Bookkeeping Services for Tampa-Area Small Businesses
SoFlo360 is a Florida-based bookkeeping firm serving Tampa-area small businesses remotely. We're an hour east in Polk County, the work happens entirely online, and we serve clients from Hyde Park to Westshore to Brandon — including the small operators getting squeezed out by the downtown mid-size firms that won't take you on under $800 a month.
How We Work
How we work with Tampa-area businesses
Tampa Bay is one of the fastest-growing metros in the country. The downside if you're a small operator is that local firms have moved upmarket — most won't quote you under $800–$1,200 a month, and if they do, you're the smallest client on their bench. We built SoFlo360 for the other end of the market: solo owners, owner-operators, and small teams in Hyde Park, Westshore, Carrollwood, Brandon, South Tampa, and the Westchase / Lutz / Wesley Chapel growth corridor who need clean monthly bookkeeping without paying a downtown office's overhead. Bank feeds, document upload, video calls, monthly close on a calendar date. We're not pretending to be Tampa-local — we're an hour east on I-4 — and we'd rather be honest about that than charge for an office we don't have.
Industries
Tampa industries we work with
These are the categories where we tend to fit small operators in the Tampa market best. If yours isn't listed, ask us anyway — about half our work is in industries we don't have a dedicated page for yet.
Restaurants
Restaurants & cafés
Independent restaurants and cafés from Ybor City and Seminole Heights to Hyde Park, Davis Islands, and SoHo. Food cost, labor, tips, daily sales, and Hillsborough County sales tax tracked monthly. POS reconciliation against bank deposits.

Tampa FAQ
Common questions from Tampa-area business owners.
No. We're an hour east in Polk County (Auburndale / Lakeland area). Almost everything in modern bookkeeping runs remote — bank feeds, document upload, cloud accounting, video calls. Most of our Tampa clients have never met us in person and find video covers every conversation from onboarding through year-end.
Three reasons. One: no downtown office overhead — we work from Polk County. Two: we're built around smaller businesses (under 200 transactions a month, under $50K monthly expenses), so we're not pricing for the mid-market work we don't take on. Three: our team is small and the engagement is structured around the monthly close, not billable hours. If you're north of 500 transactions a month with multi-entity work, a downtown firm may actually fit you better — and we'll say so up front.
Yes. We set the books up to track Florida state sales tax (6%) plus the Hillsborough discretionary surtax — 1.5%, one of the higher rates in the state — correctly per transaction. For vacation rentals we also handle the Hillsborough tourist development tax (6%). We prepare each return so it's ready to file; the filing itself is normally done by you or your CPA.
Yes. Tampa Bay has a deep Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and South American business community — Town 'N' Country, parts of Brandon, and the Wesley Chapel growth area especially. 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 Hillsborough County (Brandon, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Ruskin, Lutz, Plant City, Town 'N' Country) and adjacent Pasco (Wesley Chapel, Land O'Lakes) is what we mean by 'Tampa-area' on this page. The work is identical and the pricing is identical — there is no location markup.
That's fine. Your QuickBooks Online file is yours — we don't lock it down, we don't trap data, and we deliver a clean year-end packet to whoever takes over. We've handed files to Tampa firms before and nobody's come back saying our work needed cleanup. Switching costs you nothing on our end — just give us 30 days' notice.
