De Armas CPA

About De Armas CPA

Founded in 1979 by Orlando de Armas, this Miami accounting practice has spent more than four decades serving individuals and companies in South Florida, with a staff that works fluently in both English and Spanish. The site says it also acts for clients abroad, naming Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Spain, and it keeps a dedicated service line for international taxation and foreign representation. That covers entity planning for cross-border operations, tax residency questions, treaty issues, reorganisations of foreign entities and US investors buying property overseas. For newcomers it also provides business-planning support, including structure selection and licence and employer-number applications. Audits, reviews and compilations sit alongside bookkeeping, payroll and tax work. Sectors served range from medical and legal practices to import-export, real estate and hospitality. A small team of about six named staff supports the founder, alongside a team member who is both a CPA and an attorney.
