Tax Accountant and Bookkeeping in Kendall, FL

Kendall is mostly where people live, which shapes what the businesses look like. A lot of them run out of a house in West Kendall or a truck parked in the driveway: contractors and trade crews, stylists renting a chair, IT and marketing consultants, agents and reps paid on commission. The common thread is that nobody is withholding tax for them, so the tax year is something they have to manage themselves.

Most people find us after a surprise. The first year of self-employment ended with a balance due nobody planned for, or a CP2000 notice arrived because a contractor information return the client never saw was reported to the IRS. We start by reconstructing the actual income and the deductions that were never tracked, mileage, tools, and a home office where the space genuinely qualifies, then rebuild the estimated payment schedule so the next year is not a repeat.

After that the work is quarterly, not annual. We keep the books light enough that a one-person business will actually maintain them, check in before each estimate so the number is based on the real year instead of last year’s, and revisit whether an S-corp election has started to make sense as income grows. Much of it happens by phone and email in whichever language the household prefers.
