Core Bookkeeping

Looking for the best bookkeeping service for yourself or your business? Heartwood has been offering professional bookkeeping and accounting services to businesses for more than 15 years.

Over that time, we have grown from a single-person firm to one of Oregon’s best and most trusted boutique bookkeeping firms assisting more than 100 clients every month. While most of our clients operate in the greater Portland area, we are proud to serve businesses across Oregon, Washington, and California.

Bookkeeping is not always an easy task. If you have tried keeping clean books yourself, you have probably learned this. The truth is that your books can become messy and inaccurate quickly if the entry on the front-end is not addressed in a timely manner…and there are often more pressing things to attend to when running a business.  Partnering with an outside firm to ensure this crucial first step is kept up is a cost-effective alternative to hiring permanent onsite staff, and aids in internal controls against fraud.

The work of translating your financial data into a form suitable for financial statement or tax return preparation is likely to be done one way or the other, but it is a far more economical solution to have it done in real-time by a bookkeeper than to have it done by your tax professional before a looming due date.
