What the evidence shows
Pricing
No firm on this page publishes a monthly price. 1 of 22 says it quotes each client, and 21 say nothing about fees at all. That's less open than Florida as a whole, where 5% publish a monthly price. Get the monthly fee, the transaction volume it assumes and what counts as extra in writing.
Services and process
If you're behind, start with the 1 firm that says it does catch-up or cleanup work. On this page that's Nexus One. On process, 3 of 22 give a reporting schedule and 3 explain onboarding. Nationally 24% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is below the norm.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (41%); after it come ADP 14% and QuickBooks Online 14%. If you run Xero, Nexus One names it. 3 of 22 say they work with clients remotely, so a firm across the metro can still take you on.
Licenses and public records
Florida publishes records we can match, so we could check this group against them: 3 firms with an active CPA license or permit on Florida's published register and 14 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. The CPA records we matched belong to James M Wesolowski, CPA, P.A, Solomon & Hoover CPAs, PLLC and Pruitt Cordell & Associates. Each profile shows the license or permit number and the date we checked. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Florida Board of Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
Numbered scores on this list run from 60 down to 21, and the median across every scored firm is 31.5. 2 more firms reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so they sit under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: James M Wesolowski, CPA, P.A (60 at 92% coverage), Hughes Snell & Co PA (54 at 88% coverage) and Nexus One (53 at 94% coverage). Fort Myers has the most numbered firms (7), and the list spans 5 towns in all. A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
