Doing business in Tampa Bay.

Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater make up one of Florida’s fastest-growing metro areas.

Every summer and fall, hurricane season tests the cash plan.

Florida tax and compliance notes.

Florida has no personal income tax, but corporations pay a state corporate income tax. Sales tax combines a state rate with county surtaxes that vary across the region. Employers pay reemployment tax, Florida’s name for unemployment insurance, and LLCs and corporations file an annual report with the state each spring. General information only, not tax advice. Your CPA handles the filings, and we keep the books ready for them.

Questions from Tampa Bay owners.

Do you work with businesses outside Tampa?

How do county surtaxes affect us?

If you deliver or sell in more than one county, the sales tax rate can change by location. We track it by county so your filings are right.

Can you help us prepare for hurricane season?

Yes. The 13-week forecast shows how long your cash would last through a slow stretch, so you can build a cushion before storm season.
