Two different kinds of business dominate the local work. Product companies carrying inventory — apparel, food and beverage, specialist manufacturing. And project-billing agencies and studios. They need almost opposite things from a monthly close, and a single generic setup serves neither well.
What our service covers in Portland
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Payment processor matching
Stripe, Square and PayPal pay out net of fees. We match payouts to the underlying sales and book the fees separately so revenue is not understated.
Onboarding handover
Roughly a week to connect feeds, build or clean the chart of accounts and agree what belongs in your monthly pack.
Owner draw tracking
Personal spending that runs through the business is separated as it happens, which keeps the profit figure honest month by month.
Suspense and uncategorized clearing
Anything we cannot identify is queued for you rather than guessed at, and cleared before the month closes instead of accumulating.
Bank feed management
Feeds connected read-only and the rules reviewed as they age, because a rule written a year ago quietly miscodes for months once a supplier changes.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Tell us where things stand
A 20-minute call covering your transaction volume, how many accounts are in play and how far behind (if at all) things are. You get a flat monthly rate on that call.
We take over the file
Read-only feeds get connected, the chart of accounts is built or cleaned up, and we agree what belongs in your monthly pack. Roughly a week end to end.
It just runs
Transactions are categorized as they arrive, accounts reconcile monthly, and your reports land by the 10th. When something needs a decision, your bookkeeper calls you.
Why Portland businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want a predictable monthly cost rather than an hourly bill
- You want problems raised during the year, not in January
- Transactions have grown past what a spreadsheet can hold
- You need lender-ready numbers on a predictable schedule
Two shapes of business
A product business lives or dies on cost of goods and stock accuracy. The close is about valuation, and the report that matters shows margin by product line.
An agency has almost no inventory and a completely different question: which engagements paid once the time actually spent on them is counted. There the close is about matching costs to projects.
We set up for whichever you are rather than applying one template. Businesses that do both — a studio with a product line — get the two kept apart, because blending them hides the performance of each.
