Bookkeeping for Downtown St. Augustine
We’re a small business bookkeeper in Jacksonville that works with businesses in Downtown St. Augustine and across the First Coast. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work for books that have fallen behind, sales tax filing, and QuickBooks setup. The financial work you need handled without hiring someone full-time.
Downtown St. Augustine has a rhythm that most accounting firms don’t think about. Tourist season brings a surge in revenue and transactions. The quieter months bring a chance to catch your breath. But your books need to stay current through both. We work remotely with all our clients, so there’s no need to drive up to Jacksonville for a meeting.

Downtown St. Augustine Businesses We Work With
The historic district draws millions of visitors a year, and that foot traffic supports a dense concentration of small businesses. Restaurants on St. George Street, shops along Cathedral Place, tour operators, bed and breakfasts, and professional offices tucked into restored buildings. These businesses deal with high transaction volumes during peak season, and many of them let the books slide when things get busy.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. If you’ve outgrown doing the books yourself but aren’t ready to hire a full-time bookkeeper, that’s the gap we fill.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
Downtown St. Augustine is packed with dining spots from casual to fine dining. We handle the high transaction volume, tip reporting, and food cost tracking that restaurant owners deal with daily.
Retail and Boutiques
Retail and Boutiques
Art galleries, gift shops, clothing boutiques, and specialty stores that depend on tourist traffic. We track inventory movements, manage sales tax, and keep your books organized through seasonal revenue swings.
Tourism and Hospitality
Tourism and Hospitality
Tour operators, bed and breakfasts, vacation rental managers, and event venues. Revenue fluctuates with the season, and your bookkeeping needs to reflect that reality accurately so you can plan for the slower months.
