GMJ Accounting is based on Ellerbe Court in Jacksonville, so Onslow County is home for us. We provide bookkeeping, tax and consulting services to small businesses across the county, from operations near Camp Lejeune to coastal businesses in Sneads Ferry and Swansboro to shops and offices throughout Richlands and Holly Ridge.
Onslow County has a business mix that reflects its geography and its connection to the Marine Corps. Contractors who serve the base. Restaurants and retail along Western Boulevard and Lejeune Boulevard. Coastal hospitality and fishing-related operations. Service companies supporting military families. Each one has different bookkeeping needs, and we’ve worked with most of them.

Onslow County Businesses We Support
The county supports a wide range of small business activity. Camp Lejeune drives a steady demand for trades, services, and retail. The coastline brings seasonal restaurants, charter operations, and rental management. Jacksonville itself has a strong base of medical offices, professional services, and family-owned shops that have served the area for years.
We work with owners doing roughly $100k to a few million in annual revenue. Operations that have grown past the spreadsheet stage but aren’t ready to hire a full-time bookkeeper. That’s where we fit in.
