Bookkeeping and Accounting for Manatee County
We’re a CPA-led firm based in Riverview that provides bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll, and accounting services for small businesses across Manatee County. Bradenton, Palmetto, Lakewood Ranch, Parrish, and everywhere in between. We work with business owners who need professional financial support without hiring someone full-time.
Manatee County has grown fast over the past decade. New neighborhoods, new commercial corridors, and a steady flow of businesses opening to keep up with the population. Many of those businesses reach a point where the owner can’t manage the books on top of everything else. That’s the situation most of our clients were in when they found our Tampa Bay bookkeeping services.

Tax Preparation and Planning

Business and personal tax returns filed by a licensed CPA. Quarterly estimates calculated so there are no surprises in April. Tax planning that looks at your full picture and finds practical ways to reduce what you owe.
Payroll
Payroll
We run payroll, handle tax deposits, file quarterly reports, and issue W-2s and 1099s at year-end. Your employees get paid correctly and on time. You stop worrying about payroll deadlines.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books a few months behind? Longer? We clean up the backlog and get everything current. Most of our clients started there, and it’s never as bad as people expect once a professional gets into it.
Manatee County Businesses We Work With
The county has a broad mix of industries. Contractors building new homes in Parrish and Lakewood Ranch. Medical and dental practices along Manatee Avenue and Cortez Road. Restaurants and shops on Anna Maria Island and in downtown Bradenton. Real estate investors active throughout the market. Each of these businesses has different financial needs, but they all benefit from having a CPA who understands their numbers.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $100K to a few million in revenue. Established enough to need real bookkeeping and tax support but not large enough to bring that work in-house. Miguel has over 20 years of experience working with exactly that kind of business.
Construction and Trades
Construction and Trades
General contractors and specialty trades working across the county. With all the development happening in Lakewood Ranch, Parrish, and east Bradenton, there is no shortage of construction activity. We handle job costing, progress billing, and financial tracking that supports bonding and lending.
Medical and Dental Practices
Medical and Dental Practices
Clinics, dental offices, chiropractic practices, and therapy providers throughout Bradenton and the surrounding area. We manage the timing gap between services provided and insurance payments received, and keep financial reporting clean for practice owners who would rather focus on patients.
Real Estate
Real Estate
Rental property owners, fix-and-flip investors, and real estate agents. Manatee County’s real estate market has been active for years, and every transaction creates bookkeeping and tax work. We track property-level income and expenses and handle the tax implications that come with each deal.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Restaurants and Hospitality
Anna Maria Island, downtown Bradenton, and the corridors along SR 64 and US 41 all have restaurants and hospitality businesses running on thin margins. We track food costs, labor, tips, and daily sales so you can see what’s actually working and what needs to change.
Common Questions
Do you work with businesses throughout Manatee County?
Yes. Bradenton, Palmetto, Lakewood Ranch, Parrish, Ellenton, Anna Maria Island, and the surrounding areas. Our office is in Riverview, right up I-75. Most of our work is handled remotely, so your specific location within the county doesn't matter.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month. Your rate depends on monthly expense volume and complexity. We'll give you an exact number after a short conversation about your business.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. Our Riverview office is a short drive from most of Manatee County. We can also come to you when it makes sense. Most clients prefer working remotely once everything is up and running.
Do you handle tax returns?
Yes. Business and personal tax returns, quarterly estimates, and tax planning. Miguel is a licensed CPA in Florida with over 20 years of experience.
My books are behind. Can you clean them up?
That's one of the most common reasons people reach out. We handle catch-up work to bring your books current, then move into monthly service so they stay that way.
