Serving Coral Gables · Miami-Dade County
Tax Strategist for Coral Gables Business Owners
Coral Gables is one of South Florida's professional hubs: law firms and solo attorneys along Ponce de Leon and Miracle Mile, physicians and specialty practices, architects and design firms, and the Latin American regional offices of international companies.
Professionals here tend to earn well and get billed well by their advisors, yet many are still structured the way they were when they first hung out a shingle. At high incomes, structure and retirement planning decide far more of the tax bill than deductions do.
Who we help in Coral Gables
Attorneys and law firm owners
Solo practitioners and small-firm partners, where entity structure, retirement plans and the QBI limits for specified service businesses all come into play.
Physicians and specialty practices
Practice owners and 1099 physicians who can use S-Corp salary design and advanced retirement plans to shelter significant income.
Executives with side businesses
W-2 executives at regional and international offices who also consult or invest, with mixed income that needs coordinated planning.
Architects, designers and consultants
Professional-services owners whose profit has outgrown sole-proprietor taxation.
What Coral Gables owners should know
QBI limits hit professionals first
Law, health and consulting are specified service businesses. Above the annual income thresholds, the QBI deduction phases out, so salary and retirement planning matter more.
Miami-Dade and City of Coral Gables business tax receipts
Businesses operating in Coral Gables generally need a local business tax receipt from Miami-Dade County and from the City of Coral Gables.
International income and clients
Professionals serving clients abroad or working for foreign-parented companies should plan for foreign income reporting and treaty questions with their CPA.
Example: a Coral Gables solo attorney netting $300,000
As a sole proprietor, roughly $277,000 of that income is subject to self-employment tax: Social Security up to the 2026 wage base plus Medicare on all of it. Because law is a specified service business, the QBI deduction phases out at this income for many filers. An S-Corp with a defensible salary, combined with a Solo 401(k) or defined benefit plan, is usually where the real savings come from.

Coral Gables FAQs
Do you have an office in Coral Gables?
Taxpert works with Coral Gables professionals online. Your assessment, strategy analysis and CPA-ready memo are delivered digitally.
Can attorneys use an S-Corp?
Yes. Many solo attorneys and small firms use an LLC or professional entity taxed as an S-Corp, paying themselves a reasonable salary and taking the rest as distributions. Check your state bar rules on entity type with your counsel.
Why doesn't the QBI deduction help me as a high-earning professional?
Law, medicine, consulting and similar fields are specified service businesses. Above the annual income thresholds, their QBI deduction phases out, though the 2026 rules widen the phase-in range.
Will you replace my CPA?
No. Taxpert finds the strategies and gives your CPA a ready-to-implement memo with IRC citations. Your CPA still files your return.
