Bookkeeping Services in Tacoma for Startups & Businesses
Washington has no income tax but charges B&O tax on gross receipts, and Tacoma levies its own local B&O on top, so a business here can owe tax on revenue while running at a loss.
Profitjets tracks gross receipts by B&O classification and by jurisdiction, so state and city returns are both built from reconciled records rather than estimated.
What our bookkeeping services in Tacoma cover
Built around how Tacoma businesses are actually taxed and reported.
B&O classification tracking
Revenue tracked by B&O classification, where rates differ by activity.
City & state B&O
Gross receipts tracked for both Tacoma's local B&O and the state return.
Monthly reconciliations
Bank, card, and merchant accounts reconciled monthly.
Destination sales tax
Sales tracked by delivery location under Washington's destination-based rules.
Payroll coordination
Payroll categorized and reconciled into your books.
Financial statements

Taxed on revenue, before any costs
B&O applies to gross receipts, not profit, and different activities are taxed at different classification rates. Getting the classification right is where the money is.
A dedicated team
The same people every month, so nobody is relearning your business.

Reconciled monthly, so filings are a review rather than a rebuild.
Your software

Flat monthly fee
Quoted up front, with no hourly billing or surprise invoices.
