CPA Services for Yakima Small and Mid-Sized Businesses
We provide bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation for businesses in Yakima and the surrounding area. Our work keeps financial records accurate, filings current, and operations running without constant interruption from accounting issues.
Bookkeeping
Most businesses can’t afford to fall behind on reconciliations, but many do—especially when the person handling it is also managing operations, sales, or hiring. We take over monthly bookkeeping so your accounts stay current and your financial reports reflect what’s actually happening. This includes transaction coding, bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable tracking, and monthly close procedures.
We work in QuickBooks Online and can bring existing records up to date before maintaining them on an ongoing basis.. If your books are behind or inconsistent, we’ll clean them up first, then maintain them going forward. You get accurate financials when you need them, not after the quarter has already closed.
Payroll
Payroll processing sounds routine until you’re dealing with multi-state employees, tip reporting, garnishments, or a worker’s comp audit that doesn’t match your records. We process payroll on whatever schedule your business requires—weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly—and handle tax deposits, quarterly filings, year-end forms, and compliance updates.
If you’re currently managing payroll in-house or through a platform that requires too much manual correction, we can take it over mid-year without disrupting your pay cycles or tax reporting.
Tax Preparation and Planning
We prepare business returns for LLCs, S-corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietors, along with personal returns for owners whose income flows through their business entities. We also handle sales tax filings for businesses that need regular quarterly or monthly reporting.
Tax preparation addresses what happened last year. Tax planning addresses what’s happening now—quarterly estimated payments, deduction timing, entity structure questions, and capital purchases. Both matter. We do both.
How the Services Fit Together
These services work together. Accurate bookkeeping makes tax prep predictable and less expensive. Reliable payroll keeps quarterly filings clean. When one piece is missing or inconsistent, everything downstream becomes harder to manage.
We work with locally owned and operated businesses across agriculture, retail, construction, professional services, and light manufacturing. Most have between two and twenty employees, though we also work with larger operations that need ongoing support without hiring a full-time controller.
Common situations include businesses with seasonal cash flow that complicates estimated tax payments, multi-location operations that need consolidated reporting, companies dealing with inventory or job costing, and firms managing contract labor alongside W-2 employees.
If your books are behind, your payroll feels harder than it should be, or you’re unsure whether your tax filings and estimates are correct, you’re the type of business we’re set up to handle.
Let's start with a conversation.
We’ll ask about your current bookkeeping and payroll setup, what’s creating problems, and what you need handled going forward. If it makes sense to work together, we’ll outline which services fit and what the ongoing engagement looks like.
Most clients start with bookkeeping catch-up or a payroll transition, then continue with monthly services and annual tax preparation. Ongoing work is billed monthly at a fixed rate. One-time projects—like cleaning up prior-year books or setting up a new accounting system—are quoted flat-fee after reviewing the scope.
