Inventor's Town, Entrepreneur's Town

Edison takes its name from Thomas Edison, whose Menlo Park laboratory once stood here, and the inventive spirit has carried forward into a remarkably diverse business community. Oak Tree Road, shared with Iselin, is lined with jewelry stores, sari boutiques, sweet shops, grocers and restaurants that draw shoppers from across the region. Route 1 and Route 27 host car dealerships, big-box retail and strip-mall service businesses. Raritan Center, one of the larger industrial parks in the state, is filled with warehouses, distributors, manufacturers and event venues. Throughout town, independent IT consultants and staffing firms serve corporate clients up and down the Turnpike.

Agile Business Accounting works with Edison businesses online and in person at our Old Bridge office.

Retail and Restaurants: Getting Sales Tax Right

New Jersey's sales tax rate is 6.625%, and most retailers file the ST-50 quarterly return, with larger sellers also making monthly remittances. Jewelry stores, apparel shops and restaurants each have specific rules. Clothing is generally exempt in New Jersey, for example, while prepared food is taxable.

We help Edison retailers:

Categorize taxable and exempt items in the point-of-sale system
Reconcile daily sales to bank deposits and card processor reports
Prepare summaries for every quarterly filing
Set aside collected tax so it is never mistaken for profit

See our quarterly sales tax service for details.

Consultants, Contractors and Corp-to-Corp Work

Edison is home to many IT professionals who run their own LLCs or S corporations and bill through staffing agencies. These one-person companies need reliable books, reasonable owner payroll and estimated tax planning. We:

Reconcile income from agencies and direct clients each month.
Run owner payroll with NJ withholding and quarterly filings.
Track business expenses such as equipment, software and certifications.
Calculate quarterly estimated payments using our free Quarterly Tax Estimator, available under the Calculator button.

Your CPA handles entity elections and signs the returns; we keep the numbers clean so that work is quick.

Payroll for Family Businesses

Many Edison shops employ relatives alongside outside staff, and owners sometimes run payroll by hand. New Jersey requires employers to withhold state income tax, make unemployment and disability contributions, file the NJ-927 and WR-30 quarterly and provide Earned Sick Leave. We handle all of it through our payroll processing service, including year-end W-2s and 1099-NECs.

Banquet Halls and Event Venues

Edison and the Raritan Center area host wedding halls, banquet facilities and event caterers that book months ahead. Deposits for a June wedding might arrive the previous autumn, and staffing swings from a skeleton crew to dozens of servers in a single weekend. We record event deposits as liabilities until the date passes, track each event's food, staffing and rental costs and reconcile final payments, so you can see the true profit on every booking and price next season's packages with confidence.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is clothing taxable in New Jersey?

Most clothing and footwear for everyday wear is exempt from New Jersey sales tax, while accessories, jewelry and certain specialty items are taxable. Boutiques often sell both, so register categories matter. We help set up your system so each item is taxed correctly and your quarterly returns match your records.

Can you help my IT consulting LLC?

Yes. We handle monthly bookkeeping, owner payroll if you have an S corporation election, quarterly payroll filings and estimated tax planning. We also organize expense records and prepare a year-end package for your tax preparer. Entity and election decisions should be confirmed with your CPA.

Do you work with businesses at Raritan Center?

We do. Distributors, manufacturers and service companies in the industrial park use us for inventory bookkeeping, payroll for warehouse teams, receivables management and insurance audit preparation. We can meet at our Old Bridge office or online, whichever is more convenient.

How fast can you set up payroll for a new employee?

If your state employer registration is already active, we can usually have payroll running within days of receiving the employee's paperwork. If you still need to register as a New Jersey employer, we guide you through the process and set everything up as soon as accounts are active.
