Accounting for Small Businesses in SC & NC

We specialize in supporting small business owners in various industries, including restaurants, nonprofits, medical, construction, automotive, retail, and more. Our clients typically generate between $500K and $15M in annual revenue, allowing them to invest in expert financial services that save time, reduce costs, and alleviate the stress of managing finances internally.

Driven by a passion for local businesses, we focus on building personal relationships and primarily serve clients in Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina, where we can meet in person and provide tailored support.

Finding the Right Fit

We may be a good fit if …

  • Your business is thriving, and you want to optimize your financial strategy
  • You want to take a proactive approach to your finances and tax strategy
  • You’re seeking year-round guidance and support from your accountant
  • You want to save money on taxes with expert advice
  • You’re frustrated with feeling behind on your financial direction
  • You want to have a responsive accountant that you can trust for ongoing questions
  • Your current accountant is unable to provide the level of service you need

We may not be a good fit if …

  • Your business is facing a financial crisis
  • You’re completely satisfied with your current tax accountant
  • You’re looking to keep your bookkeeping fees as low as possible
  • Your business is small enough that you are comfortable managing your own finances
  • You don’t require ongoing financial advice or have specific questions

We serve as one team: When you partner with Stokes & Company, you’re not hiring an individual accountant-you’re gaining a whole team of experts committed to your success.

Our Objective

Our goal for your small business is to be able to approach your finances proactively. We work with clients year-round for monthly bookkeeping and regular tax planning, so you can maximize tax savings and uncover valuable insights. We want you to feel at ease about your finances (yes, it’s possible!) and be able to comfortably take a vacation and unplug from your business from time to time. Whether you’re eager to grow, improve your profitability, or prepare for a sale, our talented and experienced team can help you take your business where you want to go.
