Doing business in Western North Carolina.

Asheville is the seat of Buncombe County and the center of a mountain economy built on tourism, food and drink, craft and the trades. Many businesses run on a busy season and a long quiet one. Since Hurricane Helene, a lot of owners are also rebuilding, working through recovery loans, grants and insurance claims that all depend on clean records.

What we often help with here.

  • Restaurants, breweries and hospitalityA cash plan built around the tourist season and the winter slowdown.
  • Contractors rebuilding the regionJob costing, crew payroll and progress billing kept straight.
  • Makers selling in person and onlineOne set of books for markets, wholesale and online sales.
  • Owners in recoveryStatements and records ready for lenders, grant programs and insurers.
  • Local service and retail businessesClean books, a cash plan you can count on and marketing that brings customers back.

North Carolina tax and compliance notes.

North Carolina has a flat personal income tax and a corporate income tax, and corporations pay an annual franchise tax. LLCs file an annual report with the Secretary of State each spring. Sales tax combines a state rate with county rates, and many tourism businesses also collect local occupancy or prepared food taxes. General information only, not tax advice. Your CPA handles the filings, and we keep the books ready for them.
