Yes. “Clean-Up” and “Catch-Up” projects are our specialty. If you haven’t touched your books in months (or years), do not panic. I can import your past bank data, categorize historical transactions, and reconcile your accounts to bring you current.

The Result: You will get a complete set of accurate financial statements (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet) for every missing month, allowing you to file back-taxes without fear.

No. Our practice is 100% digital and paperless. I utilize a modern tech stack to manage your business’s finances securely in the cloud.

How it works: You simply snap a photo of a receipt with an app or forward email invoices to a dedicated address. I handle the filing and matching digitally. This means you have permanent, searchable access to your records without storing shoeboxes of thermal paper receipts that fades over time.

Yes. Almost all business activities within Portland city limits require registration. If you are an independent contractor, freelancer, or sole proprietor doing business in Portland—even from a home office—you must register with the City of Portland Revenue Division.

The Exemption: While you must file annually, you may be exempt from paying the Business License Tax if your gross receipts are under $50,000 (City) or $100,000 (Multnomah County). We monitor these thresholds for my clients to ensure compliance.

No. We specialize in Bookkeeping, which is the foundation of a successful tax return. Think of it this way: We write the financial story of your business, and your CPA tells that story to the IRS. By hiring Bridgetown Bookkeeping to handle your monthly categorization, reconciliation, and financial reporting, you hand your tax preparer a clean, “audit-ready” package at year-end. This typically saves you money on CPA fees and ensures you maximize your legal deductions.
