Serving the Tri-Cities, WA · Pasco · Kennewick · Richland
We handle your bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes, so you can get back to running the business.
Typically $800–$1,200/month for one operating entity with payroll.
Tax returns are quoted separately. Cleanup is folded into the first 60 days of the monthly fee, not a surprise invoice. The 30-minute consult is how we see if the package fits. It is not the product.
A CPA-led firm based in the Tri-Cities, WA, run by Willson Franklin, CPA. We do monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and Washington filings for businesses in Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland.
The Steadfast Operating Package is typically $800–$1,200 per month for one operating entity with payroll. Tax returns are quoted separately. Cleanup of old books is folded into the first 60 days of the monthly fee.
Books closed by the 15th, payroll run with taxes withheld, Washington filings handled (DOR, L&I, PFML, WA Cares), and a tax-ready file all year. You get Willson on the phone with a same-day callback.
Tri-Cities service businesses that already have W-2 employees: med spas, gyms, shops, and recruiting and staffing firms. It is not a fit for tax-only side hustles or personal 1040 shoppers.
Steadfast took our books from four months behind to fully caught up in three weeks. For the first time, I can open QuickBooks and actually know what I'm looking at. Willson caught a duplicate charge from our vendor that saved us $840. That alone paid for the service.
Payroll used to eat half my Friday, every Friday. Now I literally don't think about it. Taxes filed, PTO tracked, L&I handled. The first month I didn't have to touch a spreadsheet felt like getting a day of my life back.
My last accountant returned maybe one in three calls. Willson picks up the phone. When I had a question about a 1099 in November, not even tax season, and he answered it same-day. That's never happened to me with an accountant before.
