however our book keeping has still not been completed (we've not yet started 2015 though we do keep good excel records), and our accountant is almost impossible to reach.  

I do my own bookkeeping (handwritten - none of that fancy quickbooks stuff) and I bring him the ledger books for my properties at tax time. 

To loan service you essentially have to become a bank, insurance, bond, assets to cover lose, litigation, book keeping, disclosures and notifications.

The tax preparation and bookkeeping for each company is costly.

Can You Be Your Own Bookkeeper?

I'm looking for a lawyer and a CPA and/or bookkeeper in the Bremerton/Belfair area and am hoping that I can source them through you guys here on BP! 

Most hired hands are going to burn out fast after they have to chew out a misbehaving sub the third or fourth time.Let me give you an idea from my perspective -We are a design build firm and handle projects including plans, design, permit, material logistics, payroll, book-keeping, ground/assembly management, scheduling, rescheduling, vendor management, quality control/assurance, and every other aspect of construction.We typically have about 5 'ground active' jobs, and 5-7 more in the hopper in some phase of planning, design, or permitting.To accomplish this, we have a meager staff of 2 designers (one of whom is a 20 year architectural veteran), a full time office manager, a full time site manager, a helper who splits time between being a carpenter's assistant and a gopher for materials, and someone who does scheduling and material takeoffs.

Our first hire was a bookkeeper.

I am also looking for an affordable book keeper or CPA for starting LLC, somebody who can help me with these questions?

However, when we had a large office in CT our book keeper put every receipt in the property it was related to, and for general expenses did everything by vendor (no date folders except for bank statements).
