Duval County and the City of Jacksonville are consolidated — making it the largest city by area in the contiguous United States. This massive geographic footprint encompasses a diverse economy anchored by logistics, financial services, healthcare, and one of the most significant military installations on the East Coast.
With JAXPORT handling over $30 billion in cargo, three major Navy installations, and corporate headquarters for companies like CSX, FIS, and Southeastern Grocers, Duval County is a major economic force in the Southeast. The county's affordability and business-friendly environment continue to attract new companies and entrepreneurs.
Whether your business is headquartered in Jacksonville or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.
The consolidated city-county and largest city by area in the US — a diverse economy spanning logistics, finance, healthcare, and military operations.
A vibrant beach community with restaurants, surf shops, professional offices, and a strong local services economy.
Jax's primary suburban commercial hub — St. Johns Town Center, corporate offices, medical practices, and the Butler/Southside business corridor.
A large suburban community in southern Duval with strong professional services, retail, and family-oriented businesses along San Jose Boulevard.
Jacksonville's hip, walkable neighborhood — indie shops, restaurants, creative agencies, and professional services in historic buildings.
Also serving Arlington, Murray Hill, Springfield, San Marco, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, and all Duval County communities.
Serving Duval County means knowing it. From the skyscrapers of downtown Jax to the warehouses of the Westside and the surf shops of Jacksonville Beach — here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the county.
Duval County's unique consolidated government — merging the city and county in 1968 — created the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States. This bold restructuring eliminated duplicative services and positioned Jacksonville as one of the most business-friendly cities in the Southeast, a reputation it has maintained for over five decades.
JAXPORT is one of the nation's busiest container ports, handling over $30 billion in cargo annually. Naval Station Mayport is the third-largest naval facility in the contiguous US, and Naval Air Station Jacksonville adds thousands more military and civilian jobs. CSX Corporation, one of the largest railroads in North America, is headquartered downtown.
Today, Jacksonville blends its logistics and military identity with a growing financial services sector — FIS (Fidelity National Information Services), Availity, and dozens of insurance companies call Jax home. The Southside/Town Center area has emerged as a major suburban commercial hub, while Riverside and San Marco attract creative businesses and startups.

“We operate a freight brokerage on the Westside near the port and our books were a complete disaster. Tides cleaned up two years of backlog, set up proper carrier and customer tracking, and now we get clean reports every month. Our accountant is thrilled.”
