More than 30 years of doing the numbers right
I have more than 30 years of experience. I started Elite Accounting Services to give business owners, churches, nonprofits, and families one place to get their books kept, their taxes prepared and their payroll run, by an accountant who picks up the phone.
The businesses I work with are growing. They have outgrown the spreadsheet, or the owner is doing the books at night and losing sleep over it. The churches and nonprofits I work with have a volunteer treasurer or administrator, designated funds to keep straight, staff to pay and a board that wants a plain report. The individuals I work with want a return prepared right and a plan for next year.
I am based in Greenville, North Carolina, and I serve eastern North Carolina in person. Because the work moves through a secure client portal, I also work in the cloud with business owners all over the country. Wherever you are, the promise is the same: you run your business, I will handle the rest.

What I Stand For
Five words the firm is built on, and the ones I go back to when a call gets hard.
Trust
You are handing someone your finances. That is a form of trust, and it is treated that way: private, careful, and never taken for granted.
Expertise
An accountant with more than 30 years of experience does the work. The numbers you see are the numbers that are real.
Community
Greenville and eastern North Carolina are home. The businesses, churches, and nonprofits here are neighbors, not account numbers.
Ethics
The return is right, the books are honest, and if something should not be done, you hear that plainly.
Efficiency
Documents move through a secure client portal, deadlines are tracked, and you get answers without chasing them.
