Locations / Orlando, FL

Orlando accounting for the economy that never sleeps in.

Hospitality groups on I-Drive, medical practices in Lake Nona, and the small businesses that serve 70 million visitors a year — Central Florida gets a local Xel advisor with a national bench.

Built for Orlando's economy.

Local knowledge

Orlando's economy is bigger than the parks — but it beats to their rhythm. Hospitality and tourism set the tempo; healthcare (anchored by Lake Nona's Medical City), construction, real estate, and a deep bench of small businesses fill it out. Our MetroWest office manages the seasonality, the tip compliance, and the growth.

Florida's famous "no income tax" is only half the story: there's still corporate income tax for C-corps, sales tax with tourist-economy quirks, county tangible personal property tax, and reemployment tax. The planning opportunity — especially for owners relocating from taxed states — is real, but it isn't automatic.

Find us on Piazza Grande Avenue in MetroWest, ten minutes from I-Drive. The first consultation is free.

Orlando FAQs.

Quick answers
Florida has no income tax — do I still need tax planning?
Yes: federal tax doesn't care where you live, C-corps still pay Florida corporate tax, and sales, tangible property, and reemployment taxes all still apply. Relocators also need residency documented properly to make the move stick.
Does Xel offer CPA services in Orlando?
Yes — tax preparation and planning, bookkeeping, payroll, wealth management, and insurance brokerage from our MetroWest office.
Can you handle restaurant and hotel payroll?
Tip reporting, the FICA tip credit, and high-turnover onboarding are exactly what our hospitality payroll practice does all day.
How much does a consultation cost?
The first consultation is free — a member of our team reviews your situation and talks through your options, no obligation.
Do you work with vacation-rental owners?
Yes — short-term rental taxation (including the county tourist development tax) and the federal STR rules are a core Orlando specialty.
