Carolina Bookkeeping Tax & Business Services - Eden, North Carolina

They don't care about their local community, as they charge you $150 if you are caught parking in their parking lot on the weekend. The "no parking signs" are not put where you can see them once you are parked. I came in from the side and did not see them.

Once parked I walked to a local coffee shop just yards away, for less than 10 minutes. In that short amount of time my car was towed and impounded. Amazing... I thought my car was stolen, so while I was on the phone with the police walking around in panic, I noticed the sign at the end of the parking lot.

They contracted a local towing company - "Scott's Automotive" - as partners in crime. They swooped down on me almost immediately after I left my car and walked around the corner out of sight. They must just be sitting there in their tow truck, in some obscure spot, waiting for their next victim.

It should also be noted that there was a car parked right next to mine at the time. This car was still there when I came back and mine was gone. I feel like I was entrapped.

If Carolina Bookkeeping was so concerned about people parking in their lot on the weekends when they are closed, they could put up a couple of chains across the entrances, or at the very least put their signs where people can see them once parked. I believe this is all about making fast money on the backs of folks like me who come to downtown to patronize the small businesses on the weekends.

Shameful - I would not give them my business... Shameful...

We pulled into a lot that said Free Parking and parked in front of city cones thinking that we would be fine to spend time downtown and this business had our vehicle towed. We had to spend $154 to get out car back after we thought we parked in the right spot.

We were there on a Saturday and there were plenty of open spots, so there was no chance that we thought we were in the wrong place. We didn't even see the sign for No Parking until we came back to find our car because it's at such an obscure angle and looks like it even relates to an outlet road and not the parking lot.

This business does not properly mark their parking spots and prey on those that they hope miss their sign and confuse private parking with free parking. There is even a sign erected by the city indicating the historic reclamation of the parking lot in that same area. Hope something gets done about this ASAP.

Ive used Carolina Bookkeeping for 15 years for all my taxes and payroll. When I was audited several years ago by the NCDOR they handled it from start to finish and the agent couldn't find a single thing we could have done better. That really gave me confidence I was with the right outfit. The advice and counsel Ive received opening, operating, and even selling 4 separate business ventures over that time has been invaluable. I wouldn't be where I am now without them. Thanks to Wayne and the whole crew!

I have had the pleasure of working with Wayne and the staff at Carolina Bookkeeping for more than 10 years now. During this period of time our business has grown tremendously but not without its share of challenges and problems. This is where Wayne and his staff excel, financial, business and tax solutions developed by Wayne's team have proven successful at every level. Some of the many ways he has helped include:
1.) He helped reduce a tax debt from over $232,000 down to $28,000.
2.) He helped us change our legal existence to mitigate tax burdens and make us as owners better protected as well.
3.) He helped broker a deal with a new bank that resulted in us being able to secure a sizable business loan that we had been unable to secure with our current bank.
4.) He has removed all the stress out of dealing with the IRS from a business and personal perspective. He also reduced our personal obligations to the IRS significantly as well.
5.) He is an active member of our advisory board and has contributed greatly in helping us steer the company in a more profitable direction. Specifically, he has helped position us to be strong enough to acquire other companies and yet profitable enough to be attractive to companies looking to buy.

Any of these items would be reason enough to establish a business relationship with him. However, my story doesn’t end here. Wayne has become the foremost authority in this area on a little known tax code called Difficulty of Care. This tax code and its implementation by Wayne and his staff have enabled us to legally save millions of dollars in taxes over the course of our relationship. This is worth saying again he saved us MILLIONS of dollars. This one tax saving strategy is directly responsible for us being a more stable company and able to provide better care to our clients, build programs for the mental health population that increase social activity and team sports participation and reduce bullying and so many other things too lengthy to mention them all here.

I simply cannot say enough good things about this man and his company. I can honestly say partnering with Wayne and Carolina Bookkeeping was one of the smartest decisions my partner and I have ever made.

Thanks,

Shortly after opening his offices in Eden NC, Mr. Emerine and I met. After Initial discussions, Wayne’s knowledge and expertise relating to the financial side of business was immediately apparent. Shortly there after, Carolina Bookkeeping Tax & Business Services became an integral part/valued resource for my Company.
Nineteen years later and I still rely on his Company.
I highly recommend Wayne Emerine to all of my friends, colleagues, and business associates. His broad financial knowledge base is as good there is. Mr. Emerine is a problem solver and works diligently providing 100% effort for his clients.

When it comes to understanding tax laws, mergers, acquisitions, and how to operate business, Wayne Emerine is amazing. He understands how to allow business owners to use their capital to maximize efficiencies and minimize tax implications. He understands the laws and regulations that often limit business growth and how to navigate them properly.
