Bookkeeping services in Jacksonville Beach & the Beaches

Seasonality. Beaches restaurants, shops, and rental operators can see revenue double between January and July, and the books need to show that clearly so you can plan hiring, inventory, and cash reserves. We build month-over-month and same-month-last-year comparisons into your standard reports so you're comparing July to July, not July to March.

Short-term rental owners have an added layer: Florida sales tax plus Duval County tourist development tax on rentals under six months, platform payouts from Airbnb and VRBO that net out fees, and cleaning and management costs that need to be tracked per property. We set each property up as a class so you see profitability per unit.

We track the liability in your books and reconcile it to your filings. Many platforms collect and remit state sales tax on your behalf but not county tourist development tax, and that gap is a common audit finding. We'll make sure you know exactly what's being remitted for you and what you owe directly.
