Bookkeeping and Tax for Piney Green Businesses

Bookkeeping, tax, and accounting services for small businesses in Piney Green. A Jacksonville-based firm serving Onslow County.

Bookkeeping for Piney Green

GMJ Accounting is based in Jacksonville and provides bookkeeping, tax and consulting services for small businesses across Piney Green. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll setup, tax preparation, and the back-office work that keeps a business running without pulling the owner away from customers.

Piney Green sits right between Jacksonville proper and Camp Lejeune. That location shapes the businesses here. Service companies catering to military families, contractors working on housing and commercial projects, restaurants and shops along Piney Green Road. Different work, same need for accurate records and a clear picture of where the money is going.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, financial statements delivered each month. Full-service bookkeeping that keeps your records ready for tax season instead of scrambling in March.

Catch-Up Work

If your books are months or years behind, we sort through the history, reconstruct what’s missing, and bring everything current. Most clients start with catch-up before moving to monthly service.

Business Tax Returns

Federal and state returns prepared with all required schedules. Gina is an IRS Enrolled Agent, so if a notice or audit shows up, you have someone who can represent you directly.

QuickBooks Setup and Training

If you want to keep handling some of the bookkeeping yourself, we configure QuickBooks Online for your business and train you on how to use it properly. No more guessing at categories.

Piney Green Businesses We Work With

The businesses in Piney Green tend to be smaller operations that grew out of an owner’s skill or trade. A contractor who started taking on his own jobs. A family that opened a restaurant. A spouse running a service business while their partner is stationed at Lejeune. The common thread is owners who know their craft well and need someone else to handle the accounting side.

We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to several million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping, not big enough to justify a full-time hire on staff.

Contractors and Trades

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general contractors working on residential and commercial jobs around Onslow County. We handle job costing, track materials and labor by project, and keep the books ready for lender or bonding requests.

Restaurants and Food Service

Local spots along Piney Green Road and Western Boulevard run on thin margins where food cost and labor cost decide whether the month works. We handle daily reconciliation, tip reporting, and the numbers that matter for restaurant and bar accounting.

Service Businesses

Auto repair, lawn care, cleaning, pest control, home services. Lots of routes, lots of small transactions, lots of receipts. We sort through it all and deliver financials you can actually use.

Military-Family Owned Businesses

Spouse-owned shops, veteran-run companies, and side businesses that have grown into the main thing. We work around deployments, PCS moves, and the realities of running a business in a military community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you actually local to Piney Green?

Yes. Our office is on Ellerbe Court in Jacksonville, just a few minutes from Piney Green Road. We know the area and the businesses that operate here, including the ones serving Camp Lejeune families.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Full-service bookkeeping starts at $225 per month. The exact price depends on your transaction volume and what your books look like when we start. We give you a flat monthly quote after a short conversation.

Can you help if I'm behind on my books?

Yes. Catch-up work is a big part of what we do. We sort through whatever you have, get the records current, and then move you into monthly service so it stays that way.

Do you handle business taxes too?

Yes. Gina is an IRS Enrolled Agent with a Master's in Accounting. We prepare business tax returns, handle IRS notices, and work on tax strategy through the year so April is not a surprise.

Do we have to meet in person?

Only if you want to. Most clients prefer remote work because it's faster. If meeting in person matters to you, our Jacksonville office is a short drive from anywhere in Piney Green.
