Keep Your Business Organized, Compliant, and Profitable
Running a small business, contracting service, or retail shop in New Jersey leaves little time for sorting through piles of receipts, tracking overdue customer invoices, and balancing monthly bank statements. Yet sloppy financial records lead to lost revenue, vendor disputes, and major headaches come tax season.
GJBST provides comprehensive, hands-on bookkeeping services tailored specifically for independent tradespeople, local stores, and growing enterprises in Trenton, Hamilton, and Central New Jersey. We keep your books pristine, current, and ready for your accountant.
Our mission is to give local entrepreneurs clarity over their numbers without forcing them to hire a full-time in-house administrative employee.
GJBST is not a certified public accounting (CPA) firm and does not provide audited financial statements or legal advice. We provide full-charge bookkeeping, clerical accounting, accounts receivable/payable, and invoicing management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA?
A bookkeeper manages day-to-day financial recording, invoicing, bill payments, and monthly account reconciliations so your books stay balanced. A CPA uses these reconciled books at year-end to file your corporate tax returns and perform audits. GJBST prepares clean, accurate books that save you significant money on CPA fees.
Do you work with QuickBooks or other accounting software?
Yes. We work with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Wave, and custom spreadsheet workflows depending on what best matches your company’s size and budget.
Can you help recover overdue invoices from non-paying clients?
Yes. We offer commercial accounts receivable and collections clerical assistance. We review aging reports, establish formal payment plans, and issue polite, professional reminders to help you collect money you are owed.
How do I share my receipts and statements with GJBST?
You can drop off physical paperwork at our Trenton office, upload digital PDFs to our secure portal, or email monthly statements. We handle the rest.
Can you assist with quarterly New Jersey sales tax records?
Yes. We track gross taxable sales and non-taxable revenue across all your customer transactions so that you or your tax preparer have exact numbers ready for quarterly NJ Division of Taxation filing.
