Capitalization vs. expense decisions
Soft costs, carrying interest, and pre-development spend all have different treatments. We apply a consistent capitalization policy so basis is defensible at exit.
Tacoma, WA · Pierce County
Development accounting spans years, entities, and capital sources. We keep the project ledger, the entity books, and the investor reporting aligned so a capital call or a refinance never turns into a two-week reconstruction project.
Tacoma has the fastest-growing construction market in the South Sound. Whether you're framing new builds in East Tacoma, remodeling in the North End, or developing multifamily near the waterfront, we run the accounting stack behind you.
We're a Washington-based accounting team specialized in construction and real estate. That means we already know how Pierce County permitting timelines, WA B&O classifications, and local sales tax rates hit the books of real estate developers — no ramp-up period, no explaining your industry to a generalist.

Holding company, dev entity, property LLCs, and a management co — each needs its own clean books plus a consolidated roll-up.
Monthly accounting starts at $750/month. Every engagement below is handled remotely by default, with in-person meetings available across the Puget Sound.
We work with real estate developers on projects throughout the Tacoma area, including:
Yes — standardized quarterly packages with project cost-to-date, budget variance, and entity financials. Capital account and waterfall mechanics come from your operating agreement.
Yes. Once units stabilize we shift the entity onto operating-property reporting — rent roll tie-out, CAM, and NOI.
Most of our work is remote, but we're based in the Puget Sound and regularly meet Tacoma-area clients in person when it helps — onboarding, year-end review, or a lender meeting.
Capitalization policy, project cost ledgers, construction draw reconciliation, multi-entity books, and investor reporting — how we run development accounting end to end.
