Campbell Accounting Solutions

Celebrating 40 Years!

Campbell Accounting Solutions, LLC Created A Well-Versed Team That Continues To Move The Business Forward

Campbell Accounting Solutions, LLC was William (Bill) E. Campbell’s idea that came to life in 1983. He rooted the business in one room of a real estate company with one desk, one chair, a phone book, a phone, and a computer. There was no social media back then and word of mouth was the only way to go unless you had the budget for fancy newspaper ads, and he did not. His family stepped in as needed, direct mail was his friend, and he was soon able to hire real employees. Clients were always considered family and treated as such. That tradition will forever carry on. By 1992, his daughter, Elizabeth (Betsy) Campbell was working in the office on a part-time basis. Bill required that she learn the business from the bottom up, so she started in the file room and had to work her way to an actual office. Together they grew Campbell Accounting Solutions (CAS), bouncing ideas off of one another and implementing change necessary as technology improved. In 2003, a startling diagnosis of pancreatic cancer for Bill turned their personal lives upside down and put plans for the business on the fast track. Future plans became current plans and with very little knowledge from staff and friends, the business was completely turned over to Betsy as Bill suffered through treatments, holding on for one more day, one

more week, one more month with his family. On April 21, 2004, Bill lost his battle with pancreatic cancer but made it through his 21st Tax Season as the firm’s owner. Although Betsy was no stranger to the business, she certainly had some very big shoes to fill. She worked hard to maintain existing clients, bring in new clients and create a team that could work together and move the business forward together. The team is all cross-trained and each member has a specialty assigned to them that they continually research and stay current on changes that may impact clients. The goal is to have a well-versed team that can help a large variety of clients. The current team consists of nine women of varying ages, backgrounds, and personalities. Chances are, they have the right team member ready to work with you! The firm specializes in monthly accounting services to businesses in the Pee Dee and surrounding areas. That includes data entry, production of profit and loss statements and balance sheets, bank reconciliations, preparation of sales tax, and processing payroll and related reports. Additional services include elder care, non-profit work, LLC/S corporation set ips, assistance with the IRS and state agencies, and personal and business returns in all states. There is secure technology in place allowing documents to be scanned or emailed. Conference calls and Zoom calls are offered as well as good old-fashioned face-to-face meetings. Team members can remote in and work from home when the need arises. CAS found that they had to be flexible and in tune with a wider variety of ways to reach their customers and continue working at their high pace when Covid struck. During that time, many hours were donated to clients with the hope of keeping them afloat during the shutdown. Thankfully, most of the monthly clients did indeed make it through the shutdown and are stronger than ever. As CAS celebrates its 40th Anniversary in business they look forward to continuing long-term, active relationships with its clients. The CAS team strives to make sure you have the best possible accounting experience that you can. Often quoted as saying “We put the fun in accounting,” seeing the firm itself you quickly realize they are right. They worked hard to have a calm, relaxed interior resembling the inside of one’s home. They speak in terms everyone can understand and genuinely want to help you with your business and tax needs. The team is down to earth and interacts easily with anyone who walks through the door. Their door is open for anyone, no matter how big or how small. They want you to be part of their family.
