AI consulting firms in Miami and Orlando: how to choose

King & Company wrote this page, and King & Company is one of the firms listed on it. Please read it with that in mind. People search for the "best" AI consulting firm in Miami or Orlando, and we do not think that firm exists, because the firms a buyer can hire here do quite different jobs. A commercial real estate brokerage that wants its lease abstracts drafted for it needs something different from an accounting firm that wants a three-year technology plan, and both need something different from a company that wants a software product built.

What follows is a list of nine firms, including ours, in alphabetical order. We opened each firm's own website on October 2, 2026, and each description uses only what that site says about what the firm offers, who it serves, and where it is. We have not ranked or scored anyone, and we have not commented on anyone's quality or pricing. The section after the list, on the questions to ask, is the part we would want a buyer to spend the most time on. It applies to us as much as to anyone else.

What is specific to Florida

Two Florida facts are worth knowing before you talk to any firm.

The first is that Florida has no general AI statute for private business. The Florida State University College of Law wrote in June 2026 that the 2026 legislative session "did not result in the adoption of a comprehensive statutory framework establishing general, cross-sector requirements applicable to most private-sector uses of artificial intelligence." For a Florida professional firm planning an AI project, that leaves the rules that already govern its data and its profession as the first ones to check.

The second is the Florida Information Protection Act, section 501.171 of the Florida Statutes. It defines a "third-party agent" as an entity contracted to maintain, store, or process personal information on behalf of a covered entity, and it requires covered entities and third-party agents alike to take reasonable measures to protect that information. If a system maintained by a third-party agent is breached, the agent must notify the covered entity no later than 10 days after determining the breach occurred. The statute also says that an agent's failure to provide proper notice is deemed a violation against the covered entity. A consultant who copies your client files into its own systems may fall under that definition, and the consequences of its mistakes can land on you. That is a good reason to ask every firm where your data will live.

Law firms have their own guidance. The Florida Bar's Ethics Opinion 24-1, issued in January 2024, addresses lawyers' use of generative AI and the duty to protect client confidentiality when using it. The opinion is advisory and written for lawyers, and it tells them to research a program's policies on data retention, data sharing, and self-learning. A brokerage, accounting firm, or fund that holds confidential client information can borrow that checklist.

What kind of help each type of firm provides

These nine firms fall into a few recognizable types. The table describes the types in general terms, and a given firm can sit in more than one row.

Type of provider	What you typically receive	Usually suits
Advisory or accounting firm with an AI practice	An assessment, a prioritized list of use cases, a roadmap, and governance	Leadership that needs to decide where to invest before anyone builds
Software development company	A product or application built to a specification	A firm that knows what it wants built and needs engineering capacity
Managed IT provider with AI services	AI deployed alongside the network, security, and business systems the provider already runs	A firm that wants one vendor for infrastructure and AI
Training and enablement firm	Workshops, bootcamps, and coaching for leaders and staff	A firm whose people need skill and confidence before a build
Forward deployed or embedded engineering firm	An engineer working inside your team and your files, building the specific workflows your people use	A firm with known, repeated work it wants rebuilt around its own documents

If the embedded model is the one you are weighing, we describe it in more detail on our page about forward deployed AI engineering firms. Brokerages and property managers may also want the page on AI consultants for commercial real estate.

How to choose: five questions to ask any firm

These questions apply equally to every firm above, including ours. We suggest asking for the answers in writing, because the differences between firms show up in the details.

Who does the building?

At some firms the person who sells and scopes the work is different from the person who does it. That is a normal way to run a firm, and it can work well, but you should know which arrangement you are buying. Ask for the names of the people who will work on your project, how senior they are, and how many other clients they are serving at the same time. Ask whether any of the work will be subcontracted or sent to a delivery team in another location, and whether you will be able to speak directly with the person writing the prompts and the code. Then ask to see something that person has built: a working tool, a live demonstration on realistic documents, or a reference who will take your call.

Where does the data live?

An AI project at a brokerage, an accounting firm, or a fund touches leases, tax workpapers, deal models, and client correspondence. Ask where that material will sit during the engagement. The cleanest answer is that it stays in systems you already control, such as your own document storage and an AI workspace on your own account, with the consultant given access like any other contractor. If the firm plans to move your documents into its own tools, ask which ones, who at the firm can see them, whether the model provider trains on your content, what is retained and for how long, and how everything is deleted at the end. Ask what the contract says about breach notification, given the duties Florida law places on third-party agents and on the firms that hire them. A firm that has thought about this will answer quickly and specifically.

Who owns the result?

There are three things to own: the work product, the means of running it, and the knowledge of how it works. Ask whether the prompts, instructions, code, templates, and documentation become yours outright at the end of the engagement. Ask whether what was built runs on accounts you hold, or on a platform the consultant operates and charges for each month. Ask what you would have to pay, and what you would lose, if you stopped working with the firm a year from now. Neither answer is wrong. A hosted product with a subscription can be the right choice for some firms. You should simply know before you sign whether you are buying a system or renting one.

How does the team get trained?

A tool that nobody on the team uses has no value, and one way that happens is that the people who do the work were not part of building it. Ask how training happens. A one-time workshop after delivery is very different from a broker or a senior accountant sitting in working sessions while the workflow is built against their own files. Ask who on your side is expected to own each workflow when the engagement ends, how much of their time the firm will need each week, and how the firm will know that person can run it without help. Ask as well where human review sits in each workflow, because the review step is what makes the output dependable enough to send to a client.

What happens after the engagement?

Models change, your templates change, and people leave. Ask what you will have in hand on the last day: documentation, a list of what was built, and a plan for what should come next. Ask whether your team can change a workflow themselves or whether every change requires the consultant. Ask what continued support costs, whether it is optional, and how long the firm expects you to need it. A good answer leaves you able to run what was built on your own, with the option to keep the firm on if that is useful to you.

A practical way to compare

Pick one real piece of work, such as a lease abstract, a client proposal, or a month-end package, and ask two or three firms how they would approach it. Compare what each would deliver, who would do it, where your documents would go, and what you would own when it is finished. That comparison will tell you more than any list, including this one. If you are comparing firms in other cities where we work, we have written the same kind of page for Boston.

Common questions

Which AI consulting firm in Miami or Orlando should a professional firm hire?

It depends on the kind of help you need. A firm that wants a roadmap should talk to a strategy practice, a firm that wants a product should talk to a software developer, and a firm that wants its own people using AI on their own work should look at training or embedded engineering. This page lists nine firms alphabetically and does not rank them.

Does Florida have an AI law that affects hiring an AI consultant?

As of June 2026, Florida had not adopted a comprehensive statute covering private-sector use of AI, according to the Florida State University College of Law. The Florida Information Protection Act still applies to personal information, and it places duties on both the firm that owns the data and any contractor that stores or processes it.

Does King & Company have an office in Miami or Orlando?

One of King & Company's two partners lives in Miami and the other lives in Boston. The firm has clients in the Miami and Orlando area, and it works inside each client's own environment.

What should we ask an AI consulting firm before signing?

Ask who will do the building, where your data will live, who owns what gets built, how your team will be trained, and what happens when the engagement ends. Ask every firm the same five questions and compare the written answers.
