Tax Accountant and Bookkeeping in Hialeah, FL

Hialeah runs on businesses a family owns and works in every day. Cafeterias and bakeries, salons and barbershops in East Hialeah storefronts, contracting crews dispatched out of West Hialeah, and small shops and warehouses in the industrial district. Much of it is conducted in Spanish, and a lot of it was built by owners who learned the trade decades before anyone explained what the IRS expects of them.

A Hialeah engagement usually starts with sorting out what is business and what is personal. One account paid for the van, the groceries, and the payroll, and nobody separated them. We rebuild the year from bank and card statements, set up QuickBooks so it will not happen again, and deal with what surfaced: sales tax that was collected but never remitted, or subcontractors paid all year without a single contractor information return.

Once the books are current, the ongoing work is unglamorous and steady: monthly bookkeeping, payroll and the federal filings that follow it, quarterly for most employers and annual for a few, the Florida sales tax return on your assigned frequency, and the return at the end. Everything happens in Spanish if that is easier, including the parts nobody enjoys, like a letter from the IRS. Being an Enrolled Agent means we can deal with the IRS directly on your behalf rather than handing you a phone number.
