Pasco County
Accountant Serving Land O' Lakes, Florida
Soham Accounting works with individuals, families, and small businesses across Land O' Lakes and Pasco County. The practice is based one county north in Spring Hill and serves Pasco clients remotely, which for this kind of work makes no practical difference.
Remote does not mean thinner. Documents come in by secure upload, the return is reviewed with you on a video call, and signatures are electronic — the same process our clients in other states use, and quicker than a drive to an office.
Working in Land O' Lakes
A county that grew faster than its businesses planned for
Pasco has been among Florida's faster-growing counties for over a decade, and the effect on small business is specific: trades, home services, and healthcare practices that started as one person with a van are now running payroll for six people and have never formalised their bookkeeping. The compliance obligations arrive before the administrative capacity does.
The Pasco surtax rate is its own
Florida levies no personal income tax, but it does levy sales and use tax with a discretionary surtax set county by county. Pasco applies its own rate, and for goods the applicable rate generally follows the delivery address rather than where the seller sits. A Pasco business shipping across the county line is applying more than one rate, and getting that wrong accumulates quietly across a lot of small transactions.
Wesley Chapel and the corridor
The growth along the I-75 corridor brought a concentration of professional households and new small businesses into what was semi-rural Pasco. That mix produces the two kinds of work this practice does at once: equity compensation and multi-state questions on the individual side, and formation, payroll, and sales tax on the business side.
Books that were never set up, only accumulated
The most common first conversation with a Pasco business is not about tax at all. It is that the books have been a bank feed and a shoebox for three years, the categories have drifted, and nobody is confident what the business actually earned. That has to be fixed before a return means anything, and it is ordinary work rather than a crisis.
Wesley Chapel professional household, RSU cost basis overstated
A couple in the Land O’Lakes area both work for Tampa employers. One vests restricted stock units annually and sells a portion each year to cover the tax.
Their broker reported the sale with no cost basis, which overstated the gain by the full vested amount — income already taxed through payroll. The prior two years were filed the same way.
What gets filed: Current return corrected for the RSU basis, the two prior years reviewed and amended, and a standing instruction set up so the basis is captured at vest rather than reconstructed each spring.

Common questions
Are you located in Land O' Lakes?
No — the practice is based in Spring Hill, one county north in Hernando. Pasco clients are served remotely: secure document upload, video meetings, electronic signature, and online payment. For tax work that makes no practical difference, and it is how clients in other states are served too.
Can you handle a return with income in more than one state?
Yes, and it is routine work here. Florida has no personal income tax, which helps — but it does not end an obligation to a state you moved from, or one where you own a rental. Each state applies its own residency and sourcing rules, and they do not always agree with each other about who gets to tax what.
Do you handle Pasco County sales tax?
Yes — registration, returns, nexus review, and surtax configuration. Pasco applies its own discretionary rate, and businesses shipping across county lines apply the destination rate rather than their own. That is a common and quietly accumulating source of exposure.
Can you take over books that are behind?
Yes, and it is a common starting point. Catch-up bookkeeping is scoped separately from ongoing work: the periods are reconciled and the chart of accounts is rebuilt so the numbers are trustworthy, then monthly work continues from a clean base.
