Bookkeeping for Washington contractors.

• Tax and entity context

  Washington levies no personal income tax, so the individual side is simple for owners taking pass-through income. In its place the state applies a Business and Occupation tax on gross receipts rather than on profit — which means it is owed on revenue whether or not the job made money. That makes accurate revenue classification unusually important here.

• Season and demand

  Mild, wet winters and comparatively cool summers west of the Cascades keep cooling demand low and heating demand steady rather than extreme. Persistent rain drives roofing repair and moisture-related work year round.

• The market

  Strong technology-driven growth around Puget Sound with high labour costs, alongside a very different market east of the mountains with a genuine continental climate.

We work with contractors across Washington, including Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver and Bellevue. Everything runs remotely and through scheduled calls, so where you are in the state makes no difference to how quickly you get answers.
