GSF Group

What GSF Group does

GSF Group LLC is a privately held Certified Public Accounting and business consulting firm headquartered at 433 Plaza Real #351 in Boca Raton, Florida, operating under Managing Partner Glen Ferguson, a Florida-licensed CPA since 1992 with over 25 years of experience in accounting and tax for small to medium-sized businesses. The firm delivers a unified suite of professional advisory services spanning four pillars: business financial services (financing assistance, financial/inventory/cost control and credit studies, accounting system creation, and budget/forecast development), personal financial planning (education financing, home purchase planning, estate and retirement planning, loan and credit assistance, savings and investment strategies), tax advisory (short- and long-term tax liability reduction, compliance assurance, estate and inheritance tax mitigation, and income tax return preparation), and technology consulting (recommendation, installation oversight, and training for accounting and business software).

The firm serves two primary customer segments on a horizontal segmentation basis: small-to-medium-sized businesses (primary) requiring tax compliance, business planning, financial management, and financing access, and individual clients (secondary) seeking personal tax preparation and life-event financial planning. Services are delivered through direct client engagement at the Boca Raton office, supported by phone and email channels, with go-to-market relying on direct outreach, personal referrals, and the Managing Partner's professional affiliations with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA).

Revenue is generated through professional services fees structured around engagement scope and complexity; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates without external institutional investment, parent company affiliation, public listing, or disclosed funding, and appears to be a founder-owned closely-held LLC. The technology footprint is limited to standard third-party accounting and tax preparation software tools supplemented by the firm's technology consulting advisory service, with no proprietary platform, API, software product, or mobile application. Geographic scope is regional within Florida, with no global footprint or multi-state expansion disclosed.

Direct peers

• Cherry Bekaert: Top-30 U.S. CPA and advisory firm with a strong Southeastern U.S. footprint, offering tax, assurance, and consulting services to middle-market businesses and individuals — directly comparable offerings and SMB focus.
• Kaufman Rossin: One of Florida's largest independent CPA and advisory firms, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, offering tax, accounting, business consulting, and wealth advisory services to SMBs and high-net-worth individuals in the same South Florida market as GSF Group.
• Berkowitz Pollack Brant: South Florida-based CPA and advisory firm serving closely-held businesses and high-net-worth individuals with tax, assurance, and wealth management services; directly comparable in geography, client profile, and service mix.

Others

• Edward Jones: National personal financial advisory firm with a branch-based model serving individuals and small businesses; provides some overlapping services with GSF Group's personal financial planning practice, though not tax preparation or CPA services.
• Ameriprise Financial: Diversified financial services company providing personal financial planning, investment advisory, and wealth management to individuals — overlapping with GSF Group's personal financial planning offerings but not a direct competitor for tax compliance services.

Broad incumbents

• BDO USA: Top-5 global accounting network with Florida offices, targeting middle-market companies with tax, audit, and consulting services; overlapping capabilities but operating as part of a much larger, internationally diversified portfolio.
• Marcum LLP: Top-15 national accounting firm with significant Florida presence, providing tax, advisory, and audit services to middle-market clients; competes for the same SMB and HNW client base but at substantially greater scale and service breadth.
• Jackson Hewitt: Franchise-based tax preparation network serving individual taxpayers; operates in the same retail tax-preparation market as GSF Group's individual segment but with a mass-market, seasonal model rather than a year-round advisory practice.
• RSM US: Leading mid-market-focused global audit, tax, and consulting firm with U.S. offices including Florida; comparable in serving middle-market businesses with tax and advisory services, but at significantly larger scale.
• H&R Block: Mass-market tax preparation chain with national retail presence; competes for individual and small business tax clients at the lower end of the market GSF Group addresses, but with a retail rather than bespoke advisory model.
