Bookkeeping and accounting for Jacksonville small businesses

Keep your financial records current, understand your monthly numbers, and prepare for tax season with RJ Accounting Solutions.

Monthly bookkeeping. Full transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable tracking, and a clean monthly close. We work in Xero and other modern cloud platforms so you have real-time access to your books from anywhere.

Financial statement preparation. Monthly profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statements, prepared to a standard that holds up with lenders, investors, and buyers, delivered with plain-English commentary on what changed and why.

Payroll coordination. Setup and ongoing oversight of payroll through Gusto or your preferred provider, including Florida registrations, quarterly filings, year-end W-2s and 1099s, and making sure payroll ties cleanly to the general ledger.

Sales tax and compliance. Florida sales and use tax registration, tracking, and filing, along with local business tax receipts and the other recurring filings that are easy to forget and expensive to miss.

Cleanup and catch-up. Behind on the books? Inherited a mess from a prior bookkeeper? We rebuild historical records, correct misclassifications, and bring everything current so you have a clean starting point.

Business acquisition accounting. If you've recently bought a business, or are about to, the first year is critical. We handle the opening balance sheet, purchase price allocation, entity structure and S-corp election timing, and the state registrations that need to happen on day one. This is a specialty of the firm and one of the most common reasons owners come to us.

Advisory and tax planning. Because we see your numbers every month, we can plan ahead. Quarterly tax projections, entity structure reviews, owner compensation strategy, and cash flow planning are built into the relationship rather than billed as an afterthought.

How to get started

Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute conversation. We'll talk through where your books stand today, what's frustrating you about your current setup, and what you actually need. If it's a fit, we'll put together a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume and complexity, so you know exactly what you're paying with no hourly surprises. Most clients are fully onboarded within two to three weeks.
