Proof from our construction brand

Real US-based contractors. Same team, same operational discipline that we now bring to gas stations. Construction is a different vertical - but the muscle (multi-stream books, cost reconciliation, niche specialization) is the same one stations need.

"They didn't just record transactions and call it a day. They built a custom chart of accounts around how a remodeling company actually runs, did a full catch-up on years of bookkeeping inside QuickBooks Online, and now stay on top of my monthly bookkeeping and payroll."

Oniel Campbell Oniel Campbell
Founder, Moonz Contracting

"Sahil and his team have been handling the bookkeeping and job costing for my painting business. They've done a great job cleaning up my books, using integrations to give me accurate, timely job costing and solid weekly data. Reliable, and the team is very detailed."

Dalton Mayberry Dalton Mayberry
Owner, ProperCoat Painting

"They rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up, with real job costing, WIP, and retainage."

Carl Moore

Owner, Hearth & Haus

"They set the accounts up properly first, then cleaned up everything I never entered."

Rolian Rolian
Owner, Overtime Electric

"When I came to them I had no financial structure in place at all. No job costing, no WIP tracking, books were behind, no real way to tell if any job was actually making money. They came in, did a full cleanup, and set up job costing and WIP tracking inside QuickBooks."

Clay Pearson Clay Pearson
Owner, C. Pearson Contracting Corp

The Fort Lauderdale market

What it takes to keep Fort Lauderdale station books clean

Port Everglades' dual role as a fuel-terminal hub and major cruise port, plus a large winter snowbird population, shape this market, from Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas out to Wilton Manors, Plantation, Pembroke Pines, and Hollywood. I-95, I-595, and Florida's Turnpike converge here, driving heavy Broward County traffic. A market this seasonal, sitting on top of one of South Florida's primary fuel terminals, is exactly where fuel distributor accounting proves its worth - tracking Florida's layered fuel tax and the 7% Broward County sales tax the same way in July as in January.

Daily books

Gas Station Bookkeeping in Fort Lauderdale

Clean books start with daily work. Our gas station bookkeeping in Fort Lauderdale reconciles POS to bank across cash, credit, debit, and fleet cards every day, matches fuel to your jobber statements, and keeps every transaction categorized - so you're never looking at numbers that are 30 days old.

We work directly in your QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage file from your CStoreOffice, PDI, SSCS, or Petrosoft exports - no migration, no on-site visit, just accurate FL-compliant books and an on-time monthly close.

Every revenue stream gets its own line - fuel, merchandise, car wash, lottery, ATM, and whatever else runs through your registers - so nothing gets blended into a single number you can't act on. You get a one-page owner report every month, plus Accountant-ready financials your outside accountant or tax preparer can use at filing time without asking you to explain your own books first.

The store side

C-Store Accountant in Fort Lauderdale

As your C-Store Accountant in Fort Lauderdale, we handle the store side most fuel accountants ignore - category-level merchandise margins, foodservice and deli cost, multi-category sales tax, and lottery, ATM, and money-order activity.

  • Florida has no state personal income tax, but does levy a 5.5% corporate income tax on C-corp station entities - most LLCs and S-corps pass income through and avoid it, so entity structure matters.
  • Florida's motor fuel tax is layered - a state fuel tax, the SCETS tax, and county-level local option fuel taxes stack together, and the exact combined per-gallon rate varies by county.
  • Fort Lauderdale's combined sales tax is 7% - 6% state plus a 1% Broward County surtax.
  • Port Everglades is one of the primary petroleum import and fuel-distribution terminals for all of South Florida - most of the region's gasoline and diesel moves through its tanker and pipeline infrastructure, giving Fort Lauderdale stations a uniquely direct supply chain to track.
  • Port Everglades is also one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is a major low-cost carrier hub - both driving heavy tourist and rental-car fuel demand.
  • Fort Lauderdale has one of the largest snowbird populations in Florida, with a major seasonal population swing each winter as Northeast and Midwest retirees relocate temporarily - different seasonality than Orlando's school-break tourism or Miami's cruise schedule.
  • I-95, I-595, and Florida's Turnpike converge in Fort Lauderdale, driving heavy commuter and commercial traffic through Broward County.

About FuelCFO

Your Petroleum Accountant Fort Lauderdale

FuelCFO is a petroleum accountant Fort Lauderdale by focus, not by accident. We don't also do restaurants and law firms - we do fuel retail and convenience stores, every day, which is how we know wet stock variance, jobber credits, prepaid fuel tax, and per-grade COGS cold.

That focus means Fort Lauderdale owners get an accountant who already speaks their language: Gilbarco and Verifone, CStoreOffice and PDI, WEX and Comdata, fuel excise and multi-category sales tax. No ramp-up, no explaining your business - just clean books and clear numbers from month one.

We work remotely with station owners nationwide - one location or fifty, branded or unbranded - so Fort Lauderdale owners get the same dedicated team every month, not a rotating pool of generalist bookkeepers. That consistency is what lets us catch a shrinking fuel margin or a missed jobber credit before it costs you real money, instead of finding it months later at tax time.
