Westfront Tax & Accounting is a CPA firm based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida that provides tax, bookkeeping, and accounting services to growing small businesses across Fort Lauderdale and South Florida. The firm lists its address as 200 S. Andrews Ave, Suite 504 #1075, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301, and its site associates the practice with Jose Cardenas, CPA, EA. Westfront positions its work as outsourced accounting that goes beyond tax compliance, describing its role as serving as a business owner’s ongoing financial co-pilot.
Services
The firm organizes its offerings into four service areas: bookkeeping services, monthly accounting services, tax planning and advisory services, and payroll services. According to the site, its bookkeeping is what the firm calls tax-smart, led by a CPA and performed on a weekly basis, covering tasks from categorizing transactions to bill payments. The firm states that bookkeeping is the foundation of a client’s taxes rather than simple data entry.
Monthly accounting services are described as turning a client’s numbers into strategy through CFO-style reporting, KPI tracking, and profit optimization. Tax planning and advisory services are presented as proactive, year-round support intended to help small businesses avoid overpaying. Payroll services cover setup and ongoing management, including contractor payments, to help clients stay compliant. The firm also addresses entity structure, offering guidance on S-Corp versus LLC decisions and S-Corp setup and optimization.
Who They Serve
Westfront states that it works best with service businesses generating $500K or more in annual revenue across Fort Lauderdale, South Florida, and statewide, and it also references serving clients in Palm Beach County and the greater Miami area. The firm names three industry specializations: creative and marketing agencies, including branding studios and paid media teams; construction and trades, including general contractors and subcontractors; and dental and medical practices. For construction clients, the firm describes acting as a construction accountant focused on keeping contractors organized.
Approach & Tools
The firm describes its outsourced accounting model as providing a CPA team at a fraction of the cost of additional in-house staff. It emphasizes keeping financials accurate and what it calls audit-ready every month, providing CFO reporting, and offering access to a CPA for client questions. Westfront outlines a defined onboarding process: a 15 to 30 minute consultation call with a licensed CPA, an assessment and custom proposal, a foundation catchup phase to bring bookkeeping, accounting, or taxes up to date (described as typically taking two to six weeks depending on complexity), and then ongoing weekly service.
The firm also offers what it calls a second opinion analysis, in which it reviews a prospective client’s books, entity structure, financial goals, and circumstances to identify risks and opportunities and delivers a written summary and proposal. The firm states that this assessment carries no commitment and is intended to provide practical takeaways rather than a sales pitch.
In describing its overall philosophy, the firm states that most small business accounting revolves around taxes but that taxes are only one facet of running a growing business. It positions its monthly offering around helping owners see beyond the numbers, understand what drives profit margins, save time on bookkeeping, and obtain strategic CFO reporting to plan and scale. The firm contrasts its model with what it describes as typical accountants who carry hundreds or thousands of clients and are too busy to analyze and work proactively with each one.
