Sarasota County Businesses We Work With
Sarasota County has changed quickly over the past decade. North Port and Wellen Park are among the fastest-growing communities in the country. New construction, new businesses, and a population that keeps expanding. That growth has created opportunities for business owners, but it has also made the financial side of running a company more demanding than it used to be.
We work with established businesses typically doing $50K to several million in annual revenue. Companies that have outgrown doing their own books but aren’t large enough to bring on a full-time accountant. That’s exactly the gap our firm was built to fill.
Construction and Trades
Construction and Trades
General contractors, roofers, HVAC, electricians, plumbers, and remodelers working across the county. We provide contractor accounting that tracks labor, materials, and subcontractor costs by project so you know which jobs are actually profitable and can bid future work with confidence.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Landscaping, pool service, pest control, pressure washing. Sarasota County homes need year-round maintenance, and the businesses providing those services need books that keep up with the volume of recurring work and seasonal shifts in demand.
Medical and Dental Practices
Medical and Dental Practices
The county’s growing and aging population supports a large number of independent practices. We handle the timing differences between services rendered and insurance reimbursement, along with the reporting and compliance requirements that healthcare businesses face.
Real Estate and Hospitality
Real Estate and Hospitality
Agents, investors, rental property owners, restaurants along St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota. Each has different accounting needs depending on revenue structure and seasonality. We tailor the work to match how your business actually operates.
Common Questions
Do you serve businesses throughout Sarasota County?
Yes. Sarasota, Venice, North Port, Osprey, Nokomis, Englewood, and everywhere else in the county. We work remotely so your specific location doesn't limit service.
You're based in Riverview. Why would a Sarasota County business hire you?
We're about an hour north on I-75 and everything we do happens digitally. Miguel Zavaleta is a Florida-licensed CPA with over 20 years of experience, and we're familiar with the industries driving growth in your area. Physical distance doesn't affect the quality or speed of the work.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month. Your actual price depends on transaction volume and complexity. We'll give you an exact quote after a short conversation about your business.
Can you handle both my business and personal tax returns?
Yes. We prepare business and personal returns. When we do your bookkeeping throughout the year, tax preparation is straightforward because the records are already clean and organized.
My books are over a year behind. Can you fix that?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common starting points for new clients. We reconstruct what's missing, get you current, and then move into regular monthly service so it doesn't happen again.
