A small business accountant built around Florida’s tax rules.
Monthly bookkeeping, QuickBooks, payroll coordination, and 6%+surtax sales tax for Florida small businesses — your TechBrot team on your file, fixed-fee, all 67 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: each tangible personal property return can exempt up to $25,000 of assessed value, and once an initial return claims it, no yearly return is needed while listed value stays within it; the QuickBooks fixed-asset register shows which side you are on. Source: s. 196.183, Florida Statutes.
For a Florida small business, TechBrot keeps the QuickBooks file reconciled and CPA-ready every month, for a fixed fee of $500–$2,500+/mo. Florida has no personal income tax, but the books still carry 6% sales tax plus county surtax, a C-corporation’s 5.5% corporate tax and the fixed-asset register behind the $25,000 TPP exemption; 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 every small business’s books must reflect.
No personal income tax doesn’t mean no obligations — these three shape your chart of accounts, sales tax, and leases.
No personal income tax — but a 5.5% corporate tax
Florida has no state personal income tax, but small businesses organized as C-corporations pay a 5.5% corporate income tax to the Florida Department of Revenue. Pass-throughs generally don’t — entity type decides. We track the position; your CPA confirms.Sales tax — 6% state + county surtax
Florida sales & use tax is 6% plus a discretionary county surtax that varies by county, via the Florida Department of Revenue. 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.The whole back office, one dedicated team.

Monthly cadence
Your senior bookkeeper keeps the file clean every month and hands CPA-ready statements to your CPA.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
Most Florida small businesses don’t need a full-time accountant — they need clean books, the sales tax and (where it applies) the corporate tax tracked correctly, the taxability of services and TPP handled, and a named expert who knows their file. That’s exactly the gap a fixed-fee QuickBooks ProAdvisor fills.
Start with accurate books, then extend — when you’re ready — into fractional-CFO advisory, in coordination with your CPA.

Florida small business accountant questions.
What does a Florida small business accountant do?
Keeps your books in your own QuickBooks file to a Florida standard — categorization and reconciliation, a clean chart of accounts, 6%+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 statements every month.
What Florida taxes does a small business owe?
Florida has no personal income tax, but small businesses may face the 5.5% corporate income tax (if organized as a C-corp), 6% sales tax plus a discretionary county surtax, the tax on many services other states exempt, an annual tangible personal property return, and reemployment (unemployment) tax.
Do you work in my existing QuickBooks file?
Yes — your file, your data, in QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop, 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, 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. Your county changes the surtax rate, never the service or the ProAdvisor.
How much does it cost?
Fixed-fee against a written scope, never hourly. Monthly bookkeeping runs $500–$2,500+/mo by volume and accounts; one-time bookkeeping cleanup runs $1,200–$15,000+. Exact fee in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call and the file information needed to quote.
Are you a CPA firm?
No — we’re a bookkeeping and advisory firm. TechBrot handles QuickBooks and bookkeeping; your Florida CPA handles filing and representation. You can use both; with your authorization, we coordinate records with your CPA.
