  • Working virtually across Florida
  • Mon–Fri 10–7 ET
  • Billed in U.S. dollars
  • Written scope and fixed quote first

Is this you?

However far behind, it’s the same job: rebuild the books, get the returns filed in the right order, and keep it current afterwards if you choose.

What does a catch-up include?

The books and the business tax return for each outstanding year. One engagement, not three vendors: anything else that’s behind is added to the same written quote, so one team coordinates the work.

What’s included, per outstanding year

  • The books rebuilt for one 12-month business year, in QuickBooks Online or Xero
  • The accounts identified in your proposal reconciled
  • A year-end profit and loss statement and balance sheet
  • One federal corporate return, Form 1120 or 1120-S (up to two shareholder K-1s in the simple entry package)
  • The Florida corporate income tax return (F-1120), where it’s required and included in the agreed scope. Not every S corporation needs one.

Added to the same written quote when they’re behind too

  • Payroll records rebuilt, and overdue payroll returns
  • W-2 and 1099 preparation or corrections
  • Overdue Florida sales tax returns, and the records behind them
  • Owners’ personal returns
  • Other states or entities
  • Complex inventory, payment-processor or shareholder-account records
  • Sunbiz annual reports, or help with reinstatement
  • Substantive replies to notices, and arranging professional representation when it’s needed

If payroll, sales tax or other filings are also behind, we’ll include the agreed work in your written quote.

Not offered: audits, reviews or other attest work; businesses that file only on a personal return; tax-debt settlement or collection defense.

Two steps · the second is optional · all prices in U.S. dollars

What does a Florida catch-up cost?

Step 1 · Catch-up bookkeeping + business tax filing

From US$2,500 per outstanding year

A starting guide for one company and one year. Your fixed quote depends on transaction volume, accounts, record condition and the filings needed.

Each outstanding year includes the books, the year-end statements and the business tax return listed above.

If payroll, sales tax or other filings are also behind, we’ll include the agreed work in your written quote.

See the starting guide by annual revenue

Step 2 · Optional: stay caught up

From US$349 a month

Monthly bookkeeping in three plans: Essential from US$349, Growth from US$499 and Established from US$749 a month, sized by your monthly transactions and accounts. No contract; cancel any time.

Annual business tax preparation is quoted separately. We confirm the fee and included returns in writing. Compare the monthly plans

  • Written scope and fixed quote before work begins
  • No obligation after the free call
  • Nothing is filed without your signature

Taxes, penalties, interest and government fees (such as Sunbiz fees) are separate: your company pays them directly. All prices in U.S. dollars. Prices as of September 30, 2026.

Payment and timing

Payment terms are in your proposal. Nothing is charged before you approve it. Timing depends mostly on how many years are behind and how quickly the records come in. Anything with a deadline, such as the reply date on a letter or a lender’s closing date, is scheduled first, and your proposal sets out the timeline for your file before you approve anything.

What does waiting cost?

Most late-filing penalties are charged for each month a return is late, so the amount depends on how long it stays unfiled. Here’s how each one is calculated.

S corporation (Form 1120-S)

$255 per shareholder for each month or part of a month late, up to 12 months, for a return required to be filed in 2026 ($260 for returns due in 2027; older years use lower amounts), even when no tax is owed.

Worked example

$255 × 2 shareholders × 12 months = $6,120

For one S corporation return due in 2026, filed 12 or more months late.

C corporation (Form 1120)

5% of the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month late, up to 25%. More than 60 days late, the minimum is $525 or the tax due, whichever is less (returns due in 2026). In a month when the late-filing and late-payment penalties both apply, the combined charge is 5%.

Florida corporate income tax (F-1120)

10% of any unpaid tax for each month or part of a month late, up to 50%. With no tax due, $50 a month, up to $300.

Florida sales tax (DR-15)

Each late return can carry a penalty of 10% of the tax, at least $50 even when no tax is due, plus interest on unpaid tax.

Florida annual report

Corporations and LLCs pay a $400 late fee after May 1. A company that still hasn’t filed by the third Friday of September is administratively dissolved.

Filing stops the late-filing penalty from growing. The late-payment penalty and interest keep running until the balance is paid in full, even on a payment plan.

How does a catch-up work, start to finish?

In four stages: a free 15-minute call, a written scope and fixed quote, the catch-up and filings, then optional monthly bookkeeping so it doesn’t happen again.

  1. Free 15-minute call

    You tell us what’s outstanding and what the IRS or the state has sent; we explain how we’d get you caught up and keep you there. There’s no obligation to hire us afterwards.

  2. Written scope and fixed quote

    The work for each outstanding year, the price, payment terms, the records we’ll need and a timeline. Nothing starts, and nothing is charged, until you approve it.

  3. Catch up and file

    Anything with a deadline goes first. Then the books and returns are done oldest year first, because each year’s closing balances feed the next. Nothing is filed until you approve and sign it.

  4. Stay caught up, if you choose

    Optional monthly bookkeeping from US$349 a month, with the same team that caught you up. Annual business tax preparation is quoted separately. We confirm the fee and included returns in writing.

What records do you need?

Bank and card statements for the open years are enough to start. You don’t need to sort receipts.

Missing receipts are common and usually workable; you’ll get an honest view of what can be supported and what can’t.

  • Bank and credit card statements for the open years
  • Payroll reports, if you run payroll
  • The last business tax return that was filed
  • Any letters from the IRS or the Florida Department of Revenue
  • The EIN confirmation letter, if it’s handy
  • The company’s Sunbiz document number
  • QuickBooks Online or Xero access, if you use either

Who does the work, and who signs your returns?

The Cayde team

Rebuilds and reconciles the books, prepares the workpapers and runs the process from first call to final filing.

Independent U.S. tax professionals

Your federal and Florida business returns are reviewed, signed and filed by independent U.S. tax professionals after you approve them: e-filed wherever the IRS accepts it, and on paper for older years. Their name and IRS preparer tax ID (PTIN) appear on every return they sign. You sign each return, or its e-file authorization, before it’s filed.

If your company needs a professional to represent it before the IRS, that’s the job of an attorney, a CPA or an enrolled agent. We’ll tell you on the call if your situation needs one and arrange it; it may be a separate engagement.

Why a virtual catch-up works anywhere in Florida

A catch-up runs on records, not office visits. Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern. Billed in U.S. dollars. Your U.S. returns are signed by independent U.S. tax professionals.

Your records

  • Your books stay in your software: you add us as a user in QuickBooks Online or Xero and can remove that access at any time.
  • Scope and fixed quote agreed in writing first.
  • Files are shared securely; where they’re stored is in the privacy notice.
  • Nothing is filed without your signature.

The team

One team. One job: getting you caught up.

Cayde is a growing team that works virtually with corporations across Florida. Everyone on it is trained in catch-up and clean-up work, and the same team stays on your file from the first call to the final filing.

Led by founder Brian Catibog: nearly 20 years in accounting, tax and finance, including helping set up a U.S. manufacturing company’s tax, payroll and sales tax from the ground up, then doing its filings and payroll and dealing with the IRS and state tax authorities. The team does the bookkeeping and the workpapers. Returns reviewed, signed and filed by independent U.S. tax professionals.

Meet the team

Who does Cayde help, and who isn’t a fit?

Who we help

Florida C corporations (Form 1120), S corporations (Form 1120-S) and LLCs taxed as either, one to five or more years behind on their books and business tax returns. Not sure how your LLC is taxed? Choose “Not sure how it’s taxed” on the form. Owners’ personal returns are done only alongside a corporate catch-up.

Who we don’t

  • Businesses that file only on a personal return (Schedule C)
  • Personal returns on their own
  • Audits, reviews or other attest work
  • Tax-debt settlement, levies, liens or Offers in Compromise

Questions Florida owners ask first

Anything else? Email info@caydetax.com, or ask on your free call.

How much does Cayde charge to catch up a Florida S corporation that’s one year behind?

From US$2,500 per outstanding year for the simple entry case: one Form 1120-S, with up to two shareholder K-1s. The lowest starting price fits a simple, low-volume active company: under US$100,000 in annual revenue, up to 50 bank and card transactions a month on average, up to two bank or card accounts, statements available, and no substantial payroll, sales-tax or inventory reconstruction. Beyond that, the starting guide gives a starting price by that year’s own revenue, and your fixed quote, in writing after the free call and before any work begins, depends on transaction volume, accounts, record condition and the filings needed. Taxes, penalties, interest and government fees (such as Sunbiz fees) are separate: your company pays them directly. All prices are in U.S. dollars.

What if the business is three to five years behind?

It’s a bigger project, but the same one. Anything with a deadline goes first; then the books and returns are done oldest year first, because each year’s closing balances feed the next. Each outstanding year is priced on its own revenue and activity, and your free call and written quote confirm each year individually.

Does Cayde file late Form 1120 and 1120-S returns?

Yes. Each outstanding year of a catch-up includes the books rebuilt for that year and its Form 1120 or 1120-S, plus the Florida F-1120 where it’s required and in the agreed scope. Your federal and Florida business returns are reviewed, signed and filed by independent U.S. tax professionals after you approve them: e-filed wherever the IRS accepts it, and on paper for older years. Their name and IRS preparer tax ID (PTIN) appear on every return they sign.

Do LLCs qualify?

Yes, if the LLC is taxed as a corporation: one that elected S corporation status files Form 1120-S, and one taxed as a C corporation files Form 1120. A business that files only on the owner’s personal return (Schedule C) isn’t a fit. Not sure how yours is taxed? Choose “Not sure how it’s taxed” on the form.

Who does the work, and who signs the returns?

The Cayde team rebuilds and reconciles the books and prepares the workpapers. Your federal and Florida business returns are reviewed, signed and filed by independent U.S. tax professionals after you approve them: e-filed wherever the IRS accepts it, and on paper for older years. Their name and IRS preparer tax ID (PTIN) appear on every return they sign.

Is Cayde a CPA firm?

No. Cayde Accounting & Tax is a bookkeeping and tax firm; in Florida, bookkeeping and tax return preparation don’t require a CPA license. Cayde doesn’t do audits, reviews or other attest work, and refers anyone who needs one to a CPA firm.

How long does a catch-up take?

Timing depends mostly on how many years are behind and how quickly the records come in. Anything with a deadline, such as the reply date on a letter or a lender’s closing date, is scheduled first, and your proposal sets out the timeline for your file before you approve anything.

Do I need every receipt?

No. Bank and card statements for the open years are enough to start, and most books are rebuilt from them. Missing receipts are common and usually workable; you’ll get an honest view of what can be supported and what can’t.

How does a virtual catch-up work?

A catch-up runs on records, not office visits. Cayde works virtually with corporations across Florida by phone, video and secure file sharing, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern, and bills in U.S. dollars. Your U.S. returns are signed by independent U.S. tax professionals.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

It’s optional, and there are three plans for current books and ordinary activity: Essential from US$349, Growth from US$499 and Established from US$749 a month, depending on your monthly transactions and accounts. Above those limits, or for materially complex books, it’s a custom quote. All prices are in U.S. dollars.

No contract; cancel any time. Your company pays for its own QuickBooks Online or Xero subscription, so the file stays in your company’s name. Annual business tax preparation is quoted separately. We confirm the fee and included returns in writing. Compare the monthly plans.

What if the IRS needs someone to represent the company?

If your company needs a professional to represent it before the IRS, that’s the job of an attorney, a CPA or an enrolled agent. We’ll tell you on the call if your situation needs one and arrange it; it may be a separate engagement. Penalty relief can be requested by you or an authorized representative; first-time abatement usually covers one year and needs a clean prior three years. For 2025 and later returns, the IRS applies similar relief automatically when the prior three years were filed and paid on time.

Does Cayde do personal returns?

Only alongside a corporate catch-up, added to the same written quote, because your personal returns are tied to the company’s through salary, distributions and money moved between you and the company.

What is Cayde’s U.S. service?

Cayde Accounting & Tax is a bookkeeping and tax firm that works with corporations across Florida by phone, video and secure file sharing, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern. The Cayde team rebuilds and keeps the books, and independent U.S. tax professionals review, sign and file the federal and Florida returns. Cayde is not a CPA firm and does not perform audits, reviews or other attest work.
