What does outsourced accounting include?
| Level | What we do | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Bookkeeping | Record and reconcile transactions each month | Owners who want accurate books |

We add payroll and business tax preparation at any level.
Why do Portland businesses outsource accounting?
- One firm covers the books, payroll and the tax returns, so figures match across all three
- The team covers vacations and turnover, so the close still happens
- We track Portland, Multnomah County and Metro SHS business taxes (Metro SHS from $5 million in gross receipts, 2026), TriMet payroll tax and the Oregon Corporate Activity Tax
- You add CFO time for a hiring, borrowing or sale decision, without a full-time hire

We price the monthly fee on five factors.
- The level of support

The light end is a single entity on bookkeeping level with payroll for a few people. These are the factors, not a quote.
