Bookkeeping Services in Seattle,WA
No cookie-cutter solutions. We provide 100% personalized bookkeeping and accounting services.
A few years ago, I met a plumber named Mike in Seattle. He was great with tools, not so great with numbers. He kept his receipts in a shoebox, paid bills late, and dreaded tax season like it was a horror movie. Mike said, “I didn’t become a plumber to stare at spreadsheets.” That stuck with me.
We built this business for people like Mike.
We help small business owners across Seattle get back to doing what they’re good at—while we handle the books.
Why Small Business Owners Need Bookkeeping Service (Even If They Don’t Want It)
Let’s face it: No one wakes up excited about bookkeeping. Most small business owners would rather focus on growth, innovation, or even just keeping the lights on than obsess over categorizing expenses as “advertising” vs. “professional fees.” But here’s the reality—clean books are non-negotiable when tax season rolls around.
The IRS doesn’t care if bookkeeping feels tedious. What they do care about is accuracy, compliance, and timely tax filings. And if your financial records are a mess? You risk penalties, audits, and unnecessary stress. That’s where professional bookkeeping becomes your secret weapon.
We’re not some faceless accounting firm. We talk to you like real people. We ask questions like:
- What’s stressing you out?
- Are you behind on taxes?
- Is QuickBooks making your head spin?
Then we fix it.
Seattle, WA Bookkeeping — Helping Local Businesses Get Their Time Back
Seattle’s busy. From Ballard to Rainier Beach, small business owners are working nonstop. We’ve helped coffee shops in Capitol Hill, construction contractors in West Seattle, and even a dog groomer in Queen Anne who hadn’t touched her books in six months.
We know Washington tax laws, B&O rules, and what it takes to keep your books clean. If you’re in Seattle and need bookkeeping, we’ll handle it without making it complicated.
No corporate speak. No nickel-and-diming. Just clear answers and clean books.
We’re Bookkeepers. Not Robots
You ever email someone a bookkeeping question and get a response that might as well be written in code? Yeah, we don’t do that.
We explain things in plain English. You’ll know:
- What you’re making
- What you’re spending
- What you owe
- And what to do next
We use tools like QuickBooks, Xero, and spreadsheets—but we don’t expect you to know them.
We’ll show you only what you need to see.
You’ll never have to ask, “Wait, what does that mean?”
Accountant — Yep, We Do That
Sometimes folks ask, “Do y’all do accounting too?” Yep, we do.
Accounting’s just a fancier way of saying we make sure your numbers tell the right story. We keep your books tight and your money in the right place.
Our accounting services cover:
- Year-end financials
- Profit & loss tracking
- Clean-up for past years
- Help before a loan or grant
We’ve helped a barber shop in Portland, OR clean up three years of books before applying for a business loan. And they got it.
Accounting Firm for Small Business — But No Suits or Ties
We’re not like those big firms that charge you $200 just to say hi. We’re small business folks too. We’ve had late nights and tight budgets. That’s why we work on flat monthly plans. You always know what you’re paying.
We help:
- Solo workers and freelancers
- Family-owned stores
- Startups and nonprofits

You don’t need to be big to get help. You just need to be tired of the stress.
Financial Consultant — When You Need Help Making Money Decisions
Some clients start asking questions like:
“Should I hire another person?”
“Can I afford to upgrade equipment?”
“Why do I have cash but no profit?”
That’s when we put on the Financial Consultant hat.
We break things down: what you’re really earning, where money’s leaking, and how to grow without guessing.
It’s not about fancy reports. It’s about straight talk.
We’re Local… and Nationwide
