About the Business
- Years in Operation

- Employees

- Franchise

- Facilities & Assets
- 1200 Sq Ft. Currently set up for 3 work stations in the main area with two separate offices in the back.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business operates in the North Port–Sarasota–Bradenton metro, one of Florida's fastest-growing regions. The metro added roughly 76,000 residents between 2020 and 2023, with inbound migration outpacing outbound by about 3-to-1 in Sarasota County, and state economists project continued population growth in the region for decades — providing a natural tailwind for a buyer focused on organic growth in tax, bookkeeping, and year-round advisory services.
The tax preparation and bookkeeping market includes national tax-prep brands, independent local preparers, CPA and accounting firms, and do-it-yourself software.
The business competes effectively through an established, multi-season client base with strong year-over-year retention; recognized national brand affiliation that builds immediate trust and lowers customer-acquisition cost. - Opportunities for Growth
- Significant upside for a buyer willing to extend beyond seasonal filing into year-round services — expanding the existing bookkeeping base, small-business tax planning, and advisory — converting one-time filers into recurring annual revenue. The local market is experiencing strong population and household growth.
