Bookkeeping in Oregon
Monthly close by business day 5, reconciled bank and card accounts, and financials you can hand to a lender without apologising for them.
Oregon business owners often assume that a state with no sales tax is a simple state to run books in, and that assumption is exactly what gets them into trouble. Between Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Bend, we work with tech and creative companies, food and beverage brands, healthcare practices, and outdoor product companies that are all subject to Oregon's Corporate Activity Tax once gross receipts cross roughly $1 million, a tax that catches businesses off guard because it isn't tied to profit. On top of that, businesses and employees inside the Portland metro area face the statewide transit tax plus Portland Metro's Supportive Housing Services tax and Multnomah County's Preschool for All tax, stacking local obligations most out-of-state accountants never think to check. Layer in Paid Leave Oregon contributions for every employer, and Oregon payroll compliance is meaningfully more involved than the “no income tax states” it gets compared to. We build the CAT, transit, and Portland-metro tax calendar into your books from day one, coordinate Oregon Health Plan billing through Coordinated Care Organizations for healthcare clients, and keep our published flat pricing the same whether you're downtown Portland or out in Bend.
