What we do
Accounting, tax, and advisory — set up so you can actually use the numbers.
Tax services
Individual and business returns, year-round tax planning, IRS compliance support, and audit representation. We also help clients get caught up on unfiled returns — with a clear plan and no judgment. Trust and estate tax services are coming in late 2026.
Business advisory
Entity setup, workflow guidance, cash-flow support, and strategic advice for owners who want a partner in the room — not just someone processing transactions. Some clients hire us for a single project; others keep us on all year.
The Fit Desk
We’ll tell you if we’re a match — before you spend a week on onboarding.
These are the firm’s own words about who we serve, and who might be better served elsewhere. Pick a situation. The blotter lights green when it’s a fit, amber when it isn’t.
Industry specialties
Built with law, medicine, and real estate in mind.
Law firms
Trust account reporting, partner compensation planning, and tax strategies tailored for legal professionals.
Medical practices & professionals
Specialized guidance for physicians, dentists, and practice owners — from entity structuring to income planning.
Real estate brokers & professionals
Commission tracking, entity and tax strategy, and quarterly planning for real estate professionals.
How working together works
From the first call to a year-round partnership.
- 01
Initial consultation
A conversation with no pressure and no pitch. We learn about you, your business, and the challenges you’re facing — and we both decide if it’s a fit.
- 02
A clear plan
If we move forward, you’ll get a plain-language outline of the engagement and what to expect. No confusing proposals, no vague commitments.
- 03
Onboarding & setup
We handle the heavy lifting: accounts, software, documents, and a clean foundation — whether you’re starting fresh or switching from another accountant.
- 04
Ongoing support
We stay on top of accounting, taxes, and the financial picture throughout the year. You’ll hear from us regularly, not just when something is due.
- 05
A proactive approach
If there’s something you should know, a strategy worth considering, or a deadline coming up, we bring it to you first.
Moves before December 31
Q4 is when there’s still time to act — not just time to file.
Tax preparation records the past. Tax planning happens before the year closes. The firm’s own year-end guidance for individuals, families, and business owners:
- 01
Estimate the bill before filing season
A year-end projection can show whether you’re on track for a refund or a balance due — while there’s still time to plan for the cash.
- 02
Correct withholding or estimates
Bonuses, a second job, investment income, or a stale W-4 can leave you short. The final 2026 estimated-tax installment for calendar-year individuals is generally due January 15, 2027.
- 03
Make retirement-contribution decisions
Some workplace-plan elections have to be handled through payroll before year-end. Waiting until tax season can be too late.
- 04
Review investment gains and losses
Selling before December 31 can change this year’s result. Investment decisions shouldn’t be based on taxes alone — coordinate with your tax and financial professionals.
- 05
Make charitable giving intentional
A generous gift is not automatically deductible. Qualifying organizations, documentation, and the 2026 rules for people who don’t itemize all matter before the year closes.
- 06
Check required minimum distributions
If you’re retired, confirm any RMD obligations before year-end deadlines pass.
- 07
Capture life and income changes
A raise, a sale, a new child, a move, or a side job can change the return. Q4 is when the year’s picture is clear enough to act.
Drawn from Kamish & Associates’ published Q4 tax-planning guidance. A review does not guarantee a lower bill; it helps you make informed decisions and avoid a surprise in the spring.

The firm
A boutique firm built around the people we serve.
Kamish & Associates was founded in 2020 by Zach Kamish, CPA, to serve small business owners the way they deserve to be served — proactively, personally, and with real expertise. Zach has been a licensed CPA since 2012 and is a member of the AICPA and the FICPA.
Unlike large firms where you’re just a number, we give dedicated attention to every client. We take the time to understand your business, your goals, and your challenges so the advice is actually relevant.
The firm has two offices — in Valrico and at Channelside in Tampa — and works with clients in person or virtually across Tampa Bay and beyond. Distance is not a barrier.

Questions
Straight answers about working with us.
What types of clients do you work with?
We primarily work with small to mid-sized businesses, self-employed professionals, and individuals who want proactive, year-round financial guidance. Our clients span law, healthcare, real estate, and general business services. We work best with clients who value communication, organization, and a real relationship with their CPA.
How is Kamish & Associates different from a larger CPA firm?
At a large firm, you might work with a different person every year and feel like just another file. At Kamish & Associates, you work directly with a consistent team that knows your business, communicates proactively, and treats you like a priority. We’re small by design — that’s what allows us to be responsive and genuinely invested.
Do you take on new clients year-round?
Yes. We take on new clients throughout the year. If you reach out during tax season, there may be a short wait depending on capacity, but we’ll always let you know where things stand.
Do I need to come into the office?
Not necessarily. We work with clients both virtually and in person. Many clients prefer virtual communication for day-to-day work, with occasional in-person meetings when it makes sense. We have offices in Valrico and Tampa, but distance is not a barrier.
What accounting software do you work with?
We primarily work with QuickBooks Online, but we’re flexible and can work with other platforms depending on your existing setup. During onboarding, we’ll assess what you’re using and recommend what fits your business.
Do I need to have my books in order first?
No. We work with clients at all stages — starting from scratch, behind on the books, switching firms, or inheriting a messy file. You don’t need to have everything perfect before reaching out.
Do you handle payroll?
Yes. Payroll support is part of our accounting services. We can process payroll directly or coordinate with a third-party provider, depending on what makes sense for your business.
Do you handle both personal and business taxes?
Yes. We prepare individual returns and business returns (S corporations, partnerships, LLCs, and sole proprietors), and we coordinate the two when they’re connected.
What if I have back taxes or unfiled returns?
We can help you get caught up. We’ll assess the situation, explain your options, and work through it methodically. It’s more common than you’d think, and there’s no judgment — just a plan.
Do you offer audit support?
Yes. If you receive an IRS notice or are facing an audit, we can help you understand what’s being asked, prepare a response, and represent your interests so you’re not navigating it alone.
Are trust and estate tax services available?
Trust and estate services are coming in late 2026. If you need this now, reach out and we’ll let you know where things stand and whether we can assist or refer you to someone who can.
How do I get documents to you?
We use a secure client portal for document sharing. We’ll walk you through it during onboarding. You shouldn’t have to email tax documents back and forth.
