Books that keep up with a waterfront town
Sebastian is the largest municipality in Indian River County and stretches along the Indian River Lagoon north of Vero Beach. Its working waterfront on Indian River Drive still has commercial fish houses run by longtime fishing families. Anglers come for Sebastian Inlet, history fans come for Mel Fisher’s Treasure Museum, and the city runs its own municipal airport. Shops and service businesses line US 1 and County Road 512.
Seasonal businesses earn much of their money in a few months and then wait. If the books are months behind, you can’t tell whether a slow stretch is normal or a problem. Sebastian businesses that charge sales tax also need clean records to file correctly at the 7% Indian River County rate. Monthly reconciliation keeps that simple.
