Bookkeeping & Tax for Highland Park Small Businesses
CPA-led bookkeeping and tax services for Highland Park businesses. Monthly financials, payroll, and tax preparation from our Riverview office.
Bookkeeping and Tax Support for Highland Park
Highland Park is a small community, and small communities don’t always have local options when it comes to professional accounting. Businesses here often end up choosing between a solo bookkeeper without CPA credentials and a larger Tampa firm that treats them like an afterthought. We fit in the middle. Our office is in Riverview, and we work with small businesses throughout Highland Park and the surrounding area.
EMG provides small business bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and financial advisory. Miguel Zavaleta is a CPA with over 20 years of experience working with owner-operated businesses. Whether you need monthly books, annual tax returns, or help cleaning up years of backlog, we handle it at a flat rate that makes sense for a small business budget.

Who We Work With in Highland Park
Central Florida’s economy leans heavily on construction, home services, real estate, and the small businesses that support a growing population. Highland Park and the surrounding communities are no different. The businesses here are typically owner-operated, running lean, and managed by people who would rather be doing the actual work than reconciling bank statements at the end of the month.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. If you’ve reached the point where managing your own books is costing you time, accuracy, or sleep, that’s the gap we fill.
Construction and Trades
Construction and Trades
General contractors, roofers, HVAC, electrical, plumbing. Florida’s building activity means steady work and complicated financials. We track costs by job, manage subcontractor payments, and keep your books ready for bonding and bank reviews.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Landscaping, pool service, pest control, pressure washing. Home service businesses in Florida run year-round, which means year-round bookkeeping needs. We handle the recurring billing, expense tracking, and payroll that keep these operations organized.
Real Estate
Real Estate
Agents, investors, property managers. Whether you’re flipping houses or managing rentals, the financial tracking looks different from a typical service business. We handle entity-level bookkeeping, rental income tracking, and the tax implications of real estate transactions.
Retail and Service Businesses
Retail and Service Businesses
Shops, restaurants, salons, and other businesses serving the local community. Sales tax compliance, tip reporting, inventory tracking. The financial details that fall behind quickly when you’re focused on customers instead of spreadsheets.
Common Questions
Where is your office?
We're on Crescent Park Drive in Riverview. Most of our work happens remotely through secure document sharing and regular communication, but we're nearby when an in-person meeting makes sense.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month depending on your transaction volume and complexity. We provide exact pricing after learning about your business. No hourly billing that creeps up on you.
Can you handle both bookkeeping and taxes?
Yes. We're a CPA firm, so bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation all happen under one roof. Your tax return gets prepared from books we already maintain, which means cleaner filings and fewer surprises.
My books haven't been touched in over a year. Can you help?
That's a normal starting point for us. We do catch-up work first to get everything current, then transition into monthly bookkeeping so it doesn't fall behind again.
Do you work with contractors and trades businesses?
Frequently. Roofing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping, pool services, general contracting. Miguel has years of experience with construction and trades businesses, including job costing, subcontractor tracking, and the financial reporting these businesses need.
