📍 About Conway, SC

The City Behind the Business.

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.

History & Economic Growth

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.

Why Tides

Why Conway Business
Owners Choose Tides.

There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Conway — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes.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.

Built Remote — Optimized for It

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.

Flat Monthly Pricing — No Surprises

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.

Reports You Can Actually Use

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.

Your CPA Will Love You

Tax season gets dramatically easier when your books are maintained properly year-round. Most clients report lower CPA bills after working with Tides.

No Contracts. Cancel Anytime.

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.

★★★★★

"I own a boutique marketing agency in downtown Conway and my books were always the last thing I wanted to deal with. Tides completely changed that. I get a clean report every month, my accountant is happy, and I actually know what's going on in my business financially. Couldn't recommend them more."
