      As an accounting firm I would give them 1 star. I recently discovered a litany of deductions they failed to consider. You will be given an EA, which is just a glorified tax preparer. They will know nothing and be slow to reply. You might as well get your taxes done by H&R block or a proper independent CPA. If these folks do your taxes, get prepared for a larger tax bill. I strongly advise against it.

      I found an amazing CPA! Stephanie is seriously the best - easily 5 stars! She's super quick to respond whenever I message her with questions.What I love most is how she breaks down complicated tax stuff in ways that actually make sense. When we needed to restructure our company, she walked us through everything step by step. No jargon, just clear advice.She also saved us from a total nightmare with the Florida Department of Revenue. We were completely stuck until she stepped in and sorted it all out!Honestly, Stephanie goes way beyond what you'd expect from a regular accountant. She's always looking out for us and suggesting smart moves we wouldn't have thought of.If you need a CPA who's knowledgeable but also actually cares about your business, Stephanie's your person. Can't recommend her enough!

      Stephanie has done my taxes for the past 2 years (personal return). She is easy to work with and the process is always smooth. Stephanie is accommodating as well and has a positive attitude. She is also very knowledgeable and has a masters degree in taxation, if I’m not mistaken. I trust her judgment completely.Good experience!Update June 2023: Steph has done my biz, personal, and trust taxes for years now. I don’t trust anyone else. She is phenomenal with her customer service, fair pricing, and attention to detail. Also she responds to you and communicates. Note that I’m very particular about who I work with and Stephanie exceeds my expectations every time.I did stray one year and went to someone else who did not do a good job and charged me double the price. That I regret and back with Taxes Tampa now!

      Used them for years , horrible cust support. When I finnaly got rid of them at the end of 2024, i also had workers comp. They never stopped charging my co. for workers comp. I called again and found out they lied and have no record of that request. but the Payroll side was canceled. How is that even possible. called again. finally they stopped deducting for workers comp. I demanded a refund , they said ok. So what they did was do an audit for 2023, and 2034 for no reason. instead of just refunding me for 5 months of charges. They billed me for audits .2023 charges for an unnecessary audit where 1181.37 , for 2024 charges were 1670.20. are you kidding me. this has to be illegal. what in the heck is going on. 28581.57 for unnecessary audits. stay very far away form this Company !!!!

      The customer service from this company is absolutely horrible and frustrating. Every time I request information, I receive inconsistent answers, and they often seem to misunderstand my inquiries. It takes countless emails just to get my point across. Additionally, they need to recognize that Florida has speakers of different languages, and not everyone expresses themselves in the way they expect.Furthermore, it's important for them to understand that executives often have assistants handling these matters, but they frequently choose to communicate directly with the heads of the companyJust to clarify, I am sharing this review based on my personal experience, not representing my company’s perspective.

They provide support with day-to-day HR operations and are a good HR partner to consider—especially if you're looking to avoid the overhead of building your own in-house team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Accounting Firms in Tampa

What services do accountants in Tampa offer?

Accountants in Tampa typically offer business bookkeeping, accounting, tax planning and filing, payroll, and audit and assurance. Many also provide corporate advisory and consulting services, assisting in new business formation, outsourcing CFOs, forensic accounting, and IRS representation.  

In addition to serving businesses, many Tampa accountants also offer individual tax preparation and estate and trust tax services.

What industries do Tampa accounting firms commonly specialize in?

Accounting firms in the Tampa Bay area often focus on industries prominent in the local economy, including financial services, healthcare, technology, real estate, construction, manufacturing, and logistics. Local demand is mostly influenced by the region’s economic activity along the I-4 corridor, the presence of Port Tampa Bay, and a large base of mid-market employers and regulated employers. 

Additionally, many Tampa accounting firms also serve specific client segments, including nonprofits, professional and legal services, public companies, and small businesses, tailoring their services to the needs of their clients. 

What are the differences between a bookkeeper, an accountant, and a CPA?

The differences between a bookkeeper, an accountant, and a CPA are primary focus and credentials.  

A bookkeeper doesn’t need a college degree but may hold certain certifications. For instance, a PTIN enables them to file taxes, but they can't represent clients during IRS audits. As such, it's best to hire a bookkeeper to record daily transactions and manage monthly cash flows. 

An accountant holds an accounting degree and can provide bookkeeping, prepare financial statements, and plan and file taxes with a PTIN. It can also offer financial analysis and strategic business advice. 

A certified public accountant (CPA) has been licensed by the state (Florida) to certify financial statements and external audits in addition to regular accounting services. They also have the authority to file taxes and represent clients during IRS audits with a PTIN and the appropriate legal documents. 

How much do accounting services cost in Tampa, Florida?

The cost of accounting services in Tampa ranges between $40 and $100 per hour for basic bookkeeping to over $400 per hour for high-level services, such as audits and advisory. 

The actual costs will be determined by the service type, transaction volume, business structure, complexity of the work, compliance requirements, and level of expertise. 

To help you more concretely budget your accounting needs, here are the average rates of accountants in Tampa: 

Consulting and advisory: $200-$350 per hour 

  • Audit and assurance: $250-$400 per hour 
  • Bookkeeping: $40-$100 per hour  
  • Business tax preparation: ~$150-$350 per tax return or $1,000-$3,000 per project for small to mid-sized businesses and over $5,000 for large corporations. 

Accountants in Florida have competitive rates when compared to other major states, with a median salary of $78,470. In contrast, New York accountants have a median salary of $101,780, while California accountants have a median salary of $95,360. 

What records should you provide?

Once you've signed the necessary agreements, provide these records to your Tampa accounting firm, so that they can help keep your statements accurate and compliant according to federal, state, and local laws: 

  • Business identification numbers (EIN) 
  • The previous year’s recent tax forms and proof of tax payments 
  • Recent financial statement, including balance sheet, cash flow statement, and income statement 
  • Financial records, including bank and credit card statements, receipts, invoices, sales, and expense records 
  • Payroll records
