Bookkeeping for St. Pete Beach Small Businesses
Bookkeeping, tax, and CPA services for St. Pete Beach businesses. Monthly books, sales tax, payroll, and tax returns handled by a local Tampa Bay CPA firm.
Accounting Services for St. Pete Beach
St. Pete Beach runs on small businesses that serve millions of visitors a year. Hotels, restaurants, shops, tour operators, vacation rental owners. Behind all of it is financial work that needs to get done. We provide bookkeeping, payroll, and CPA services for St. Pete Beach businesses that need professional accounting support without hiring a full-time accountant.
Our office is in Riverview, across the bay. We handle small business bookkeeping and tax work for clients throughout Tampa Bay, and St. Pete Beach businesses fit naturally into what we do. Most of our work happens remotely, so being on a barrier island doesn’t slow anything down.
Full-Service Bookkeeping
Full-Service Bookkeeping
Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, monthly close, and financial statements. Your books stay current every month so you can focus on running the business instead of sorting through receipts on your day off.
Sales Tax and Tourist Development Tax
Sales Tax and Tourist Development Tax
Florida sales tax is already complicated. Add the Pinellas County tourist development tax that applies to lodging and short-term rentals, and it becomes easy to file late or file wrong. We handle sales tax management from calculation to filing so you stay compliant without tracking it yourself.
Business and Personal Tax Returns
Business and Personal Tax Returns
We prepare federal and state tax returns for business owners and their companies. Because we do the bookkeeping too, your return is built on records we’ve already organized and reviewed. No scramble in March to figure out where the numbers are.
Payroll
Payroll
Paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s, and 1099s for your contractors. Whether you have three employees year-round or scale up to twenty during peak season, we handle payroll so your team gets paid correctly and on time.
St. Pete Beach Businesses We Work With
The island is only a few miles long, but there is a lot packed into it. Gulf Boulevard is lined with hotels, restaurants, and shops. Side streets have vacation rentals, small service companies, and the occasional professional office. Nearly every business here deals with some version of the same challenge. Revenue shifts with tourist seasons while many of the expenses stay the same month to month.
We work with business owners who got into their line of work because they’re good at it, not because they wanted to do accounting. Whether you’re managing a restaurant kitchen, turning over rental units, or keeping properties maintained, we take the financial side off your plate so the books don’t fall behind.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
St. Pete Beach has no shortage of places to eat and drink, and every one of them runs on thin margins. We handle restaurant bookkeeping including daily sales reconciliation, tip reporting, food cost tracking, and the high transaction volume that comes with a busy dining room. You see what’s actually profitable and what isn’t.
Vacation Rentals and Lodging
Vacation Rentals and Lodging
Short-term rentals are a big part of the island’s economy. Tracking nightly revenue across platforms, managing cleaning and maintenance costs, handling tourist development tax, and keeping records organized for tax time. We work with property owners who need clean books across one unit or several.
Retail and Tourism Businesses
Retail and Tourism Businesses
Gift shops, surf shops, tour operators, and the other businesses that depend on visitor traffic. Sales tax compliance, inventory tracking, and seasonal cash flow management. We keep the financial picture clear even when revenue swings from one month to the next.
Service and Maintenance
Service and Maintenance
Cleaning crews, pool service companies, property maintenance, and landscapers that keep the island’s hotels and rental properties looking good. These businesses are often owner-operated with a small crew, and the books tend to fall behind when work picks up. We keep them current so you’re not guessing at your numbers.

Do you handle tourist development tax?
Yes. We manage Florida sales tax along with the Pinellas County tourist development tax that applies to short-term rentals and lodging on St. Pete Beach. We track what's owed and file on time.
Can you help if my books are months behind?
That's how many clients come to us. We clean up the backlog, get everything current, and then move to regular monthly service so it stays that way.
Do you prepare tax returns too?
Yes. We're a CPA firm, so we handle bookkeeping and tax preparation. Having one firm do both means your tax return is built on books we already know and trust.
