About Us

Hi, I’m Amy Jacobs, EA, owner of Island Tides Accounting, LLC.

I am an EA with over 25 years of accounting and tax experience in multiple industries, including construction, real estate, retail, and small restaurants. My heart is in helping small business owners hand off the financial details so they can get back to what they do best…run their business!

In my downtime, you’ll find me on the beach reading a book, or in the stands cheering on my NC State Wolfpack and my son’s Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.  Football is my favorite sport and it’s the only reason I’m excited about summer ending and fall beginning!

Let Us Help:

Dear Friend,

It’s one thing to manage a business; it’s quite another to grow it. If you’re reading this, you know what I’m talking about (and you’re probably looking for business advising insights to help you do it).

It seems like the books are being handled properly. It seems like payroll is (mostly?) under control. It seems like the IRS is okay with how we’re handling our taxes. It seems like the financial reporting is in place.

We’re flush … most of the time. But we’re certainly not growing. We’re not prospering.

What are we missing?

This is a common story that we hear when we first start talking to business owners. The boxes are checked; the people are in place … but the fact is, they’re not quite sure how to optimize the financials for performance and growth.

Our specialty is in reading between the lines of the systems, the softwares, and the financial statements to see the true financial story being told … even when the reports all “seem” okay (for now).

The fact is that the Federal Government would love to have more of your business’s hard-earned money in their accounts. Your employees probably don’t care about cost control as much as they should. Your sales team might need to focus their efforts in a new direction.

But you don’t have to hand more dollars over to the government than they require just because you don’t know their rules as well as they do. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety over the state of your books. The future of your business doesn’t have to be a question mark.

Let’s get a real-time reading on your business’s financial health with our business advising services. Answer a few questions below to get started.
