Who we serve in Delray
Downtown Delray business owners, Atlantic Avenue restaurant and retail operators, real-estate professionals, and residents across the city's neighborhoods. Mix of full-time locals and snowbirds.
Five minutes up Federal, the whole practice
Everything we do, five minutes away:
- Personal income tax preparation (federal + state)
- S-corp, partnership, and corporate returns
- Bookkeeping, payroll, and QuickBooks support
- IRS and state audit representation
- Business formation and Florida compliance
Restaurant math on Atlantic Avenue
Restaurants carry tax mechanics most businesses never touch: employee tip reporting, the FICA tip credit that gives the employer back payroll tax paid on reported tips, Florida sales tax remittance, and the seasonal swing between a packed February and a quiet September. We keep the payroll, sales tax, and income tax sides consistent with each other, which is where restaurant books usually fall apart.
Delray rentals and real estate
Delray's rental market runs from annual leases to beach-area short-term units. Annual rentals are straightforward Schedule E filings with depreciation. Short-term rentals add state sales tax and county tourist development tax registration. Investors trading up sometimes ask about 1031 exchanges, which have strict timelines that need to be planned before the closing, not after.
Winter residents with a Delray address
Snowbirds who winter in Delray usually keep a filing obligation up north until their domicile genuinely moves. We prepare the northern part-year or nonresident return alongside the federal one and help document the Florida side: declaration of domicile, homestead, license, and voter registration.
Common questions
- Can you help with Delray business license and sales tax?
- Yes. Delray business tax receipts plus Florida sales tax registration are part of our business-formation work.
- How should my restaurant handle employee tips?
- Employees report tips, the payroll system withholds on them, and the business may claim the FICA tip credit on its return. Set up correctly, it's routine; set up wrong, it's an audit flag. We set it up correctly.
- Are my seasonal workers employees or 1099 contractors?
- Usually employees. Control over schedule, tools, and how the work gets done points to W-2 status, and misclassification penalties land on the employer. We'll look at your actual arrangement before you decide.
- Do we need to meet at your office?
- It's five minutes down Federal if you want to, but the portal, phone, and e-signature handle everything without the drive.
