How it works
Bookkeeping work from Florida
Contractors keep small business books current each month: categorizing, reconciling accounts and producing reports in QuickBooks Online, Xero or the client's own software. We are a young firm and take a limited number of contractors, so we do not promise a volume of work. We do not have an office in Florida, and the work is done online. The larger cities in Florida that our pages cover include Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa.
If you live near Jacksonville or elsewhere in Florida, you can work from home; tourism, hospitality, agriculture, real estate and transportation are among the sectors in the state.

Florida work
What Florida clients' books involve
The Florida Department of Revenue lists a 6% general state sales tax rate. Returns are filed for every reporting period, even when no tax is due, and are late after the 20th of the month following the period. We confirm your own filing frequency on your Department of Revenue account.
Contractors working Florida clients tend to see:
- The LLC annual report to the Division of Corporations, due May 1 (the fee is $138.75, and $538.75 if received after May 1)
- Records for county discretionary surtax that depends on where you sell
- Reemployment tax and withholding reports for employees
- Sales and use tax returns on your assigned frequency, prepared for you to file
Many Florida owners run seasonal or tourism-driven businesses. We keep monthly books so a slow month or a busy one shows up clearly at filing time.
Official sources: Florida Department of Revenue and Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz). Rates and deadlines change, so confirm with the agency. We do not give tax or legal advice.

Florida details
What to know about Florida work
The state tax agency is Florida Department of Revenue. You do not need to be an expert in its rules, but you should be comfortable reading its notices and knowing which filings belong to the client and which to their tax professional.
We do not hire for a location. A Florida bookkeeper works from home, in the client's own file, on a monthly schedule.
What it pays
Pay and terms
Pay is set one on one: a short call, then a written rate before any client work begins. Nothing is posted publicly. The arrangement is independent contractor work, you pick what to take, and a 1099 comes at year end.
This is general information, not legal advice. We are young and keep the team small on purpose, which means early contractors get first call as work grows.
