Bookkeeping Services for Fort Lauderdale-Area Small Businesses
SoFlo360 is a Florida-based bookkeeping firm serving Fort Lauderdale-area small businesses remotely. We're in Polk County, about three hours northwest, and the entire engagement runs online. Built for the marine, hospitality, real estate, and professional-services businesses that drive Broward's economy.
How We Work
How we work with Fort Lauderdale-area businesses
Fort Lauderdale is a marine and hospitality hub (yachting, charters, restaurants, hotels) wrapped around a dense, diverse small-business economy. Plenty of owners here are paying downtown rates for bookkeeping they could get done better and cheaper remotely. We handle the monthly close online: bank feeds, document upload, sales and tourist tax, year-end packet to your CPA. We're three hours northwest in Polk County, but you'll run the whole engagement from your laptop.

How remote bookkeeping works
The process is identical for Fort Lauderdale and for every other Florida market we serve. Here is what it looks like.
01
Free consultation by video or phone
One 30-minute call covers it: the business, the current state of the books, and what you need. Video or phone, no preparation needed.
02
Secure document upload
Your bank statements, earlier tax returns, and any current QuickBooks file come in through the client portal, encrypted so they stay secure.
03
Monthly bookkeeping rhythm
The books close on a monthly rhythm: bank feeds reconciled, transactions categorized, reports delivered. Email or a short call covers any question in between.
04
Year-end hand-off to your CPA
We close the year with a clean packet for your CPA or tax preparer. The filing stays with them; the easy hand-off comes from us.

Your address in Fort Lauderdale doesn't change the price. We quote the same fixed, transparent tiers statewide, and the full pricing page spells out inclusions, complexity adders, and cleanup costs.

Fort Lauderdale FAQ
Common questions from Fort Lauderdale-area business owners.
We're based in Polk County, about three hours northwest, and the entire engagement runs online. Bank feeds, cloud accounting, video calls, monthly reports. Almost everything in modern bookkeeping runs remote. Bank feeds, document upload, cloud accounting, video calls. Most of our Fort Lauderdale clients have never met us in person, and video covers every conversation from onboarding through year-end.
A few reasons. One: no city-office overhead. We work remotely from Polk County, so you're not paying for a Fort Lauderdale storefront. Two: we're built specifically for smaller businesses (solo owners and small teams under a few hundred transactions a month) so we're not priced around the mid-market work larger firms structure around. Three: the engagement is a fixed monthly close, not billable hours. If you're a high-volume, multi-entity operation, a larger firm may genuinely fit you better. And we'll tell you that up front.
Yes. We set the books up to track Florida state sales tax (6%) plus the Broward County discretionary surtax (1%) correctly per transaction. For vacation rentals, the county tourist development tax also applies, and we track it per property. We prepare each return so it's ready to file; the filing itself is normally done by you or your CPA.
Broward County has one of the largest and most diverse Hispanic and Caribbean business communities in the country. We offer Spanish-friendly support. Calls, emails, and document review can run in Spanish whenever that's easier for the client.
For our purposes, yes. Anywhere in Broward County (Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Plantation, Davie, and the rest of Broward County) is what we mean by 'Fort Lauderdale-area' on this page. The work is identical and the pricing is identical. There's no location markup.
That's fine. Your QuickBooks Online file is yours. We don't lock it down and we don't trap data. We deliver a clean year-end packet to whoever takes over, and switching costs you nothing on our end. Just give us 30 days' notice.
