Bookkeeping for The Market Common Businesses
Bookkeeping, tax, and accounting for businesses at The Market Common in Myrtle Beach. Remote service from our Jacksonville, NC office.
Accounting for The Market Common
The Market Common sits on what used to be Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. Today it’s a walkable mixed-use district with boutiques, restaurants, residences, and entertainment that draws both Grand Strand vacationers and locals year-round. The businesses here operate on different rhythms than the typical Ocean Boulevard strip, with a steadier residential base alongside the seasonal tourism surge.
GMJ Accounting provides bookkeeping, tax preparation, and accounting support to owners operating at The Market Common and across the Grand Strand. We’re based in Jacksonville, NC, and most of our work happens remotely. That keeps overhead low and lets you stay focused on customers while we keep the financial side current and tax-ready.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that reflect what actually happened, not a year-end scramble to reconstruct the story.
South Carolina Sales Tax
South Carolina Sales Tax
Retail and restaurant operators carry real sales tax exposure. We handle sales tax management using TaxJar, tracking rates and filing on time so penalties don’t show up in the mail.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Behind a few months or a few years? We work through the backlog, reconcile the accounts, and bring the books current. Most clients come to us exactly that way.
Business Tax Returns
Business Tax Returns
Federal and state business returns prepared by an IRS Enrolled Agent. Because we keep the books throughout the year, the return is a clean handoff instead of a April crisis.
Market Common Businesses We Serve
The mix at Market Common runs from boutique retail and locally owned eateries to spas, salons, fitness studios, and professional offices. Each operates on its own margins and revenue cycle, but they share a need for accurate books that reflect what’s actually happening through the seasons rather than what the owner remembers a year later.
We work with owners who have outgrown handling the books themselves but don’t need a full-time accountant on payroll. If that sounds familiar, our small business accounting, bookkeeping and tax services in Jacksonville, NC are built for exactly that gap.
Boutique Retail
Boutique Retail
Clothing, gifts, home goods, specialty shops along Deville Street and Howard Avenue. We track inventory, reconcile merchant processor deposits, and keep sales tax filings current so the storefront stays the focus.
Restaurants and Cafes

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with businesses based at The Market Common?
Yes. We serve businesses at The Market Common and across the Grand Strand from our Jacksonville, NC office. Most of the work happens remotely, so the distance doesn't change the quality of service.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Full-service bookkeeping starts at $225 per month. The actual rate depends on your transaction volume and how many accounts we need to reconcile. We'll quote a firm number after a short conversation.
Do you handle South Carolina sales tax?
Yes. We manage sales tax calculation, tracking, and filing for retail and restaurant clients across South Carolina, including Horry County and the local Myrtle Beach jurisdictions.
Our business is busy in summer and slow in winter. Does that affect pricing?
We work with seasonal businesses regularly. Pricing is based on annual volume rather than a single peak month, so you're not paying summer rates in February.
My books are months behind. Can you still help?
Yes. Catch-up work is a common starting point. We sort through what's there, rebuild what's missing, and get you to a current set of books you can rely on going forward.
