What the evidence shows

Pricing

You won't find a fee on any of these 10 websites. None of the 10 say they work by quote, and 10 of 10 don't mention pricing. That's less open than Florida as a whole, where 10% publish a price. Get the monthly fee, the transaction volume it assumes and what counts as extra in writing.

Licenses and public records

Florida publishes records we can match, so we could check this group against them: 2 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 Collier, Jernigan, Eastman & Zublick, P.A. and Southern 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 25 and 57; the median across every scored firm is 41.5. 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: DIBS LLC (57 at 88% coverage), Elexza Business Solutions, LLC (48 at 86% coverage) and Collier, Jernigan, Eastman & Zublick, P.A. (44 at 86% coverage). A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
