Local details that matter in Kent
Mixed project-type accounting
Kent contractors often run commercial, residential, and service work side by side. We set up cost codes and classes so each project type reports cleanly.
South King County labor & materials
Tighter margins than Seattle or Bellevue mean job costing matters even more. We track actual vs. estimated costs monthly.
Sales tax on commercial work
Warehouse and TI jobs have specific sales-tax rules. We keep your coding straight so WA excise filings hold up under audit.
