Proof from our construction brand

Real US-based contractors. Same team, same operational discipline that we now bring to gas stations. Construction is a different vertical - but the muscle (multi-stream books, cost reconciliation, niche specialization) is the same one stations need.

"They didn't just record transactions and call it a day. They built a custom chart of accounts around how a remodeling company actually runs, did a full catch-up on years of bookkeeping inside QuickBooks Online, and now stay on top of my monthly bookkeeping and payroll."

Oniel Campbell Oniel Campbell
Founder, Moonz Contracting

"Sahil and his team have been handling the bookkeeping and job costing for my painting business. They've done a great job cleaning up my books, using integrations to give me accurate, timely job costing and solid weekly data. Reliable, and the team is very detailed."

Dalton Mayberry Dalton Mayberry
Owner, ProperCoat Painting

"They rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up, with real job costing, WIP, and retainage."

Owner, Hearth & Haus

"They set the accounts up properly first, then cleaned up everything I never entered."

Rolian Rolian
Owner, Overtime Electric

"When I came to them I had no financial structure in place at all. No job costing, no WIP tracking, books were behind, no real way to tell if any job was actually making money. They came in, did a full cleanup, and set up job costing and WIP tracking inside QuickBooks."

The Wayne market

What it takes to keep Wayne station books clean

Heavy Route 23/I-80 commuter traffic, William Paterson University, and NYC-commuter fill-up patterns shape this market, spanning Totowa, Pompton Lakes, Oakland, Franklin Lakes, Lincoln Park, and Pequannock. New Jersey's 49.1¢/gallon combined fuel tax - the highest in state history - and a flat 6.625% sales tax sit on top of a competitive, high-volume northern New Jersey market. Wayne owners need outsourced accounting gas station owners can trust, not a generalist accountant treating a station like any other small business.

Daily books

Gas Station Bookkeeping in Wayne

Clean books start with daily work. Our gas station bookkeeping in Wayne reconciles POS to bank across cash, credit, debit, and fleet cards every day, matches fuel to your jobber statements, and keeps every transaction categorized - so you're never looking at numbers that are 30 days old.

We work directly in your QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage file from your CStoreOffice, PDI, SSCS, or Petrosoft exports - no migration, no on-site visit, just accurate NJ-compliant books and an on-time monthly close.

Every revenue stream gets its own line - fuel, merchandise, car wash, lottery, ATM, and whatever else runs through your registers - so nothing gets blended into a single number you can't act on. You get a one-page owner report every month, plus Accountant-ready financials your outside accountant or tax preparer can use at filing time without asking you to explain your own books first.

The store side

C-Store Accountant in Wayne

As your C-Store Accountant in Wayne, we handle the store side most fuel accountants ignore - category-level merchandise margins, foodservice and deli cost, multi-category sales tax, and lottery, ATM, and money-order activity.

  • New Jersey's combined gas tax reached 49.1¢/gallon on January 1, 2026 - the highest in state history - after the Petroleum Products Gross Receipts Tax rose 4.2¢ under the state's statutory Highway Fuel Cap law.
  • New Jersey does not use a prepaid sales tax on motor fuel like Illinois - gasoline is exempt from the state's general sales tax, and the Petroleum Products Gross Receipts Tax stands alone as the fuel-specific charge.
  • New Jersey's sales tax is a flat 6.625% statewide - no county or municipal add-on in Wayne, which simplifies the rate but not the accounting itself.
  • New Jersey's top individual income tax rate is 10.75% (on income over $1,000,000) - the 4th-highest top rate in the country, relevant to entity planning for Wayne station owners.
  • Route 23 interchanges directly with I-80 and US-46 in Wayne, a high-traffic commuter and commercial corridor bringing heavier weekday fuel volume than a typical suburban town.
  • A campus and a major regional shopping corridor both anchor steady, non-commuter foot and vehicle traffic near Wayne stations, on top of the Route 23/I-80 through-traffic.
  • Wayne sits in the New York City commuter shed, so many Wayne stations see sharp AM/PM fill-up patterns tied to Manhattan and Newark commutes rather than purely local traffic.

About FuelCFO

Your Petroleum Accountant Wayne

FuelCFO is a petroleum accountant Wayne by focus, not by accident. We don't also do restaurants and law firms - we do fuel retail and convenience stores, every day, which is how we know wet stock variance, jobber credits, prepaid fuel tax, and per-grade COGS cold.

That focus means Wayne owners get an accountant who already speaks their language: Gilbarco and Verifone, CStoreOffice and PDI, WEX and Comdata, fuel excise and multi-category sales tax. No ramp-up, no explaining your business - just clean books and clear numbers from month one.

We work remotely with station owners nationwide - one location or fifty, branded or unbranded - so Wayne owners get the same dedicated team every month, not a rotating pool of generalist bookkeepers. That consistency is what lets us catch a shrinking fuel margin or a missed jobber credit before it costs you real money, instead of finding it months later at tax time.
