Tides Bookkeeping provides remote bookkeeping, payroll support, and monthly financial reporting for Conway business owners who'd rather focus on running their business than managing their books.

With its live-oak-lined historic downtown, the Waccamaw Riverwalk, and a steady influx of new residents drawn to the Grand Strand, Conway, SC is home to thousands of small businesses — from local restaurants on Main Street to contractors, real estate investors, healthcare practices, and professional service firms serving the booming Myrtle Beach economy.
That growth creates opportunity — and financial complexity. Business owners in Conway need clean books, clear cash flow visibility, and a partner who can keep up with them as they scale.
As the seat of Horry County — one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation — Conway sees steady small business formation year after year.
From Main Street restaurants to coastal contractors and Grand Strand tourism vendors — Conway's economy spans nearly every industry we serve.
Low taxes and easy US-501 access to Myrtle Beach make Conway an attractive home base for small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Conway is more than a zip code — it's one of South Carolina's oldest river towns and the seat of fast-growing Horry County. Understanding its neighborhoods, roads, history, and economy is how we serve our clients better.
Founded in 1732 as Kingston and later renamed for Gen. Robert Conway, Conway is one of South Carolina's oldest towns. It grew on the banks of the Waccamaw River as a center for the timber, naval-stores, and tobacco trades — and its live-oak-lined historic downtown still reflects that heritage.
Today Conway serves as the inland government, education, and healthcare hub for the booming Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand tourism economy, just 15 miles up US-501. The historic downtown and the Waccamaw Riverwalk anchor the city, while Coastal Carolina University and a steady stream of new residents continue to fuel its growth as the seat of one of the fastest-growing counties in the country.
That growth means more small business owners than ever — and more small business owners who need clean books to grow with confidence.
Seven core bookkeeping services, all delivered remotely — designed specifically for the pace and complexity of Conway's growing small business economy.

There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Conway — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes. Tides was built differently.
We're not a local firm that went remote reluctantly. We were built remote-first from day one, which means faster delivery, better systems, and no overhead passed to you.
One flat rate based on your transaction volume. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no "extra work" fees. You know exactly what you're paying every month.
We don't just hand you a spreadsheet. Clean, readable reports with plain-language summaries — so you can make real business decisions from your financials.
Tax season gets dramatically easier when your books are maintained properly year-round. Most clients report lower CPA bills after working with Tides.
We earn your business every month. No lock-in agreements, no early termination fees. If we're not delivering, you can leave. That keeps us sharp.
All plans include monthly P&L, balance sheet, bank reconciliation, and dedicated support. Payroll bookkeeping support available as an add-on.
