Accounting and Tax Services for Landfall Business Owners
Bookkeeping, tax, and advisory services for business owners and professionals in Landfall, Wilmington. Practical financial support from a credentialed local firm.
Accounting for Landfall Business Owners
Landfall residents tend to be people who have already built something. Business owners, physicians, attorneys, executives, retirees with active investments. The accounting needs that come with that profile go beyond a basic monthly close. We provide bookkeeping, tax preparation, and advisory support that fits how these households and businesses actually operate.
GMJ Accounting is based in Jacksonville and serves clients throughout the Carolinas, including Landfall and the rest of Wilmington. Gina Bertone is an Enrolled Agent with a Master’s in Accounting and a Certified Estate Planner designation, which means tax work, business accounting, and longer-term planning can all be handled in the same conversation.

If a notice arrives or an audit opens, Enrolled Agent representation lets us respond directly to the IRS on your behalf. You hand over the letter and we take it from there.
Landfall Clients We Work With
Landfall sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and Wrightsville Beach, and the people who live behind the gates tend to be active in business across greater Wilmington. Some run companies in Mayfaire or downtown. Others operate practices or professional firms throughout New Hanover County. A few have business interests that span the Carolinas.
We work with the operating side of that life. The companies, practices, and entities that need accurate books, timely returns, and a steady point of contact. If you are looking for small business accounting, bookkeeping and tax services in Jacksonville, NC and the surrounding region, the work we do for Landfall clients is part of that practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with business owners who live in Landfall?
Yes. Many of our clients live in Landfall and run businesses in Wilmington, along the coast, or elsewhere in the Carolinas. We handle the bookkeeping and tax work so the business side stays in good shape regardless of where you spend your day.
Can you help with tax planning for higher-income households?
Yes. Gina is an Enrolled Agent and a Certified Estate Planner. We work on entity structure, timing of income and deductions, retirement contributions, and coordination with estate planning so your tax position reflects the full picture, not just last year's return.
Do we need to meet in person?
Not required. Most work happens through secure document sharing and scheduled calls. If you prefer to meet, our Jacksonville office is a straightforward drive up Highway 17, and we travel to Wilmington when it makes sense.
Can you coordinate with our financial advisor or attorney?
Yes. We regularly work alongside the advisors, attorneys, and estate planners our clients already trust. Clean books and accurate tax returns make their work easier, and we share information directly when you give us permission to do so.
How do you protect client information?
Documents move through a secure client portal rather than email attachments. Access is restricted, communication is direct, and we treat client information with the discretion you would expect from any professional working on your finances.
