Apopka is a growing city in northwest Orange County, northwest of Orlando near Ocoee and Winter Garden. Long known as the indoor foliage capital of the world, it remains home to many plant nurseries and greenhouse growers, alongside expanding residential development. Wekiwa Springs State Park draws outdoor visitors nearby, and the local economy includes landscaping companies, construction trades, distribution and warehousing, healthcare, and family owned restaurants and retailers serving new neighborhoods.
Nurseries and growers in Apopka manage inventory that changes with every season, along with labor heavy payroll and weather risk, so accurate costing and cash forecasting are critical. Landscapers and contractors need job costing and equipment tracking, and distributors need clean inventory controls. PSG provides reliable monthly bookkeeping, and our fractional CFOs build crop and job margin reporting, cash plans, and lender packages for growing Apopka businesses.
Florida has no state individual income tax, but C corporations pay a state corporate income tax, and sales tax applies statewide with county surtaxes on top. Businesses with employees register for state reemployment tax and track sales by county.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Apopka companies through a dedicated team that is entirely US based, combining Big Four accounting experience with years of operating experience across industries. Your team closes the books on a regular schedule, works inside the accounting tools you already use and looks at your numbers the way an operator would, not just a bookkeeper.
Typically bank and card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll support, Florida sales tax tracking and monthly financial statements you can act on. Growing companies can add fractional CFO support for forecasting, budgeting and cash planning.
Usually when decisions start to outgrow the books: raising capital or bank financing, opening a new location, making key hires, tightening margins or preparing for a future sale. A fractional CFO adds forecasting and strategic guidance without the cost of a full time executive.
We also work with businesses in Ocoee, Winter Garden, Altamonte Springs, Orlando and Sanford.

“If you want to sleep better at night, hire Phoenix Strategy Group.”

“PSG and David Metzler structured an extraordinary M&A deal during a very chaotic period in our business, and I couldn't be more pleased with our partnership.”

“PSG saved my dream. They helped us get our financials in order and renegotiate our lending agreements, pulling us through a tough financial crunch.”

“As our fractional CFO, they accomplished more in six months than our last two full-time CFOs combined. If you're looking for unparalleled financial strategy and integration, hiring PSG is one of the best decisions you can make.”

“Hire PSG if you want to make your life easier and have accurate data.”

“As a home service business owner, understanding complex financials and Unit Economics always seemed overwhelming—until we started working with Phoenix Strategy Group.”

Hi! I'm Sam, a financial leader who's managed operations from startups to $40M enterprises.
I've led licensing deals with Disney, Marvel, and Viacom, while overseeing products across 35,000 retail stores. Through SHK Financial, I've helped 15+ high-growth companies succeed, including recovering $2M in receivables for a major client and rebuilding a $10M ARR company's accounting system in 6 months. Now, as Chief Accounting Officer at PSG, I oversee 50+ revenue streams and help launch many successful 8-figure businesses.
My journey started uniquely - while studying finance at Fresno State, I taught both chess and accounting to students, teaching me that success in finance, like in chess, is all about strategic thinking and seeing several moves ahead.
