Accounting Support for Whiteville Businesses
GMJ Accounting provides bookkeeping, tax, and advisory work for small businesses in Whiteville and across Columbus County. We handle the monthly recordkeeping, reconciliations, tax preparation, and reporting that keep a business organized and ready when deadlines come around.
We’re based in Jacksonville and offer small business accounting, bookkeeping and tax services in Jacksonville, NC and surrounding communities. Working remotely means Whiteville business owners get the same attention and quality without paying for in-person overhead they don’t need.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Categorizing transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, closing the books each month. You get reports you can actually use to make decisions instead of a folder of receipts and a sinking feeling.
Catch-Up Work
Catch-Up Work
If your books are months or years behind, we handle the cleanup. Catch-up bookkeeping is project based and built around how far behind you’ve fallen. Once you’re current, monthly service keeps it that way.
Business Tax Returns
Business Tax Returns
Federal and state returns prepared with the records we’ve maintained throughout the year. No scrambling in March, no missing receipts, no last-minute guesswork. Returns get filed on time and accurately.
IRS Representation
IRS Representation
Gina is an IRS Enrolled Agent. If a notice shows up in the mail or an audit gets opened, we handle the response and represent you directly. You don’t have to deal with the IRS on your own.
Whiteville Businesses We Work With
Whiteville is the kind of place where businesses are run by people who know their customers by name. Family-owned shops on Madison Street, contractors working jobs across Columbus County, healthcare offices near the hospital, trucking outfits running freight along the 74/76 corridor. The work is steady but the bookkeeping side often gets pushed off.
Most of the owners we work with didn’t start their business to spend nights in QuickBooks. They want their numbers right, their taxes filed properly, and someone they can call when a question comes up. That’s what we do.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
Builders, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, and general contractors working in and around Whiteville. We handle job costing and the financial tracking that helps you bid accurately and know which jobs actually made money.
Medical and Dental Practices
Medical and Dental Practices
Local clinics, dental offices, and therapy practices around Columbus Regional Healthcare. We manage insurance receivables, patient balances, and the revenue timing issues that make healthcare bookkeeping different from a typical service business.
Restaurants and Retail
Restaurants and Retail
Family restaurants, cafes, and downtown shops. We track daily sales, food and labor cost, sales tax, and the cash flow patterns that come with thin margins and busy weekends.
Trucking and Logistics
Trucking and Logistics
Owner-operators and small fleets running freight along US-74/76. We handle fuel and mileage tracking, equipment depreciation, settlement reconciliation, and the records you need at tax time.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Do you handle IRS notices?
Yes. Gina Bertone is an IRS Enrolled Agent, which means she's federally licensed to represent clients before the IRS. If you receive a notice or face an audit, we can handle the communication and response on your behalf.
