Thirty services across bookkeeping, tax, payroll and business formation, all handled in one Homestead, FL office so the numbers agree from start to finish.

Our Accounting And Tax Services In Homestead, FL

Premium Tax & Accounting Services works with owner-run small businesses and the people behind them: sole proprietors, single-member and multi-member LLCs, S-Corporations, C-Corporations and individual filers. Some clients need everything, from monthly books through payroll to the year-end return. Others come in for one thing, often a few years of catch-up. Either way, the work is done by the same person who'll answer your questions about it, and it's done in-house so your books, payroll records and returns tell the same story.

Bookkeeping: Books That Match The Bank, Every Month

Whether you need the books done monthly, quarterly, once a year or rebuilt from a pile of statements, the goal is the same: numbers you can trust and file from. The full picture is on our bookkeeping page.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Every transaction is categorized and reconciled each month, so you always know what came in, what went out and what's left. You get a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet soon after the month closes, and tax season starts with books that are already finished. It's the right fit when the business has steady activity, employees or a loan, and waiting a whole quarter to see the numbers would cost you.

Quarterly Bookkeeping

When volume is lighter, four catch-up points a year is plenty. Each quarter is reconciled against your bank and card statements and closed out with reports you can read in five minutes. The timing lines up with estimated tax deadlines, so you see your actual profit before a payment is due instead of guessing at it.

Annual Bookkeeping

Some businesses only need their books built once a year, right before the return. You hand over the year's bank statements, card statements and receipts. Every transaction gets sorted to the right account and the finished books go straight to the tax side of the office. One handoff, and your return is built on numbers that reconcile.

Catch-Up / Cleanup Bookkeeping

This is the reason most owners first call. Months or years of statements nobody opened, a books file that stopped matching the bank, receipts in a box under the desk. The missing periods get rebuilt in order, every account gets reconciled, and you end up with a current set of books you can file from. You don't need to organize anything first. Bring what you have, and you'll hear exactly what's missing.

QuickBooks Desktop Setup & Management

If your business runs on QuickBooks Desktop, the file gets set up right from the start: a chart of accounts that matches how you actually operate, bank imports, sales tax items where they apply and user access that makes sense. From there it's maintained month after month, so the file stays accurate and ready for the return. QuickBooks Online files are handled as well.

QuickBooks Cleanup / Reclassification

A QuickBooks file can look busy and still be wrong. Duplicate entries, expenses parked in a catch-all account, owner draws booked as wages, uncleared checks from years ago. The file gets reviewed line by line, transactions are reclassified to the right accounts, duplicates come out and every account is reconciled to its statements, so your reports finally describe the business you run.

Bank Reconciliation Only

Doing your own entry and just want a second set of eyes on it? Your bank and credit card accounts get reconciled to the statements each period, anything that doesn't match gets flagged, and you receive a short list of items to fix or explain. You keep control of the day-to-day. The balances get checked by someone who does this every day.

Financial Statement Preparation

Banks, landlords, bonding companies and loan programs all ask for the same two documents: a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet they can rely on. Clean, properly formatted statements are prepared from your reconciled books, ready to hand over the day someone asks, or whenever you want a straight look at how the year is going.

Business Returns — S-Corp (Form 1120-S)

S-Corporation owners need a return that ties to the books and gets every K-1 right, because those K-1s drive each shareholder's personal return. Form 1120-S is prepared and e-filed, the split between your payroll wages and your distributions gets reviewed, and anything likely to draw questions is flagged before it goes out. You'll understand what you're signing.

Business Returns — C-Corp (Form 1120)

A C-Corporation files its own return and pays its own tax, which makes the details matter. Form 1120 is prepared from reconciled books with the schedules that come with it, and you get a plain explanation of what the corporation owes and why. If the structure still suits your business, good. If it no longer does, you'll hear that too.

Business Returns — Partnership / LLC (Form 1065)

Multi-member LLCs and partnerships file Form 1065 and issue a K-1 to every partner. The return is prepared and e-filed, income and losses are allocated the way your operating agreement says, and K-1s go out early enough that nobody's personal return gets stuck waiting on the business.

Tax Planning & Strategy

The cheapest time to lower a tax bill is before December 31, not after. Your numbers get reviewed during the year, the likely bill gets projected, and the decisions that move it get talked through: how you pay yourself, when to buy equipment, whether your entity still fits and how much to set aside. You head into filing season knowing the number.

Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments

If no employer withholds tax from your income, the IRS expects payments four times a year. Each estimate is calculated from your real numbers, you get the amounts and due dates ahead of time, and the figures are adjusted as the year changes, so April doesn't arrive with a balance due plus an underpayment penalty.

Prior Year Unfiled Returns

Missing a year or two, or more, is more common than most people think, and it's fixable. Your income records get gathered, what's missing gets rebuilt, and each unfiled return is prepared and filed in order. Then you get a clear picture of what's owed, if anything, and what comes next. The sooner it starts, the less time penalties and interest have to grow.

Amended Tax Returns

Found a missing 1099, a dependent who wasn't claimed or a deduction that got left off? The original return is reviewed, the amendment is prepared (Form 1040-X for individuals, or the matching amended business return) and filed with a clear explanation of what changed and why.

Payroll Processing — Weekly

Crews and hourly staff who expect a check every Friday need payroll that runs every Friday. Weekly payroll is processed with withholding and deductions calculated, pay stubs delivered and direct deposit handled, so your people get paid correctly and on time while you stay on the job.

More on weekly payroll

Payroll Processing — Bi-Weekly

Every other week is the most common schedule for small employers. Each bi-weekly run accounts for hours, overtime and tips where they apply, and the records tie directly into your payroll tax filings and year-end forms, so nothing has to be rebuilt in January.

More on bi-weekly payroll

Payroll Processing — Semi-Monthly

Paying salaried staff on the 15th and the last day of the month? Semi-monthly payroll runs on those dates, with pay prorated for new hires and departures and withholding kept accurate even when pay periods don't line up neatly with work weeks.

More on semi-monthly payroll

Payroll Processing — Monthly

For an S-Corp owner paying themselves a salary, or a small salaried team, a single monthly run keeps things simple. Withholding is handled each month and owner wages land on the books exactly the way the business return needs them.

Payroll Tax Deposits & Filings (941, 940)

Withholding the tax is half the job. Depositing it on schedule and filing the returns is the other half. Federal payroll tax deposits are made on time, Form 941 is filed every quarter and Form 940 every year, so missed deadlines and the penalties attached to them stop being something you think about.

W-2 Preparation & Filing

At year end every employee needs a W-2, and the Social Security Administration needs copies. W-2s are prepared from the year's payroll records, delivered to your staff by the January deadline and filed, reconciled to what was reported on your 941s all year.

1099-NEC / 1099-MISC Preparation & Filing

Paid a subcontractor, an independent stylist or a landlord this year? Those payments may need a 1099. The people who should receive one are identified, W-9 details are collected, and 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms are prepared and filed, so the people you paid and the IRS see the same numbers.

LLC Formation

Starting out, or moving a side business into its own entity? Your Florida LLC is formed and filed with the state, and the steps that come right after are lined up: the federal tax ID, the records your bank will ask for and books that are set up from the first transaction.

S-Corporation Formation

Once profits reach a certain level, an S-Corporation can change how much self-employment tax you pay. First comes an honest look at whether the election makes sense for your numbers. Then the corporation is formed, or the election is filed for your existing LLC, and the owner payroll an S-Corp requires is set up.

C-Corporation Formation

For a business planning to bring in investors or keep earnings inside the company, a C-Corporation can be the right structure. The articles of incorporation are filed in Florida, the federal tax ID is put in place, and the books and tax calendar the corporation will need are set up from day one.

EIN / Federal Tax ID Application

Your business needs an Employer Identification Number to open a bank account, run payroll and file its returns. The EIN application is filed with the IRS for you, with the legal name and entity type matching your state filing so nothing gets rejected later.

Annual Report Filing

Every Florida LLC and corporation must file an annual report with the state between January 1 and May 1. File late and there's a fee. Skip it long enough and the state dissolves the company. The deadline is tracked and your annual report is filed each year, so your business stays active.
