Bookkeeping and Florida sales tax
If your business collects Florida sales tax, your books have to track it separately, and the return to the Department of Revenue is due on your assigned schedule whether or not the books are current. Keeping bookkeeping monthly is the simplest way to make sure the sales tax return and your actual sales agree.
Common questions
Do you work in QuickBooks?
Yes. QuickBooks Online and Xero are both supported, and existing files can be cleaned up rather than started over.
How far behind can my books be?
Any amount. Catch-up work starts with the oldest open period and moves forward.
How often will I get reports?
Monthly, once the accounts are reconciled.
Can bookkeeping and taxes be done by the same team?
Yes, which means no handoff problems at year end.
