Meet Joseph F. Fragnoli, CPA — President & CEO

Joseph F. Fragnoli is a CPA licensed in Florida and the President and CEO of Advance Accounting & Tax Solutions, Inc. He has spent 42 years in public accounting — first licensed in California in 1984 — and the last thirteen of those in independent practice, working directly with the clients whose returns he signs.

He attended UCLA and California State University, Fullerton, graduating from CSUF with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting. Four decades on, the through-line of the practice is the same: tax compliance and planning, tax resolution work when things have gone wrong, start-up and entity guidance, and the bookkeeping and accounting that everything else depends on.

Advance Accounting & Tax Solutions was created deliberately to hold the work that falls outside traditional CPA-firm services. It is co-owned with Patricia Alcantara, and it does not perform financial statement preparation or the reporting that goes with it. That is not a limitation so much as a decision about focus — and where a client genuinely needs a CPA firm, there is one.

The firm works with closely held corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and individuals — businesses generally running between $200,000 to $20,000,000 in annual revenue. Based in Ave Maria and serving Fort Myers, Naples, and the surrounding Southwest Florida communities, the practice also supports clients across the country remotely, including multi-state filers and owners who relocated to Florida but kept operations elsewhere.
