The short version.

Florida has no personal income tax, but C-corps pay a 5.5% corporate tax computed from your books — so clean bookkeeping is what lets your CPA file accurately. In your own QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop file across all 67 counties, fixed-fee against a written scope ($400–$2,500+/mo).
Florida bookkeeping services, in five questions.
What do Florida bookkeeping services include?
Reconciliation, clean categorization, 6%+surtax sales tax recorded by county, service taxability handled, tangible personal property records, and CPA-ready monthly statements — in your own QuickBooks file, by a named ProAdvisor, every month.
Why does Florida bookkeeping need to be Florida-specific?
Because the 6% + county surtax must be recorded correctly by location for the return to tie, the taxability of services Florida applies that other states exempt is a line generic bookkeepers miss, the 5.5% corporate tax (for C-corps) is computed from your books, and the annual tangible personal property return needs a maintained fixed-asset schedule.
Do you work in my own QuickBooks file?
Yes — your file, your data, in QuickBooks Online or hosted Desktop, with a named ProAdvisor on the same file every month.
What does it cost?
Fixed-fee against a written scope, never hourly: monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/mo; one-time cleanup $1,500–$15,000+. Exact fee in writing within 3 business days.
Do you file Florida taxes?
No — TechBrot keeps the books CPA-ready and coordinates with your CPA, who files.
Clean books, every month, by one named expert.
Scoped to your business and delivered in your own QuickBooks file by the same QuickBooks ProAdvisor every month.
Reconciliation & categorization
Every account reconciled and every transaction categorized to a clean, Florida-correct chart of accounts each month.
Monthly bookkeeping →Sales tax recorded right, by county
6% + county surtax recorded by location so the Department of Revenue return ties — no manual cleanup at filing time.
Sales tax help →Sales tax on services
Florida taxes many services other states exempt — we flag taxable service lines so they’re rated correctly, the line a generic bookkeeper misses.
Sales tax help →TPP fixed-asset schedule
Equipment and furniture tracked so the annual tangible personal property return (DR-405) is straightforward.
QuickBooks cleanup →CPA-ready statements
P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow delivered monthly in a format your CPA can file from directly.
Financial statements →Advisory, when ready
Once the books are clean, fractional-CFO advisory on the global team — forecasting and cash-flow.
Fractional CFO →Three Florida facts good bookkeeping never misses.
Bookkeeping in Florida isn’t generic — these three obligations decide how transactions, leases, and assets are recorded.
Sales tax baked into the books, by county
Florida sales & use tax is 6% plus a discretionary county surtax that varies by county, via the Florida Department of Revenue. Bookkeeping that records the right combined rate by location is the difference between a return that ties and one that doesn’t.
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.
Tangible personal property ready to file
Florida businesses file an annual tangible personal property return (DR-405) with the county property appraiser. A maintained fixed-asset schedule makes it straightforward; valuation stays with your CPA.

Four steps from messy to handled.
Free file review
A QuickBooks ProAdvisor reviews your QuickBooks file and Florida situation at no cost.
Written fixed-fee scope
Within 3 business days you get a written scope and fixed fee. No hourly billing.
Cleanup, if needed
If the file has fallen behind or mis-taxed services, we bring it to a CPA-ready standard first.
Monthly cadence
A named ProAdvisor keeps the file reconciled and current every month.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
Bookkeeping is where Florida tax compliance is won or lost: the 6%+surtax sales tax has to be recorded by county as transactions happen, the taxability of services is a line generic bookkeepers skip, the corporate tax is only as accurate as the books behind it, and the TPP return depends on a fixed-asset schedule nobody kept. Clean bookkeeping makes all four a non-event.
Start with accurate books, then extend — when you’re ready — into fractional-CFO advisory, in coordination with your CPA.
