Florida QuickBooks accountant, in five questions.
What is a Florida QuickBooks accountant?
A Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor who keeps your books in your own QuickBooks file to a Florida standard — categorization, reconciliation, a clean chart of accounts, 6%+surtax sales tax, the 5.5% corporate-tax position where it applies, the taxability of services, tangible personal property ready to file, and CPA-ready statements every month. We do the books; your CPA files.
Does Florida have a state income tax?
No personal income tax. But C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax to the Florida Department of Revenue (pass-throughs generally don’t), there’s 6% sales tax plus a discretionary county surtax, the tax on services Florida applies that others exempt, an annual tangible personal property return, and reemployment tax. We track all of it; the Department’s rules and your CPA confirm what’s due.
Do you work in my own QuickBooks file?
Yes — your file, your data. We work in your QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop file (no proprietary lock-in), with a named ProAdvisor on the same file every month. We can also set up or migrate the file if you need it.
What does it cost?
Fixed-fee against a written scope, never hourly: monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/mo by volume and accounts; one-time cleanup $1,500–$15,000+. You get the exact fee in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call.
Do you file Florida taxes?
No. TechBrot is an independent Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor firm — we keep the books CPA-ready and coordinate with your CPA or EA, who files the corporate income tax, sales tax, service taxability, and tangible personal property return. We are not affiliated with Intuit Inc.
Everything your books need, handled by one expert.
Every engagement is scoped to your business and delivered in your own QuickBooks file by a named Certified ProAdvisor — the same one, every month.
Monthly bookkeeping & close
Reconciled accounts, clean categorization, and CPA-ready statements every month — with 6%+surtax sales tax and the corporate-tax position tracked.
Monthly bookkeeping →QuickBooks setup & cleanup
A Florida-correct chart of accounts, sales-tax items configured by county, and a cleanup to a CPA-ready standard when the file has fallen behind.
QuickBooks cleanup →Sales tax, configured right
QuickBooks set to the correct 6% + county surtax rate by location and reconciled so the Department of Revenue return ties.
Sales tax help →Corporate tax tracked
The 5.5% corporate-tax position (where it applies) and service taxability handled in the books so your CPA can file accurately.
Corporate tax help →Payroll coordination
Florida payroll configured and coordinated with your provider — no state income-tax withholding, but federal and reemployment tax handled cleanly.
Payroll →CFO-level advisory, when ready
Once the books are clean, fractional-CFO advisory — forecasting, board reporting — on the global advisory team.
Fractional CFO →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 services others exempt
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.
What we do — and what we don’t.

Four steps from messy to handled.
Free file review
A Certified ProAdvisor reviews your QuickBooks file and your Florida situation — sales-tax footprint, entity type, commercial leases, where the books stand — at no cost.
Written fixed-fee scope
Within 3 business days you get a written scope and fixed fee: cleanup, monthly bookkeeping, or both. No hourly billing.
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.
Monthly cadence
A named ProAdvisor 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.
