Monthly Sage Bookkeeping in Seattle, Washington
Bookkeeping for Seattle companies on Sage, handled by the same bookkeeper every month at a flat rate agreed before we start.
- A flat monthly rate, quoted before we start
- We work in your Sage file — no migration required
- Aged payables and receivables kept current
The local mix is unusually varied — software consultancies billing by project, aerospace supply businesses, maritime operators working to seasonal cycles, and food and coffee businesses. A consultancy and a fishing operation need such different things from a monthly close that one template serves neither.
What our service covers in Seattle
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Transaction coding
Every line categorized against a chart of accounts built around how your Seattle business actually earns and spends, coded the same way each month so comparisons hold.
Monthly close
Balances checked against source documents, control accounts cleared and statements confirmed to tie before anything reaches you.
Bank and card reconciliation
Each account matched to the statement monthly, with differences investigated and explained rather than quietly absorbed into a suspense account.
Cleanup and catch-up
If the Sage file has drifted or you are months behind, we quote that separately as one-time work so it never holds up the monthly service.
Sales tax and VAT records
Maintained on whatever basis you report, in the state your accountant needs them. We keep the records; the filing and the advice stay with them.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Tell us what you are running
A short call covering which Sage product you use, your Seattle transaction volume and how many accounts are involved. You get a flat monthly rate on that call.
We pick up the file
Access is set up, the chart of accounts is reviewed and tidied where it needs it, and we agree what belongs in your monthly pack. Usually about a week.
It runs monthly
Transactions are coded as they arrive, ledgers reconcile each month, and your reports land on schedule. When something needs a decision, your bookkeeper calls.
Why Seattle businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want records your accountant can use without a cleanup first
- You are months behind and want a plan rather than a lecture
- You want the same bookkeeper every month, not a rotating team
- You would rather pay a flat rate than watch an hourly meter
Time that never reaches the ledger
Consultancies here almost always track hours somewhere — a timesheet tool, a project system, occasionally a shared spreadsheet — and almost as often that data never makes it into Sage in any form the accounts can use.
So every engagement looks profitable. Billing is recorded, the people who did the work are recorded as a monthly payroll total, and nothing connects the two. The spread between the best engagement and the worst is invisible, and it is usually wide.
Bringing time across does not require a live integration. A monthly allocation from whatever you already track is enough to make project margin real, and it is the single change that most improves what these files can tell an owner.
