Staff Accountant Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a staff accountant in Florida?
Most staff accountant roles in Florida require a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. Florida does not require a state license to work as a staff accountant, though many employers prefer candidates who are actively pursuing CPA licensure through the Florida Board of Accountancy. Completing the required credit hours and passing the CPA exam strengthens your candidacy considerably, even before you hold the full license.
Which companies hire staff accountants in Florida?
Florida staff accountant roles are posted by Integrated Dermatology, Areas, and Highgate and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's mix of large healthcare systems, real estate firms, financial services companies, and publicly traded corporations keeps demand for staff accountants consistently high.
Which Florida cities have the most staff accountant jobs?
Miami, Tampa, and Orlando lead Florida for staff accountant openings. Miami's concentration of multinational corporations, financial services firms, and international real estate activity drives the bulk of demand, while Tampa's growing finance and professional services sector and Orlando's large healthcare and hospitality employers sustain strong hiring across all three metros.
Are there remote staff accountant jobs in Florida?
Yes, and more than many fields. About 35% of staff accountant openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the role involves software-based reporting rather than on-site operations. Month-end close, reconciliation, and financial reporting work are the tasks most commonly performed remotely, while roles tied to physical inventory or cash handling tend to stay on-site.
How can I get hired as a staff accountant in Florida with little or no experience?
The most direct entry path is an accounting internship or rotational program during or immediately after your degree, and large Florida employers like AdventHealth, Roper Technologies, and public accounting firms with Florida offices regularly hire new graduates into staff accountant or junior accountant roles. Positions such as accounts payable specialist, bookkeeper, or accounting clerk serve as strong lateral moves that build the general ledger and reconciliation experience hiring managers look for. Progressing toward CPA eligibility through the Florida Board of Accountancy gives candidates a measurable edge over peers with similar work history.
Where can I find and apply to staff accountant jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to staff accountant jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your background and location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
