Accountants Now

What Accountants Now does

Accountants Now is a privately held accounting services firm headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, that delivers bookkeeping, payroll processing, business and personal tax preparation, and IRS debt negotiation services to small business owners, freelancers, and individual taxpayers. The firm was founded in 1999 and markets itself on 25+ years of combined team experience, positioning as 'Best accountants in south florida' while also offering payroll services nationwide across all 50 states at uniform pricing. Core product lines are delivered as monthly subscriptions for bookkeeping and payroll, with one-time or per-filing fees for tax services and professional-services pricing for IRS debt resolution; promotional free trials and a free first month of payroll are used to acquire new clients.

The underlying technology is a thin layer of conventional SaaS tooling rather than proprietary infrastructure: the firm integrates with third-party accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks) to support bookkeeping, uses a client self-service portal (connect.accountantsnow.com) for document exchange and employee payroll access, runs MailChimp for email marketing, Stripe for payment processing, Google Analytics for site tracking, and Calendly for consultation scheduling. No proprietary platform, AI capabilities, or API products are disclosed.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and SMB-focused: instant online quote generation, free consultations, toll-free phone sales, and SEO/content marketing via an educational blog covering tax tips, IRS guidance, and industry-specific accounting topics. The firm operates from a single Pompano Beach office with no disclosed management team, parent company, institutional investors, or external funding. Customer concentration is distributed across diverse small businesses; no enterprise anchors or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
