I'm Doug Henry. My extended family lives on the island, and for over 10 years my family and I have spent as much time here as we can. Now there's an office in Ship Bottom, so you get a CPA who knows the island.
Joyce Bartlett chose Henry CPA to carry her practice forward, and I don't take that lightly. My extended family lives here, so there's a good chance I've passed you on the beach in Surf City. Joyce is staying involved with a lighter workload, so the history and relationships you've built stay with us. There's nothing you need to do right now. We'll be in touch before tax season.
The change should be easy on you. Here's what stays the same.
Appointments on LBI continue on Tuesdays, now at the Ship Bottom office at 2119 Long Beach Blvd.
Your returns are prepared and filed on time by a CPA who takes the time to understand your situation. Extensions, estimates and IRS or state notices get the same care.
Your prior returns and files stay with the practice, and Joyce is on hand to help, so nothing about your history gets lost in the move.
LBI isn't like the mainland. Income comes in seasons, homes become rentals, and many owners file in more than one state. I work best with people who want that handled right, not just handled cheaply.
Individual and family returns, retirement income and planning for the years ahead, from someone who knows the island calendar.
Short-term rentals bring NJ sales and occupancy tax, personal-use day rules, and a nonresident return if you live out of state. I keep it straight so you can keep renting.
Restaurants, shops, marinas and other seasonal businesses: books, payroll that swings with the season, and returns that reflect how the island really works.
Most of my LBI clients work with me all year, not just in April. That's how problems get caught early and opportunities don't slip by.
Individual, business and multi-state returns, plus planning before year-end, while there's still time to act.
Rental income and expenses, depreciation, occupancy tax filings and nonresident returns for owners who live off the island.
Monthly books and seasonal payroll for island businesses, so you always know where you stand.
From Barnegat Light to Beach Haven and across the causeway, I work with clients up and down the island and on the mainland.

A few things island clients ask most.
Nothing right now. Your files are with us, and we'll reach out before tax season. If you'd like to meet sooner, book a consultation or call (609) 736-9182.
No. You can meet at the Ship Bottom office, virtually, or at our Moorestown office. Many clients share documents securely and rarely need to visit.
Yes. Out-of-state owners usually need a New Jersey nonresident return, and short-term rentals carry NJ sales and occupancy tax. I handle the New Jersey side and coordinate with your home-state return.
If you want a CPA who knows the island and works with you all year, let's set up a time. I'll be straight with you about whether we're a good fit.
