Serving St. Johns from St. Augustine
St. Johns is the fastest-growing part of the fastest-growing county in Florida, and the client base reflects a constant inflow of new residents.
Relocating professional families, remote executives, and a wave of new home-service and construction businesses formed to serve the growth itself.
What we focus on for St. Johns clients
New-resident tax planning and Florida domicile documentation, first-year business formation and entity election, quarterly estimated-tax setup for newly self-employed owners, and QuickBooks setup done properly from day one.
Every engagement starts the same way: we take the time to know and learn more about you and your business, so that we can help you earn more money and save more money in the long run. Whether you are near Durbin Park, CR 210 and Bartram Trail or elsewhere in St. Johns County, the work is the same — accurate books, a return that is right, and a plan for the year ahead.
Why St. Johns clients work with an Enrolled Agent
Ashley J. Trimboli is an IRS Enrolled Agent — the highest credential the IRS awards — and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with public accounting experience since 2002. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants, have unlimited practice rights: unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before.
Practically, that means one person can prepare your return, plan the following year, represent you if the IRS has questions, and keep your retirement and estate planning pointed in the same direction. For a St. Johns household or business, that is usually the difference between a filing service and a working relationship.

St. Johns FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve clients in St. Johns?
Yes. Oldest City Financial Consulting, LLC works with individuals and businesses throughout St. Johns and the wider St. Johns County area. We are based in St. Augustine and work with many St. Johns clients remotely — documents, reviews and planning conversations can all be handled without a drive. Call (904) 501-4345 to get started.
What financial services do you offer in St. Johns?
All six of our services are available: Chief Financial Officer Services, Bookkeeping, Tax Preparation, Tax Planning, Retirement Planning and Estate Planning. Bookkeeping and CFO Services cover the day-to-day — reconciliation, payroll, QuickBooks, cash flow and budgeting — while tax preparation, planning, retirement and estate work handle everything downstream of that.
What tax issues come up most often in St. Johns?
New-resident tax planning and Florida domicile documentation, first-year business formation and entity election, quarterly estimated-tax setup for newly self-employed owners, and QuickBooks setup done properly from day one.
Do I need to travel to St. Augustine if I live in St. Johns?
No. Many St. Johns clients work with us entirely remotely — documents, reviews and planning conversations are all handled without a drive. If you would rather meet in person, call (904) 501-4345 and we will arrange it.
Is an Enrolled Agent as qualified as a CPA for my taxes?
For tax matters, yes — and the credential is federal rather than state-issued. Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants, have unlimited practice rights: unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before.
Does Florida charge state income tax on St. Johns residents?
No. Florida imposes no personal income tax and no state estate or inheritance tax. That makes federal planning the entire game — and makes the year you establish Florida domicile particularly important if you moved here from a state that does tax income. We handle both the final return in your former state and the planning that follows.
