What the evidence shows
Pricing
No firm on this page puts a price on its website. 1 of 8 says it quotes each client, and the other 7 say nothing about fees at all. Across Florida, the share publishing a price is 10%, so this group is behind its state. A written scope with the fee and its limits is the thing to ask for on a first call.
Licenses and public records
Because Florida publishes its records as open data, the checks for this group found 1 firm with an active CPA license or permit on Florida's published register and 4 with a business registration found in the state's registry data. The CPA records we matched belong to Bloom CPAs and Advisors. 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.
