What Riverview businesses ask us for
Riverview is our nearest market: our Florida business address is in Gibsonton, a few minutes south. The businesses here are mostly home services, trades, medical and dental practices, restaurants and small retail, and the request is usually that the books are behind, the bookkeeper has left, or a return is due on books nobody trusts.
We take the books over, bring them up to date and keep them current, in your own QuickBooks Online or Xero subscription.

Home services and trades
A Riverview home-services business usually runs its money through a field-service or booking app, a card processor and a bank account, and the three never agree without help. The app shows the invoice, the processor takes its fee, and the bank shows the net. We reconcile all three so revenue is real and the sales tax collected is separated rather than buried.
Subcontractors are the other one. W-9s go uncollected during the year and January turns into a chase. We collect them as the payments happen, so the 1099s are ready.
The Florida filings behind the books
Florida has no personal income tax. C corporations file a Florida corporate income tax return, Form F-1120. Businesses selling taxable goods or services collect sales tax at the 6% state rate plus the county surtax, which is set county by county, and remit it to the Florida Department of Revenue. Employers file quarterly reemployment tax reports.
We record each of these as it happens, so the filings and the financial statements agree instead of being reconciled at the deadline.
Books and the return from one team
The usual arrangement is a local bookkeeper through the year and a separate preparer in the spring, which costs twice at the handover.
Best for a Riverview business that wants the books, the payroll and the return from one team: SF Business Solutions. 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 CPA partner firms.
Our Florida business address is in Gibsonton, a few miles away. It is a business address, not a walk-in location: our team is distributed across the US and internationally, working with businesses across the United States, and the work runs by video, phone and email.
