Your Flagler Beach Bookkeeper & Licensed Tax Professional
Flagler Beach businesses face a challenge most mainland bookkeepers don't appreciate: seasonality. Revenue peaks in summer and around spring break. It slows in the fall. Cash has to last all year. On top of that, tourist-facing businesses deal with Florida sales tax on food, merchandise, and lodging — each with its own rules and filing schedule. A bookkeeper in Flagler Beach needs to understand all of it, not just how to categorize transactions.
Most Flagler Beach business owners commute to Palm Coast or Bunnell to find financial help — or work with a remote bookkeeper who doesn't know the coastal market. Simple Books Now serves Flagler Beach clients fully remotely. Luisa is a Federally authorized Enrolled Agent with direct knowledge of the seasonal small business environment here. No commute. No generic advice. Solid books and tax strategy built around how your Flagler Beach business actually runs.

Yes — we work with all Flagler Beach clients fully remotely. Palm Coast and Flagler Beach are minutes apart, and we serve the entire Flagler County area. Everything is handled online: document sharing, bookkeeping, tax filings, and communication.
We build your books to show monthly performance clearly so you can see cash flow trends over the year — not just a year-end total. We also plan estimated taxes based on actual YTD results rather than last year's numbers, so you're not overpaying in a slow year or underpaying in a strong one.
Short-term rentals in Florida (including Airbnb and VRBO) are subject to Florida sales tax AND county tourist development tax. Many Flagler Beach rental owners don't realize they owe both. We register you correctly, track rental income and expenses, and handle all filings so you stay compliant.
Yes. We'll assess what's owed, prepare the back filings, and work with the Florida Department of Revenue to minimize penalties — including voluntary disclosure if that's the right approach for your situation. Then we set up ongoing compliance so it doesn't happen again.
Florida's sales tax rules on food and beverages are complicated — prepared food is taxable, grocery items generally aren't, and alcohol has its own rules on top of that. We make sure you're collecting the right amount on the right items so you're not exposed in an audit.
