Bookkeeping in Summerville, GA
Getting Set Up in Summerville
In Summerville, city business licenses come from the City Clerk's office at City Hall, 120 Georgia Avenue. If you're opening a food service business, there's a step before that: the Chattooga County Health Department has to issue a food service permit before the city can issue your license. Banners need their own permit, through the city's codes enforcement officer. And if you're selling alcohol, that's a separate license from the same City Clerk, renewed annually.
Requirements change. Confirm with the city or county before you rely on this.

If You're Behind
Most people who call us are behind, and most of them think they're the only one. Getting you current is a one-time fee, quoted for the period you're behind, and it's separate from your ongoing monthly price. You get both numbers before anything starts.
You don't have to clean anything up first. Catching up before you call doesn't save you money — anything already entered still has to be verified, and verifying is slower than starting fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a business license in Summerville?
Yes, inside the city limits. It's issued by the City Clerk at City Hall on Georgia Avenue. Food businesses need a Health Department food service permit first, before the city will issue the license.
Do you have an office in Summerville?
No. We're based in Rome, Georgia, and the practice is virtual — that's deliberate, not a limitation. Your books don't care where you are, and neither do we. If you'd rather talk face to face, the free consultation is a thirty-minute Zoom call.
What does it cost?
Monthly service starts at a $500 per month floor, and most clients pay more than that. What moves the number is how many bank and credit card accounts we're reconciling and how many transactions run through them. If you're behind, there's a separate one-time cleanup fee. You'll know both numbers before we begin.
Thirty minutes on Zoom. Nothing to drive to.
