What the evidence shows
Pricing
No firm on this page puts a price on its website. None of the 16 say they quote each client, and the other 16 say nothing about fees at all. That's less open than Florida as a whole, where 10% publish a price. A written scope with the fee and its limits is the thing to ask for on a first call.
Services and process
None of the 16 sites here mentions catch-up or cleanup work, so ask about past months directly if you're behind. On process, none of the 16 give a reporting schedule and 3 explain onboarding. Nationally 21% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is below the norm.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks is the software named most, by 8 of 16 firms, ahead of QuickBooks Online 12% and Xero 6%. If you run Xero, MAITLAND & ASSOCIATES, INC names it. Remote work is stated by 4 of 16; the filter above the list narrows to them.
Licenses and public records
Because Florida publishes its records as open data, the checks for this group found 4 firms with an active CPA license or permit on Florida's published register and 9 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. The CPA records we matched belong to Delaney Cpa, Coastal CPA Firm, John R. Ledgerwood, CPA, P.A. and Jody Radcliff CPA. Each profile shows the license or permit number and the date we checked. Check any CPA claim yourself on the Florida Board of Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
The numbered firms score between 21 and 51; the median across every scored firm is 29.5. 3 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: AFK Accounting (51 at 86% coverage), Delaney Cpa (49 at 88% coverage) and Coastal CPA Firm (42 at 85% coverage). Daytona Beach has the most numbered firms (4), and the list spans 6 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.
