Bookkeeping and Tax Services for Siesta Key Businesses
Bookkeeping, tax, and payroll for Siesta Key businesses. Serving vacation rental owners, restaurants, and local businesses from our Riverview office.
Bookkeeping and Tax Services for Siesta Key
Siesta Key runs on tourism, vacation rentals, and the restaurants and shops that line the Village and Stickney Point. The businesses here deal with sharp seasonal swings in revenue, guest turnover that creates complex transaction volumes, and local tax obligations that require consistent attention. These aren’t problems you solve with a spreadsheet once a quarter.
We provide small business bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll, and catch-up services for Siesta Key business owners. Our office is in Riverview, about an hour north, but everything runs through secure online tools. You get a CPA-led team managing your books and taxes without the overhead of a Sarasota-priced firm.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and books closed every month. Financial statements delivered on a schedule so you can see where the business stands heading into peak season or through the slower summer months.
Business and Personal Tax Returns
Business and Personal Tax Returns
Federal and state tax return preparation for your business entity and your personal return. Because we maintain the books year-round, the numbers are already organized when filing season arrives. No last-minute scramble to reconstruct the year.
Sales Tax and Tourist Development Tax
Sales Tax and Tourist Development Tax
Florida sales tax and Sarasota County tourist development tax tracked and filed on time. We handle rate calculations, filing deadlines, and the reporting that comes with operating in a tourism-driven tax environment.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Behind on the books? We go back through bank statements, receipts, and platform records to reconstruct what’s missing. Once everything is current, we move into monthly service to keep it that way.
Siesta Key Businesses We Work With
The island is small but the business activity is real. Vacation rentals generating six figures in annual gross revenue. Restaurants managing food cost, tipped employees, and seasonal staffing. Retail shops that do half their sales between January and April. Property service companies cleaning and maintaining dozens of units every week. These businesses all need accurate financials to make good decisions and stay compliant.
We work with owner-operated businesses that have outgrown doing the books themselves but don’t have enough volume to justify a full-time hire. If that sounds familiar, we’re built for exactly that gap.
Vacation Rental Owners
Vacation Rental Owners
Airbnb, VRBO, and direct-booked properties throughout Siesta Key. We track platform payouts, cleaning fees, maintenance costs, mortgage allocations, and tourist development tax by property so you know actual profitability. Rental property accounting that gives your CPA everything they need at year-end.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
Siesta Key Village and the surrounding area have a concentration of restaurants operating on seasonal demand and tight margins. We track food and beverage costs, handle tip reporting and payroll for tipped employees, and deliver monthly financials that show whether the numbers actually work.
Retail and Gift Shops
Retail and Gift Shops
Shops along Ocean Boulevard and Beach Road that see most of their traffic during tourist season. Inventory tracking, sales tax compliance, and monthly reporting that accounts for the seasonal revenue cycle instead of pretending every month looks the same.
Property Services and Cleaning
Property Services and Cleaning
Cleaning crews, maintenance companies, and property managers servicing vacation rentals across the island. Multiple clients, recurring jobs, fluctuating headcount depending on the season. We keep the books organized so you can focus on servicing properties instead of chasing receipts.
Common Questions
You're based in Riverview. How does that work for Siesta Key?
Everything we do happens digitally. Bank feeds, document sharing, and monthly reporting all run through secure online tools. Riverview is about an hour north, so in-person meetings are possible when they make sense, but most clients prefer the convenience of handling things remotely.
Do you work with vacation rental owners?
Yes. We handle the bookkeeping for short-term rental properties including platform income, cleaning and maintenance expenses, tourist development tax tracking, and the financial reporting your CPA needs for Schedule E or entity-level returns.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month depending on transaction volume and complexity. Vacation rental portfolios and restaurants with higher transaction counts will be quoted individually after we review the business.
Can you help with Sarasota County tourist development tax?
Yes. We track and manage the tourist development tax obligations that apply to short-term rentals and lodging businesses in Sarasota County. Filings stay on time and amounts stay accurate.
My books haven't been touched in over a year. Can you still help?
That's a normal starting point for us. We do the catch-up work first to bring everything current, then transition into regular monthly bookkeeping so it doesn't fall behind again.
