Your Florida QuickBooks bookkeeper — ProAdvisor expertise, Florida rules.
Bookkeeping, QuickBooks setup and cleanup, payroll coordination, and 6%+surtax sales tax — delivered by your TechBrot team, with every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, in your own QuickBooks Online or Desktop file. Fixed-fee, written scope, all 67 Florida counties. We keep the books and track the 5.5% corporate tax, service taxability, and tangible personal property; your CPA files.
If your file needs our paid diagnostic first, its fee is credited in full against the cleanup. Either way, you get a fixed fee in writing before any work starts.
Florida rule: a corporation pays Florida corporate income tax of 5.5% of its net income for the taxable year; QuickBooks keeps a C-corporation’s revenue and expenses mapped to the return lines your CPA files from. Source: s. 220.11, Florida Statutes.
Florida QuickBooks bookkeeping from TechBrot manages your file every month for a fixed fee of $500–$2,500+/mo: reconciliation, a clean chart of accounts and sales tax at 6% plus county surtax. Florida has no personal income tax, but a C-corporation’s 5.5% corporate tax and the tangible personal property return are tracked in the books; your CPA files.
They took something that felt overwhelming to me as a first-year business owner and made it simple.
What stood out the most was TechBrot Inc’s attention to detail.
Three Florida facts that change how your books are kept.
No personal income tax doesn’t mean no obligations — these three shape how the chart of accounts, sales tax, and leases are set up from day one.
No personal income tax — but a 5.5% corporate tax
Florida has no state personal income tax, but C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax to the Florida Department of Revenue. Pass-throughs (S-corps, most LLCs, partnerships) generally don’t — your entity type decides. We track the position; your CPA confirms and files.Sales tax — 6% state + county surtax
Florida sales & use tax is 6% at the state level plus a discretionary county surtax that varies by county, via the Florida Department of Revenue, not the IRS. We configure it by location in QuickBooks so the return ties.Florida taxes some services
Unlike most states, Florida taxes a range of services — commercial cleaning, pest control, certain repairs, security, commercial laundry. Owners who assume services are exempt routinely under-collect, so we flag taxable vs. exempt service lines in QuickBooks and apply the right rate.Everything your books need, handled by one team.
Every engagement is scoped to your business and delivered in your own QuickBooks file by your TechBrot team — the same team, every month.

A QuickBooks ProAdvisor reviews your QuickBooks file and your Florida situation — sales-tax footprint, entity type, commercial leases, where the books stand — at no cost. - Step 2
Written fixed-fee scope
Within 3 business days you get a written scope and fixed fee: cleanup, monthly bookkeeping, or both. No hourly billing. - Step 3
Cleanup to CPA-ready
If the file needs it, we bring it to a CPA-ready standard — sales tax corrected by county, accounts reconciled, TPP organized. - Step 4
Monthly cadence
Your senior bookkeeper keeps the file clean every month and hands CPA-ready statements to your CPA, who files.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
Florida’s no-personal-income-tax reputation hides real obligations — the 5.5% corporate tax for C-corps, 6%+surtax sales tax, the taxability of services, and the annual tangible personal property return — and the value of a Florida QuickBooks accountant is keeping all of them right so your CPA can file cleanly and you can plan.
That’s why every TechBrot engagement is built on accurate books first, then extends — when you’re ready — into fractional-CFO advisory, in coordination with your CPA.

Florida QuickBooks accountant questions.
What does a Florida QuickBooks accountant do?
A QuickBooks ProAdvisor keeps your books in your own QuickBooks file to a Florida standard — categorization and reconciliation, a clean chart of accounts, 6% + county surtax sales tax configured and reconciled, the 5.5% corporate-tax position tracked where it applies, service taxability watched, tangible personal property ready to file, payroll coordination, and CPA-ready monthly statements.
Does Florida really have no income tax?
No personal income tax — that part of the reputation is true. But it doesn’t mean no state obligations: C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax to the Florida Department of Revenue, there’s 6% sales tax plus a discretionary county surtax, a tax on many services others exempt, an annual tangible personal property return, and reemployment (unemployment) tax.
Do you work in my existing QuickBooks file or your own software?
Your file, your data. We work directly in your QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop file rather than locking you into proprietary tooling, with a senior bookkeeper assigned to your file, and every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor before it reaches you. If you need a new file set up or a migration from Desktop or another platform, we handle that too.
Do you serve my city or county?
All 67 Florida counties — Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, and everywhere between — delivered remotely on QuickBooks, so your location changes the county surtax rate but never the service or the ProAdvisor on your file. Dedicated city pages exist for our largest metros.
How much does a Florida QuickBooks accountant cost?
Fixed-fee against a written scope, never hourly. Monthly bookkeeping runs $500–$2,500+/mo depending on transaction volume and accounts; one-time bookkeeping cleanup runs $1,200–$15,000+. You get the exact fee in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call and the file information needed to quote.
Do you file my Florida sales or corporate tax?
No. TechBrot is a bookkeeping and advisory firm — we keep the books CPA-ready and coordinate with your CPA or EA, who files the sales tax, the 5.5% corporate income tax, the taxability of services, and the tangible personal property return.
Can you clean up a messy Florida QuickBooks file?
Yes — it’s a common Florida engagement, especially when sales tax was set to one rate instead of by county surtax, or taxability of services and TPP were never tracked. We scope a one-time cleanup to a CPA-ready standard, then move into monthly bookkeeping so the file stays clean.
Are you a CPA firm?
No — we’re a bookkeeping and advisory firm. The standard model is that TechBrot handles QuickBooks operations and bookkeeping while your Florida CPA handles tax filing and representation before the Department of Revenue. You can use both; with your authorization, we coordinate records with your CPA.
