About

A Portland bookkeeping firm that chose one industry

Last updated:

Maple Ridge Bookkeeping provides monthly bookkeeping and payroll in Portland, Oregon, and works only with restaurants and small food businesses.

What sets Maple Ridge apart for Portland restaurant owners?

Three things. Maple Ridge only works with restaurants and small food businesses, so it knows tip pooling, tip credits, food cost and sales tax as everyday work. Every client gets a dedicated bookkeeper. And books are closed by the 10th of each month.

In the last 12 months, Maple Ridge served 42 restaurant and food business clients.

Restaurants and small food businesses only. That is the whole client list.

Why only restaurants and food businesses

Restaurant books look different from most small business books. Sales arrive through several channels every day, tips move through payroll without being revenue, food cost shifts with every vendor invoice, and Oregon wage rules for tipped staff differ from the federal baseline. A firm that serves many industries meets these questions occasionally. Maple Ridge meets them on every account, every month.

That focus also makes the firm honest about fit. If a business does not sell food, Maple Ridge is not the right choice, and it says so.
