Outsourced controller in Tacoma for South Sound builders & developers
We're based in the Puget Sound and grew up in Pierce County. If you'd rather have a controller who understands Tacoma permitting, South Sound subs, and how UW Tacoma-trained accountants think — and who can meet you in person — that's what this is.
Controller-level oversight built for Tacoma construction
Tacoma is the fastest-growing construction market in the South Sound, and firms scaling from $1M to $10M+ typically hit the same wall: their books can't keep up. We run controller-level oversight for North End remodelers, East Tacoma framers, and waterfront multifamily developers — with in-person meetings when Zoom isn't enough.
What our Tacoma outsourced controller handles
Scoped to how Tacoma contractors, remodelers, and developers actually build.
Job costing across residential + light commercial
Per-job P&Ls for framing, remodels, and light commercial builds — with WIP schedules when lenders ask.
WA B&O + Tacoma city tax
State excise and Tacoma Business & Occupation filings on schedule with reconciled gross receipts.
Adult family home accounting
A common Pierce County niche — we handle resident billing rhythms and caregiver payroll oversight.
In-person reviews
Monthly or quarterly financials reviewed face to face in the Tacoma area when it matters.
Sub & 1099 compliance
W-9s year-round, retainage tracked, and 1099s filed in January without the scramble.
Best fit for Tacoma firms like these
- GCs and remodelers scaling from $1M to $10M
- South Sound developers running multi-entity projects
- Adult family homes with W-2 caregivers
- Owners whose in-house accountant just resigned
