The Short Version
Shea Business Solutions handles small business tax preparation across Orlando, FL: returns for S-Corps, partnerships, LLCs, and sole proprietors, prepared by the same QuickBooks Level 2 ProAdvisor who keeps the books all year. Tax prep starts at $90 per return, with year-round planning instead of an April scramble. The return is only as good as the ledger under it, and here both live in the same hands.
Most tax-season pain is really bookkeeping pain arriving late. A year of unreconciled transactions lands on a preparer's desk in March, deductions hide inside personal accounts, and the filing runs on estimates.
We work in the other direction. The books stay reconciled monthly, the payroll agrees with the W-2s, and by February the return is mostly assembled before tax season even gets loud.

S-Corp returns and the salary question
If you are looking for an S-Corp specialist in Orlando, the first thing to check is whether they also run payroll, because the 1120-S stands or falls on the owner's W-2. An S-Corp owner who works in the business has to take a reasonable salary before distributions, and that salary has to move through real payroll during the year, not get reconstructed at filing time.
As a Certified Payroll Specialist, we set the payroll up so the W-2 and the return agree, then prepare the 1120-S and the K-1s from a reconciled file. One Orlando client came to us for bookkeeping and left with an optimized S-Corp tax structure on top of financials strong enough to win a $75,000 expansion loan. The full engagement, Form 1120-S, shareholder K-1s and the salary work behind them, is laid out on the S-corp tax preparation page.

Deductions you can defend
Maximizing deductions is not a trick performed in April. It is a bookkeeping habit that runs all year, because a deduction that never got recorded is a deduction that never existed. Mixed personal and business spending is where most of them go to die.
When we reconstructed 24 months of books for an Orlando commercial painting contractor facing a state payroll audit, the cleanup surfaced $14,500 in missed tax deductions and the audit closed with zero penalties. Clean categories found that money, not clever arguments.

Year-round strategic tax planning
Filing looks backward. Planning looks forward, and it is where the actual savings live: quarterly estimates that match reality, equipment timing, entity questions raised in June while there is still a year left to act. That is the year-round planning built into how we work, and it is why our clients treat April like any other month.
- S-Corp, partnership, LLC, and individual returns. Business and personal filings prepared from the same reconciled file.
- Payroll that matches the return. Owner salary set and run properly by a Certified Payroll Specialist.
- Quarterly estimates. Paid as you go, so the filing holds no surprises.
- 1099s and year-end forms. W-2s and 1099s issued on time from books that already agree.
Books and taxes in the same hands
A preparer who has never seen your ledger starts from zero every January. When the same firm handles the monthly bookkeeping and the return, filing is a handoff, not a project. That is the whole idea behind our bookkeeping and tax package.
Tax prep starts at $90 per return, business returns are quoted after a free review, and our 2026 tax prep cost guide shows what returns run across the industry so you can see the difference for yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Do you prepare S-Corp returns for Orlando businesses?
Yes. S-Corp and partnership returns are core work here, prepared alongside the payroll that a defensible owner salary requires. Tax preparation covers small businesses, partnerships, S-Corps, LLCs, and individuals.
What do you need from an Orlando owner to file?
Last year's return, year-end payroll reports, the W-2s and 1099s you issued, any K-1s you hold, and a reconciled QuickBooks file. If the books are behind, we get them current first so the return is built on real numbers.
Do you handle quarterly estimated taxes for Orlando businesses?
Yes. Year-round planning includes quarterly estimates, so April is a filing event instead of a surprise. Owners who pay as they go keep penalties off the table and know where they stand all year.
How much does small business tax prep cost in Orlando?
Tax preparation starts at $90 per return. Business returns are quoted after a free review of your file, and the price is set before any work starts. See our tax prep cost guide for what returns run across the industry.
Do you serve businesses across the greater Orlando area?
Yes. We prepare returns for businesses throughout Orlando and Central Florida, including Winter Park, Dr. Phillips, Lake Nona, Windermere, and Baldwin Park. Everything runs remotely, with same-business-day answers.
Getting here and how far we go
Tax clients file from every county in the metro. The practice works out of south Orlando, off the Central Florida GreeneWay (SR-417) between the Beachline (SR-528) and Osceola Parkway. Three corridors define the service radius. SR-417 runs the eastern edge from Sanford and Oviedo in Seminole County down through Lake Nona into Osceola County toward Kissimmee and St. Cloud. I-4 and SR-408 carry the middle, covering Winter Park, Baldwin Park and downtown. SR-429 and Florida's Turnpike handle the western side toward Apopka, Windermere and Dr. Phillips. Because the work runs remotely through QuickBooks, distance changes the drive and not the turnaround, and questions still get an answer the same business day.
