Bookkeeping, Payroll and CFO Services in Pembroke Pines, FL

Pembroke Pines is one of Broward County’s largest cities, with more than 170,000 residents in 2023 according to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, and a business community shaped by that population: medical and dental practices, retail centers, restaurants, home service companies, education and logistics. The Alliance lists Memorial Healthcare System, Broward College, Ryder, Elizabeth Arden and Publix among the city’s major employers, and notes that Pembroke Pines has one of the lowest property tax rates of Broward’s 31 municipalities. The Gabb Group helps the owner-run businesses serving this community keep accurate books, run payroll and plan their growth.

Businesses We Serve in Pembroke Pines

Medical and Dental Practices

Practices carry complex revenue: insurance reimbursements, patient payments, financing plans and memberships, all arriving on different schedules. We reconcile it all in your monthly books, run payroll for clinical and front-office staff, and build reports that show production and collections by provider. For patient payments, credit card processing through our partner USA Payments can cut what you pay with Square and Stripe by up to half, and recurring billing handles payment plans and memberships automatically.

Retail and Restaurants

Pembroke Pines’s shopping centers and restaurants run on card volume and tight margins. Our retail processing and restaurant processing lower the cost of every sale, and our inventory management ties product costs to sales so you know your real margins.

Home Service Companies

A city of homeowners keeps plumbers, electricians, HVAC companies, landscapers and pool services busy. We set up job costing so every job shows its true profit, mobile payments so technicians collect on site, and maintenance agreements billed automatically.

Growing and Established Companies

For businesses ready for more than bookkeeping, our fractional CFO services add budgeting, forecasting and KPI reporting, and our capital advisory work prepares you for a line of credit, equipment financing or an SBA loan through our partner Asenta Capital.

Requirements for Pembroke Pines Businesses

• City Local Business Tax Receipt. The City of Pembroke Pines issues its receipt from City Hall at 601 City Center Way, and commercial businesses also need a Certificate of Use. The receipt year runs October 1 to September 30. Details are on the City’s Local Business Tax Receipt page.
• Broward County receipt. Issued by the Broward County Tax Collector after the city’s, for every business including home-based ones.
• Sales tax at 7%. Florida’s 6% plus Broward’s 1% surtax, which applies to the first $5,000 of a single item.
• Florida filings: the LLC annual report by May 1, sales tax returns and reemployment tax once you hire. Our sales tax compliance service keeps them on schedule.

Questions We Hear Most in Pembroke Pines

“Collections don’t match production.” For medical and dental practices, the gap is usually in insurance adjustments, denied claims or patient balances not followed up. Monthly reconciliation shows exactly where revenue is being lost.

“How many technicians can we afford to add?” For home service companies, job costing by technician and a forecast of next season’s demand answer that with real numbers.

“Our margins on retail items are thinner than they should be.” Product costs entered correctly in the point of sale, and processing fees tracked separately, usually reveal why.

Education, Childcare and Family Services

A city of families supports tutoring centers, childcare providers, after-school programs, sports academies and family service businesses. They share a pattern: tuition and fees collected monthly or by term, staffing tied to enrollment, and cash that dips during school breaks. Recurring billing collects tuition automatically by card or ACH, our payroll scales with enrollment, and a month-by-month forecast plans for summer and holiday breaks. Clean books also make it easier to apply for the grants and programs these businesses often rely on.

Starting a Business in Pembroke Pines

New owners here often start from home before opening a location, and both paths need the city and county receipts. Our starting a business page walks through every step, from forming the LLC on Sunbiz to opening a business bank account and registering for sales tax, and our startup bookkeeping setup gets the books right from day one.

Local Connections

The Miramar Pembroke Pines Regional Chamber of Commerce serves businesses across both cities. Broward County’s Office of Economic and Small Business Development and the Florida Small Business Development Center at FAU, with its Broward office in Davie, support local small businesses.
