Beaverton CPA, Accounting & Bookkeeping for Tech & Service Businesses
Remote, cloud-first accounting for Beaverton’s software companies, tech vendors, agencies and professional-service firms in the heart of the Silicon Forest — clean books, Oregon taxes handled, and CFO-level insight without the in-house cost.
Accounting for the Silicon Forest
Beaverton is the center of gravity for Oregon’s “Silicon Forest.” It’s the global headquarters of Nike, sits beside Intel’s massive Hillsboro operations, and anchors a dense ecosystem of hardware, software, and the design, marketing and professional-service firms that orbit them. Washington County — Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard and beyond — is one of the most technology-driven economies on the West Coast, and the businesses here have the accounting needs to match: recurring and project revenue, R&D, equity-heavy teams and multi-state clients.
Oregon taxes — and how Beaverton differs from Portland
Oregon’s tax model is the opposite of Washington’s, and the local layer depends on where in the metro you are:
- Oregon income tax, no statewide sales tax — the reverse of Washington’s B&O model.
- Oregon Corporate Activity Tax (CAT): a gross-receipts-style tax on commercial activity above an annual threshold (around $1M).
- Local layer: Beaverton sits in Washington County, so it is not subject to the City of Portland / Multnomah County business income taxes — an important distinction from a Portland-proper business, though regional Metro-area taxes can still apply.
