What we do for Brandon businesses
Eastern Hillsborough County is full of trades, home services, restaurants, medical practices and small retailers. What they have in common is an owner doing the books at the weekend, or a spreadsheet that stopped matching the bank a year ago.
We take that over. The transactions get coded, every account gets reconciled, the month is closed between the 5th and 15th of the following month, depending on when your documents arrive, and the return is prepared and filed from the same books.

The Florida filings on your calendar
Florida has no personal income tax, which is why the state filings that matter here are sales tax and reemployment tax. Businesses selling taxable goods or services collect sales tax at the 6% state rate plus the county surtax, and Hillsborough County has its own surtax on top of the state rate.
Sales tax returns are filed with the Florida Department of Revenue, usually monthly, and employers file quarterly reemployment tax. Florida corporations also file a corporate income tax return, and every entity files an annual report with the Division of Corporations by May 1 to stay active. We keep the books so these filings match, and we prepare and file them.
Books and the tax return from one team
The usual arrangement in Brandon is a local bookkeeper during the year and a separate preparer in the spring. Every handover costs money twice: once for the preparer to re-check the books, and once when something has to be fixed at the deadline.
Best for a Brandon business that wants one team for the books, the payroll and the return: SF Business Solutions, from $250 a month. Our team includes a licensed CPA. We are not a CPA firm, so if a lender asks for an audited statement rather than reports, that is available through our professional CPA partner firms.
Local address, remote service
Our Florida business address is 12103 Citrus Leaf Drive, Gibsonton, FL 33534, a few miles from Brandon. It is a business address, not a walk-in location: our team is distributed across the US and internationally, and we work with businesses across the United States.
That means you get the same service in Brandon, Riverview or Valrico as anywhere else, by video, phone and email. If your books are behind, cleanup starts at $250, and the final price depends on how far behind they are.
