Everett, Washington
Everett CPA, Accounting & Bookkeeping for Service & Software Businesses
Remote, cloud-first accounting for Everett’s professional-service firms, agencies, aerospace suppliers and growing software companies — clean books, Washington & Everett B&O tax handled, and CFO-level insight without the in-house cost.
Accounting for the North Sound’s economy
Everett anchors Snohomish County and the north Puget Sound. It’s best known for Boeing’s enormous Everett plant and Naval Station Everett, but the city’s economy is much broader: a deep base of aerospace and manufacturing suppliers, plus the professional-service firms, consultancies, agencies and software companies that serve a fast-growing, more-affordable alternative to Seattle. Many North Sound founders left the city’s costs behind but kept their clients — exactly the kind of service and software businesses we specialize in.
Whether you’re an engineering-services firm in the aerospace supply chain or a SaaS startup serving clients statewide, your books should show real profitability and keep you ahead of Washington’s gross-receipts tax model.
Washington and Everett B&O tax — both handled
Everett adds a city layer on top of the state tax, like Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma:
- No state income tax in Washington.
- State B&O (Business & Occupation) tax on gross receipts — most service and software firms report under the higher “Service & Other Activities” classification.
- Everett’s own city B&O tax, separate from the state’s — so many Everett businesses file both.
