Hire the Best Financial Accountants in Florida

I help small and mid-sized businesses in the $5M to $250M revenue range get clean, investor-grade books and a month-end close that actually closes on time, without hiring a full-time finance team. That range is where I've spent my career. I'm a US-based CPA (active, Delaware), IRS-registered tax preparer (PTIN), MBA, and PMP with 23+ years running US corporate accounting and finance as a Corporate Controller and CFO. Companies at SMB size are big enough to have real complexity (multi-entity, inventory, revenue recognition, audits, lenders, investors) but rarely big enough to carry a full finance department. That gap is exactly what I fill. You work directly with me. No account managers, no handoff to a junior, no agency markup. What I do for clients: - Bookkeeping and monthly close: QuickBooks Online and Xero cleanup and categorization, reconciliations, accruals, and a close that lands on schedule. - Controller and Fractional CFO: financial reporting, board packs, cash-flow and runway visibility, KPI dashboards, and internal controls. - Startup and SaaS accounting: investor-grade books, ASC 606 revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and runway/burn reporting. - E-commerce and inventory: Amazon and Shopify multi-channel, COGS and inventory accounting, and margin reporting. - ERP systems and integrations: QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Acumatica. Setup, cleanup, custom reports, and the integrations that connect them (Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, BILL, Ramp, HubSpot, 2AX, Cin7) using native APIs. Credentials: certified in QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Intuit Enterprise Suite, Payroll, advanced data analytics tools, and Xero (associate and professional). Hands-on implementation and migration experience in NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Deltek Costpoint, plus 38 completed Acumatica Open University courses covering financials, project accounting, construction, distribution, the REST API, and customization. Standards I work to: US GAAP, ASC 606, ASC 842, plus FAR, CAS, and DCAA for government-contractor clients. The edge on systems work: most integrations get built by someone who knows the tool but not the accounting, so the data syncs and the numbers are still wrong. I'm the accountant who also builds the pipeline, so it ties. I also run a bookkeeping workflow powered by advanced data analytics tools on top of the QuickBooks file you already have, with no migration and a two-way sync, so you get always-on accuracy, AR/AP follow-up, accurate accruals, and a morning financial briefing, while you stay in full control. A simple way to start: message me and I'll set up a free 30-minute call, map your current accounting workflow, flag the quick wins, and give you a clear start-here plan, no obligation For e-commerce and inventory-based businesses I work across the full stack: A2X and Cin7, plus Dext, Ramp, Gusto, and Bill for AP and spend, and Shopify and Amazon payout reconciliation, so sales, fees, refunds, and COGS actually tie to the ledger.

I’m an active licensed CPA who helps business owners, attorneys, and growing companies clean up their books, prepare reliable financial statements, and make sense of messy financial records. My background includes forensic accounting, bookkeeping cleanup, financial reporting, reconciliations, month-end close, due diligence, Compilations, Reviews and litigation support. I’m especially helpful when the records are incomplete, disorganized, or need a careful second look. I can help with catch-up bookkeeping, bank and credit card reconciliations, Shopify/Stripe/PayPal/Wise activity, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet preparation, general ledger cleanup, tax-ready books, fixed asset schedules, and transaction review. What makes my work different is that I do not just categorize transactions and move on. I look for unsupported balances, duplicate payments, unusual activity, missing documentation, and items that could create problems later. I work with QuickBooks Online, Excel, Google Sheets, Shopify reports, bank exports, and reconciliation workbooks. If you need someone reliable, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with, I’d be happy to help get your accounting cleaned up and organized.

I’m not your typical accountant. I’m your business’s new secret weapon. Think of me as a financial co-pilot. Someone who helps you simplify the chaos, avoid surprises, and actually understand what your numbers are telling you. I bring the tools, systems, and strategy so you can focus on what you do best: running your business. And this isn’t just empty talk, I back it up with custom tools and solutions I’ve created for business owners across the U.S. 👉 Check out the BizTax Playbook Tools in my portfolio. One highlight? The Business Tax Budgeter, the first tool of its kind designed to help business owners plan their tax budgets as easily as W-2 employees do. Think of me as part tax strategist, part business advisor, and part problem-solver. Someone who knows the numbers, but also knows how to use them to drive real results for your business.

Are your financial records disorganized, falling behind, or overwhelming you? I help small and medium-sized businesses regain total control of their finances, turn messy books into pristine records, and establish smooth accounting workflows. With over 9 years of hands-on accounting experience, a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, and certified credentials as both a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and Intuit Bookkeeper, I bring top-tier corporate accuracy directly to your business. How I can help your business thrive: Diagnostic & Catch-Up: Overhauling months or years of un-reconciled transactions, misclassifications, and messy data Full-Cycle Bookkeeping: Managing monthly accounts payable/receivable, bank reconciliations, and payroll. Financial Reporting: Delivering clear, accurate balance sheets and profit & loss statements so you can make informed business decisions. Non-Profit & Fundraising Accounting: Utilizing structural expertise from coordinating financial and fundraising operations for organizations like the American Red Cross. I pride myself on clear communication, absolute accuracy, and strict confidentiality. Let’s clean up your books so you can focus 100% on scaling your business. Click "Invite to Job" to get started!
