miami need. Import/export, trade, and Latin-America-facing businesses run multi-currency transactions, intercompany flows, and foreign vendors and customers. We keep the books so currency, intercompany, and trade costs are clean; the international tax matters (transfer pricing, FBAR, treaties) stay with your CPA, whom we coordinate with.
Did Florida tax commercial rent?
It did — Florida was the only state to tax commercial real-property rent, but that “business rent tax” was repealed effective Oct 1, 2025 (HB 7031) and no longer applies. For Miami’s dense commercial leasing that’s a real saving; if you have open pre-repeal periods, your CPA addresses them. We don’t treat it as a current tax. What does apply: Florida’s tax on many services others exempt.
Which areas do you serve?
All of Miami — Downtown and Brickell (the financial district), Wynwood and the Design District, Coral Gables, Miami Beach, and Doral and the trade corridor — plus the wider South Florida metro, delivered remotely on QuickBooks, so your location doesn’t change the service or the named bookkeeper on your file.
Why Miami books are different.
Miami is an international city — the gateway between the U.S. and Latin America — and that, on top of Florida’s distinctive 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 is international: import/export and trade businesses, Latin-America-facing companies, and a major finance, banking, and fintech sector run multi-currency transactions, intercompany flows, and foreign vendors and customers that a domestic-only bookkeeper mishandles. Real estate — luxury, foreign-buyer, and commercial — is huge, with commission, entity, and trust structures. And tourism (South Beach) and the PortMiami cruise economy add hospitality.
The Florida tax stack is its own thing: 6% sales tax plus the Miami-Dade surtax (about 7%), the taxability of services — Florida taxes many services other states exempt, which catches Miami service businesses off guard — the 5.5% corporate income tax on C-corps, reemployment tax, and an annual tangible personal property return for business equipment. We put a named bookkeeper on your file who handles multi-currency, real estate, and the Florida positions cleanly — with the tax filings left to your CPA.
The result: books that reflect how a Miami business actually runs — multi-currency and intercompany clean, real-estate commissions and entities tracked, sales tax and service taxability handled, the corporate-income-tax position clear for C-corps — reconciled monthly and handed to your CPA CPA-ready.
Miami areas we serve.
Miami’s tax stack, at a glance.
Florida has no state personal income tax — but C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax (S-corps, LLCs, and partnerships are generally exempt), administered by the Florida Department of Revenue. We track the entity’s position; the DOR’s rules and your CPA confirm what’s due.
Miami combined sales & use tax — Florida’s 6% state rate plus the Miami-Dade discretionary surtax (about 7% in the county), administered by the Florida DOR. Tracked and reconciled in QuickBooks for an accurate return.
Florida taxes a range of services other states exempt — commercial cleaning, pest control, security, certain repairs. Miami service businesses that assume they’re exempt under-collect; we flag taxable service lines in QuickBooks. (Note: Florida’s old commercial-rent tax was repealed Oct 2025.)

Complete bookkeeping, Miami-aware.
Monthly bookkeeping
Reconciled accounts, a clean chart of accounts, and monthly statements — with multi-currency handled and Florida sales tax reconciled.
Cleanup & catch-up
International and real-estate books carry detail most files miss. We get the file CPA-ready, then keep it clean.
QuickBooks management
Setup, cleanup, and ongoing management in QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop — with multi-currency, intercompany, and real-estate structure where needed.
Sales-tax-ready books
Books structured so your CPA can file Florida sales tax (including on taxable services) accurately, with the corporate-income-tax position clear for C-corps.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
In an international, multi-currency business, the value isn’t categorizing a transaction — it’s knowing your currency and intercompany flows are clean, your real-estate entities tie out, your Florida sales tax and service taxability are handled, and your C-corp income-tax position is clear. That judgment is what a named Miami bookkeeper brings, and what fractional-CFO advisory extends once the books are clean.
