An accounting firm for Greenville

Greenville is the seat of Pitt County and its most populous city, with 87,521 people counted in the 2020 census. East Carolina University sits here, along with ECU Health Medical Center and the Brody School of Medicine that teaches inside it. Pitt Community College is close by, and the Tar River runs along the edge of town. Our office is on East Fire Tower Road in 27858, so Greenville is home base for us.

Work in this city gathers around two anchors, the hospital system and the university. Around them sit the businesses that keep the place running: medical practices and their suppliers, contractors putting up housing, restaurants and shops in Uptown, and the manufacturing, pharmaceutical and food and beverage plants on the outskirts. Owners here tend to be busy in a way that pushes bookkeeping to Sunday night.

Elite Accounting is an accounting firm run by a CPA right here in town. Mike Hayes has more than 30 years behind him and is a Ramsey Trusted Tax Pro. We keep the ledger current, file the returns, run payroll, and read the letter when the IRS sends one. If you are in Greenville you can sit across a desk from us, and everything also works through the client portal when you would rather send documents from the truck.

Bookkeeping in Greenville

A Greenville contractor framing houses out past Fire Tower Road needs job costing that tells the truth about each job, and a shop in Uptown needs sales tax filed on time. We cover both. Our bookkeeping includes the general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, bank and credit card reconciliations, sales tax reporting and filings, and QuickBooks setup or cleanup. Financial reports come monthly, quarterly or yearly, whichever fits how you make decisions.

Tax Services in Greenville

Plenty of households in Greenville have a paycheck from the university or the hospital on one side and a business on the other. That mix makes a return more complicated than it looks. We prepare business returns and individual returns for every filing situation, keep quarterly estimated payments on schedule, and handle IRS correspondence when it arrives. Tax planning and year-end projections happen before December, not in April.

Payroll in Greenville

A dental practice with six employees and a restaurant with twenty hourly staff run payroll very differently, and both are common here. We do full-service payroll processing, direct deposit and paystubs, new hire reporting, payroll tax filing and payments, and W-2 and 1099 preparation at year end. If a workers compensation audit comes back with questions, we help you answer them. QuickBooks payroll setup and support is part of the service.

Church Accounting in Greenville

Greenville churches carry every duty an employer carries, plus a few of their own. Giving has to be tracked, designated funds have to stay separate from the general fund, and the board needs reports it can read without an accounting degree. We apply the same bookkeeping, payroll and tax work to a church that we apply to a business. Being in town means a treasurer can hand off records without mailing anything.
