Bookkeeping and Tax Services for Treasure Island Businesses
Bookkeeping, tax returns, and payroll for Treasure Island businesses. Vacation rentals, restaurants, and beach town businesses served from our Riverview office.
Bookkeeping and Tax for Treasure Island
Treasure Island is a three-mile stretch of barrier island with a surprising amount of business activity. Vacation rental owners managing properties on Gulf Boulevard. Restaurants and bars feeding tourists and locals. Retail shops, service providers, and small hospitality operations that keep the island running year-round. All of them need accurate books and someone who understands how a seasonal beach economy actually works.
We handle bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll, and sales tax management for Treasure Island businesses from our office in Riverview. Miguel Zavaleta is a CPA with over 20 years of experience working with small businesses and the financial challenges that come with running one. Everything is handled remotely, which works well for island businesses where the owner is already juggling too many things to schedule in-person meetings across the bay.

Treasure Island Businesses We Work With
Most business owners on the island didn’t start their company because they love accounting. They wanted to run a beachside restaurant, manage rental properties, or build a service business in a place they love living. The bookkeeping got pushed aside because there was always something more pressing. That’s where we come in. We provide small business bookkeeping and CPA services so owners can stop losing sleep over the financial side of things.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50k to several million in annual revenue. The common thread is that they need professional bookkeeping and tax support but don’t have enough volume to justify hiring someone full-time.
Vacation Rental Owners
Vacation Rental Owners
Real estate investors with short-term rental properties on Treasure Island need bookkeeping that tracks income and expenses by property, handles tourist tax obligations, and keeps records ready for tax season. We set that up and maintain it monthly.
Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes
Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes
The island’s dining scene depends on tight margins and seasonal traffic. We track food cost, labor, daily sales, and tip reporting so you know where the money is going and whether the busy months are carrying the slow ones.
Retail and Beach Shops
Retail and Beach Shops
Gift shops, surf shops, boutiques, and convenience stores along the main corridors. Inventory tracking, sales tax compliance, and monthly financials that show which months actually make money and which ones you’re riding out.
Service Businesses
Service Businesses
Property management companies, cleaning services, maintenance providers, and other businesses that keep the island’s homes and commercial properties in shape. We handle the books so you can focus on serving your clients instead of categorizing transactions at night.
