Why Businesses Choose Us
Here's why Spokane business owners prefer to work with us instead of doing it themselves.
One Firm Handles Everything
Books, payroll, advisory. It all works together. When one firm does it all, nothing falls through the cracks. Need something adjusted or have a unique situation? Just tell us and we'll make it happen.
We've Seen Your Situation Before
Our team has 50 years of combined experience. That mess from your last bookkeeper? We've fixed it. Books that haven't been touched in two years? Seen it many times. We've handled every problem there is.
Local Service With No Contracts
You'll have access to local expertise, starting at $199/mo. No surprises. Pay more only if your business genuinely needs more work. Catching up on old books? We discount bulk work because we know you're already behind.
Behind On Your Books? We'll Catch You Up.
Haven't touched QuickBooks since 2022? Still using a spreadsheet? We don't judge, we just fix it. Most businesses come to us behind. We'll get you caught up and keep you current from that point on.
Know Where You Actually Stand
Right now you're probably guessing if you're profitable. We'll show you real numbers, what you're making, where money's going, which services make money and which don't. Make important decisions based on facts.
Your Time Is Worth More Than This
You could spend your weekends digging into QuickBooks. Or you could let us handle it while you do what actually makes you money. DIY bookkeeping usually means mistakes and hours of frustration.
Our Services
Bookkeeping
We do the data entry you hate, organize everything for taxes, and catch you up no matter how far behind you are. You'll know exactly what you spent, what you made, and what you owe.
Payroll Management
We keep the IRS happy. Paychecks go out on time, taxes get deposited, paperwork gets filed. You focus on running your business instead of calculating withholdings.
Inventory Management
We track what you have, what's selling, and what's collecting dust. Know your real profit margins on every product. No more guessing at inventory value or panic during stock counts.
Sales Tax Filing
Stop stressing about sales tax deadlines. We track taxable versus non-taxable, calculate what you owe, and file everything with the state.
Bill Pay & Invoicing
Invoice customers promptly, pay vendors on schedule. We make sure money comes in faster and bills don't pile up.
Business Advisory
Should you hire? Take that loan? Open a second location? We run the numbers, explain what they mean, and help you make smarter moves.
Industries We Serve
Here are some of the industries we know best. Not on the list? No problem. We work with all types of businesses.
Solo Entrepreneurs
You've got enough hats to wear without adding bookkeeper to the list. We manage the books, taxes, and finances like the expert you need.
Small Businesses
Too big to DIY your books, too small for a finance department. We're the professional financial team you need at this stage.
Growing Businesses
Stop spending nights on QuickBooks when you should be planning your next move. We handle the financial complexity that comes with growth.
Contractors & Trades
Get paid in chunks but bills come monthly. We help manage cash flow, track expenses by job, and handle all those 1099s at year-end.
Professional Services
Your time is worth hundreds per hour. Don't waste it on bookkeeping. We handle trust accounts, expenses, and project costs.
Property Managers
Multiple properties means multiple headaches. We handle trust accounting, owner distributions, and keep each property's books compliant.
Healthcare Practices
You went into medicine to help people, not reconcile EOBs. We track overhead, insurance payments, patient billing. You focus on patients.
Retail & E-commerce
Selling online, in-store, at markets? We record your numbers across all channels, handle sales tax, and track which products drive actual profit.
Restaurants & Bars
Tight margins require precise tracking. We monitor food costs, labor percentages, and show you which menu items actually make money.

About Us
Tend Bookkeeping is led by Emily and Jason Hamlin, who've run their own businesses and know firsthand what it's like to stare at QuickBooks at midnight. We're located in Newman Lake and serve businesses across the Inland Northwest, from Spokane to Coeur d'Alene and beyond. If you work with us, you're working with people who actually understand the challenges of running a business in this region.
We work with businesses across the region, from property managers juggling multiple accounts to restaurant owners tracking daily deposits. Property management companies, construction contractors, retail shops, professional services, we've handled books for just about every type of local business. Through all this, we've learned what businesses actually need from their bookkeeper.
Most business owners we meet don't need complicated financial analysis. You need clean books, someone who answers when you call, and straight answers about whether you can afford that new equipment or hire another employee.
Books haven't been touched since 2022? We'll catch you up. Need to know your actual profit margins? We'll figure it out. Inventory a complete mystery? We'll get it organized. We handle the bookkeeping headaches so you can focus on actually running your business.
Our team brings 50 years of combined experience to your books. We've seen every bookkeeping disaster there is, and we know how to fix it.
