Accounting services
For the medical practice on Hospital Drive, the franchisee at the mall, and everyone in between.

Secure portal, bank integrations, and clean books reviewed by a CPA, not a bookkeeping mill. Multi-location chart of accounts where it matters; you see the numbers whenever you want.

The short answer
I’m a one-person CPA firm serving Altamonte Springs and Seminole County from my Mount Dora office, 35 minutes north via 441 and I-4. Longwood and Apopka are on the same routes. I keep the books and prepare the return myself, and every client gets a secure portal with real-time dashboards and automatic bank sync. Every engagement is scoped to your business on a discovery call. Altamonte runs on healthcare, retail, and hospitality, and those businesses deserve a CPA who answers the phone.
Why local matters
Four things an Altamonte business has to get right.
AdventHealth Anchor
Healthcare runs through this city.
AdventHealth's national headquarters sits in Altamonte Springs, and AdventHealth Altamonte Springs is the city's hospital, a $50M+ renovation just wrapped. Around it: medical practices, specialty clinics, durable medical equipment vendors, and physician-owned PCs. Each one needs entity strategy, equipment depreciation, retirement plan design, and S-Corp analysis. I do that work in plain English.
Uptown & The Mall
Retail and hospitality density, by design.
Cranes Roost Park, the 61-jet choreographed fountain, the Eddie Rose Amphitheater, Altamonte Mall with its 18-screen AMC, and a hotel cluster that includes Embassy Suites, Hilton, SpringHill, Residence Inn, Hampton Inn, and TownePlace Suites, Altamonte is one of Central Florida's most concentrated commercial districts. Sales tax, occupancy tax, and multi-location bookkeeping are the day-to-day work.
Debt-Free, Low-Tax City
A pro-business climate that rewards discipline.
The City of Altamonte Springs runs debt-free with one of the lowest tax rates in Florida, and it's loud about it. That's the right tonal match for how I work: clean books, predictable filings, no surprises in April. If your business calls Altamonte home because the math works, I keep the math working.
Connected, Bilingual, Growing
A SunRail city with a 30% Latino base.
Altamonte's SunRail station opened in 2014; the autonomous CraneRIDES shuttle loops Uptown; I-4 and SR 436 funnel a million-plus visitors a year through Red, Hot & Boom and the Cranes Roost calendar. The 2020 census put the Hispanic / Latino share at 30.6%, a fast-changing demographic that's reshaping the city's small-business mix.
Rooted in Altamonte
A city built on commerce and Cranes Roost.
Cranes Roost & Uptown
A 45-acre lakefront park with a 61-jet choreographed fountain show, the Eddie Rose Amphitheater, Plaza Tower, and the Nurture Art steel-crane sculpture, all wrapped by Uptown Altamonte’s pedestrian streets, restaurants, and hotels.
From 1882 to the I-4 era
Founded by Massachusetts businessmen as the Altamonte Land, Hotel and Navigation Company in 1882, incorporated in 1920, and reshaped by the Disney-era I-4 boom, population grew from 1,212 in 1960 to 46,231 today.
SunRail + autonomous shuttle
The Altamonte Springs SunRail station opened in 2014, and CraneRIDES, the city’s autonomous-vehicle shuttle, loops Uptown. One of the most transit-connected small cities in Central Florida.
What makes me different
Most Seminole County firms still run on paper. I built something different.
Most accounting offices in the area still operate on paper forms, phone calls, and once-a-year check-ins. I built a modern platform from scratch, and I use it with every client.
Secure client portal
Upload, view, track, from anywhere.
Documents, reports, and real-time financials accessible from any device. No email attachments, no fax machines, no lost paperwork.
Bank integrations
Transactions sync automatically.
Plaid-powered connections pull transactions nightly, so your books stay current without a shoebox of receipts or a manual data-entry pass at year-end.
Real-time dashboards
See your numbers whenever you want.
P&L, cash flow, and expense breakdowns available any day of the month, not just when I send a PDF. Curious in the middle of July? Log in.
Free financial tools
Calculators for the questions you ask yourself.
S-Corp savings, quarterly estimated tax, 1099 vs W-2 comparison, all free, no signup required. Run the numbers before you call me.
No other CPA firm serving Altamonte Springs combines this caliber of CPA work with this level of modern client tooling.

Bookkeeping in Altamonte Springs
Looking for an Altamonte Springs bookkeeper? You already are.
Most Altamonte Springs small businesses end up paying twice, once for a bookkeeper, then again for a CPA at tax time to clean up the bookkeeper's work. I'm a Florida CPA who also does your monthly bookkeeping, so it's one person on both sides.
Books run on Forty Two Six, my in-house bookkeeping platform, no QuickBooks subscription. Every engagement scoped on a discovery call. See the full bookkeeping service →
“His online systems for uploading documents and payment — and even a video of him explaining everything — make the whole process simple and transparent. He knew all the right questions to ask and ways to maximize my return.”

Questions I hear in Altamonte
Frequently asked questions.
How much does a bookkeeper in Altamonte Springs cost?
As of 2026, expect $200–$500 a month for an independent bookkeeper in Altamonte Springs, then another $800 or more when a CPA preps those books for filing. Because I am both the bookkeeper and the CPA, the year-end cleanup line simply doesn't exist. One engagement, scoped on a discovery call.
Do you offer bookkeeping services near Altamonte Springs?
Yes. Altamonte Springs is roughly 35 minutes from my Mount Dora office via 441 and I-4. Most Altamonte clients never need to make that drive, the secure portal carries the documents and the dashboards, but I do, when a face-to-face matters.
What's the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA in Altamonte Springs?
A bookkeeper records and categorizes transactions; a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is a state-licensed accountant who can also sign tax returns, represent you before the IRS, and provide tax strategy. A practice manager can keep books; only a CPA can also structure the entity, design the retirement plan, and sign the 1120-S. I do both ends of that under Florida license #AC62625.
Do you have an office in Altamonte Springs?
I'm based in Mount Dora, about 35 minutes north via 441 and I-4, and the practice is deliberately online-first: encrypted document exchange, live dashboards, automatic bank sync. In-person happens when it should, not because paperwork demands it.
How much does a CPA cost in Altamonte Springs?
I scope each engagement individually. A medical practice near AdventHealth and a franchisee at the mall need different work, and the engagement should reflect that. Book a discovery call at timcpa.com/contact and I'll walk you through what the engagement would look like.
Do you work with medical practices and healthcare professionals around AdventHealth?
Yes. AdventHealth's national headquarters and the AdventHealth Altamonte Springs hospital anchor a deep ecosystem of medical practices, specialty clinics, allied-health vendors, and physician-owned PCs. That work has its own playbook, entity selection for medical professionals, S-Corp election analysis for specialists, retirement plan design for practice owners, and equipment depreciation strategy. I handle all of it.
What does monthly bookkeeping include for an Altamonte Springs medical practice?
Categorized transactions and reconciled accounts every month, statements a lender or practice buyer will accept, clean separation of insurance reimbursements from patient payments, payroll coordination, and CPA review, plus proactive planning so the S-election, the retirement plan, and equipment purchases work together instead of by accident.
Do you handle multi-location bookkeeping for restaurants, retailers, and franchisees in the Altamonte Mall / Uptown area?
Yes. The Uptown Altamonte and Altamonte Mall ecosystem, Seasons 52, Bahama Breeze, Tibby's, Kobe, the hotel cluster, Fleet Feet, and dozens of franchise and locally-owned spots, runs on sales tax, occupancy tax, multi-location books, and tip reporting. I set up the chart of accounts to track unit-level P&L and keep your filings on time.
