Accounting for St. Petersburg Businesses
We handle bookkeeping, tax preparation, and accounting for small businesses across St. Petersburg. Monthly financial statements, bank reconciliation, payroll processing, and year-end tax filing. The accounting work that needs to get done whether you have three employees or thirty.
Our office is in Riverview, roughly 30 minutes from downtown St. Pete. We work with clients across Pinellas County on everything from business tax preparation to monthly bookkeeping and payroll. Most St. Pete clients prefer working with us remotely because it keeps things simple, but we’re available to meet in person when that makes more sense.

Who We Work With in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg’s business landscape has changed significantly over the past decade. Downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods have filled with independently owned restaurants, retail shops, creative studios, and professional offices. Central Avenue and Beach Drive are lined with businesses that didn’t exist ten years ago. That growth extends beyond downtown into construction and trades serving residential and commercial projects throughout Pinellas County.
We work with St. Pete business owners doing roughly $200K to $5M in annual revenue. Businesses that have outgrown doing their own books but aren’t large enough to bring on a full-time accountant. Miguel Zavaleta has over 20 years of CPA experience working with owner-operated businesses, and that practical knowledge shows up in how we handle yours.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
St. Pete’s food and drink scene is one of the strongest in the Tampa Bay area. Beach Drive, Central Avenue, the Grand Central District. We provide restaurant and bar bookkeeping that covers high transaction volumes, tip reporting, food cost tracking, and the tight margin management that hospitality businesses depend on.
Construction and Trades
Construction and Trades
General contractors, roofers, HVAC companies, electricians, plumbers, and pool service businesses working throughout Pinellas County. Job costing that shows profitability by project and books that hold up when you’re applying for bonding or financing equipment.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Law firms, consultants, real estate agents, and other professional offices in downtown St. Pete and beyond. We track profitability, manage receivables, and keep books clean so tax season doesn’t turn into a scramble for missing records.
Retail and Creative Businesses
Retail and Creative Businesses
Boutiques, galleries, salons, and creative agencies scattered throughout St. Pete’s neighborhoods. Inventory tracking, sales tax compliance, and monthly financials that tell you what’s actually working and where money is going.
