Accounting Professionals
Staffing Cost Reduction
To Productive
Free Trial
The finance firms that relocated to Miami and Palm Beach, Citadel, Blackstone, and Apollo, now bid for the same professionals your firm needs, and office overhead in Miami has climbed with the corporate migration.
In Orlando and Central Florida, the tourism economy anchored by Walt Disney World and Universal’s new Epic Universe park pulls from the regional labor pool. Around Tampa Bay and the Space Coast, financial services and aerospace compete too. Turnover runs high in these fast-growing metros.
Florida CPA firms that move to outsourced accounting with Acculink reduce staffing costs by 60 to 70 percent, without giving up quality, turnaround times, or data security. Our 300+ professionals integrate into your existing workflow and operate on your schedule.
The dedicated staffing model: a professional who works exclusively for your firm, on your schedule, under your direct supervision.
You meet the professional before the engagement starts.
You set the tasks and review the output.
Two engagement models: a dedicated full-time hire, or a managed team for practices needing broader coverage across multiple roles.
A dedicated offshore team matched to your work, from entry-level support to senior oversight.
Transaction entry, reconciliations, ledger upkeep.
Receivables, payables, and billing management.
Payroll processing, tax filings, employer reporting.
General ledger, month-end close, statements.
Individual, corporate, and pass-through returns.
Workpapers, tie-outs, and schedule preparation.
Forecasting, budget-to-actual, KPI dashboards.
What We Handle
Full-cycle accounting, reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close, financial statement preparation, and workpaper documentation.
Your team follows your chart of accounts, software platforms, and review process.
Federal individual and business returns (1040, 1120, 1120-S, 1065) plus Florida’s business filings: the F-1120 corporate income tax return, DR-15 sales and use tax, and DR-405 tangible personal property.
Florida has no individual income tax return, which your team factors into every engagement.
Payroll processing, payroll tax filings, W-2 and 1099 preparation, and employer reporting.
Your team handles federal payroll taxes, Florida reemployment tax filings, and new-hire reporting. Florida has no state income tax withholding, simpler than most states.
Workpaper preparation, trial balance tie-outs, variance analysis, confirmation letters, and schedule preparation for reviews and compilations.
So your licensed CPAs review rather than assemble.
Cash flow forecasting, budget-to-actual analysis, KPI dashboards, and management reporting packages, built on your firm’s existing advisory model.
Florida’s economy runs on real estate, tourism, finance, and international trade, each generating demanding accounting work.
Construction alone accounts for roughly 5.7% of the state’s economy. For developers, investors, and construction clients, your team handles percentage-of-completion accounting, documentary stamp tax, 1031 exchange tracking, and homestead and Save Our Homes calculations.
Florida drew a record 143 million visitors in 2024, and the hotels, restaurants, and attractions that serve them, from Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando to independent operators, generate high-volume sales tax, tourist development tax, and seasonal payroll work.
Hedge funds, private equity firms, and family offices migrating to Miami and Palm Beach have concentrated complex investment partnerships and high-net-worth individuals in South Florida: partnership accounting, investment income schedules, and multistate returns.
Miami is the financial gateway to Latin America, and the foreign investment flowing through it brings FIRPTA withholding on foreign sellers of US real estate, inbound entity structuring, and foreign reporting.
AdventHealth, HCA Florida Healthcare, and Baptist Health South Florida anchor a healthcare economy of physician groups, ambulatory centers, and ancillary companies, with revenue recognition, cost reporting, and multi-entity payroll work.
For a Miami, Orlando, or Tampa firm carrying two or three positions, the in-house vs. offshore comparison is the practice’s most important number.
| Factor | In-House Hire (Florida) | Acculink Offshore |
|---|---|---|
| Factor | In-House Hire (Florida) | Acculink Offshore |
| Annual salary, staff accountant (Florida metro) | $62,000–$80,000 | $18,000–$30,000 |
| Employer payroll taxes and benefits | $12,000–$17,000 | None |
| Office overhead (Miami / South Florida) | $6,000–$12,000 per year | None |
| Recruiting and placement fees | $8,000–$15,000 | None |
| Training | $2,000–$5,000 | Included |
| Time to productive | 3–5 months | 2–3 weeks |
| SOC 2 Type II coverage | Firm’s responsibility | Included |
| Turnover risk | High | Low |
Florida firms carrying two staff accountants at metro-area rates typically save $120,000 to $155,000 per year with the Acculink model, and more once recruiting and turnover costs are included.
No state income tax moves the work to sales tax, transfer taxes, and multistate returns. Your team already works in all of them, on the right forms, from day one.
Prepared on DR-15 at the 6% state rate plus each county’s 0.5% to 1.5% discretionary surtax on the first $5,000 of a single sale.
Repealed by House Bill 7031 effective October 1, 2025; your team accounts for it on every affected commercial lease.
Prepared at $0.70 per $100 of consideration on deeds statewide, $0.60 per $100 plus a $0.45 surtax on all but single-family homes in Miami-Dade, and $0.35 per $100 on notes and mortgages, for your real estate, investor, and 1031 exchange clients.
Computed for homestead clients: the exemption up to $50,000 and the Save Our Homes cap at 3% or CPI, whichever is lower.
No state income tax and no estate or inheritance tax draw relocating clients from New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois; your team prepares their part-year or nonresident departure-state return and the workpapers behind the Florida residency position.
Your dedicated team works these on the current forms and rates; the filing decisions and sign-off stay with your licensed CPAs.
Compliance
Florida law reaches your firm and the providers it uses. Acculink operates inside every framework below.
Written client consent is required before tax return information goes to a preparer outside the United States, even your own supervised staff (26 CFR 301.7216-2(c)(2)). Your firm retains full responsibility for client data and all output review.
FIPA (Florida Statutes 501.171) binds your provider to reasonable security and its own breach-notice duty on Florida residents’ personal information. Acculink carries that duty; its SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2013 certifications and contract terms meet the reasonable-security standard FIPA expects.
As a tax preparer your firm falls under the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314, updated 2023). Acculink’s certified security environment supports your third-party service provider documentation under it.
Under Florida Statutes Chapter 473, attest stays with licensed CPAs; non-licensed staff may prepare tax returns and financial statements without an opinion. Acculink handles that production work under your licensed CPAs, who sign off on all output.
