Bookkeeping and Tax Help for Burgaw
Burgaw is a small town with a lot of working businesses behind it. Family-run shops along Fremont Street, contractors building across Pender County, blueberry growers and farm operations, and the professional offices that come with being the county seat. They all need accurate books, and most owners don’t have time to keep them that way while also running the business.
GMJ Accounting provides bookkeeping, tax and consulting services for Burgaw businesses. We’re based in Jacksonville and work with clients across the Carolinas. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, payroll setup, business and personal tax returns. The accounting support a small business needs without the cost of hiring full-time.

Burgaw Businesses We Work With
Pender County’s economy mixes agriculture, construction, small retail, and the service businesses that grow around a county seat. The blueberry industry alone keeps a lot of growers, packers, and supporting trades busy each season. Add in the downtown shops and the contractors working across the county, and there’s a wide range of businesses that need real bookkeeping.
Most of our Burgaw clients are owners doing between $100K and a few million in revenue. Too big to keep doing the books at the kitchen table, not yet big enough for a full-time hire. That gap is exactly what we’re built for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with businesses in Burgaw?
Yes. We serve businesses throughout Burgaw and the surrounding Pender County area. Our office is in Jacksonville, and most of our work happens remotely, so your location in town doesn't change how we deliver service.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Full-service bookkeeping starts at $225 per month. Your rate depends on your average monthly expenses and the complexity of your books. We provide a flat quote after a short conversation about your business.
Can you help if my books are years behind?
Yes. Catch-up work is one of the most common ways clients start with us. We reconstruct the missing records, reconcile accounts, and get you to a clean starting point. From there we keep you current month to month.
Do you handle tax returns too?
Yes. Gina Bertone is an IRS Enrolled Agent, and the firm handles business and personal tax returns for our bookkeeping clients. Having one team handle the books and the returns removes a lot of friction at tax time.
Do we need to meet in person?
Not required. Documents, communication, and reviews all happen remotely. If you'd rather meet in person, we can arrange that as well.
