Accounting & Tax Services in Federal Way, WA
Federal Way sits along the I-5 corridor midway between Seattle and Tacoma, with The Commons at Federal Way and the Pacific Highway South corridor forming the city’s primary commercial districts. The city’s strategic position gives business owners access to customers across the entire south Puget Sound, from SeaTac to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. St. Francis Hospital and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health facilities anchor the local healthcare sector, supporting dozens of specialty clinics, dental offices, and home health agencies throughout the community. Federal Way’s retail landscape includes franchise operations, independent restaurants, auto services, and personal care businesses along the 320th Street and 348th Street corridors. Many Federal Way business owners operate hybrid models, combining physical storefronts with online sales channels that trigger different B&O tax classifications and multi-state sales tax obligations. Professional service firms including insurance agencies, real estate brokerages, and accounting practices have established offices near Celebration Park and the downtown core, drawn by commercial lease rates well below Seattle and Bellevue. SDO CPA works with Federal Way business owners in retail, healthcare, and professional services to manage B&O tax compliance, optimize S-Corp structures for practice owners, and provide monthly bookkeeping that separates in-store and e-commerce revenue streams. We help franchise operators with multi-unit financial reporting, assist healthcare providers with compensation structuring, and analyze profitability for service businesses balancing online and in-person operations.
Washington Tax Planning Tip
Washington has no state income tax, but the B&O (Business & Occupation) tax applies to gross receipts at rates varying by classification: 1.5% for service businesses, 0.471% for manufacturing, and 0.484% for retailing. Many Seattle businesses overpay because they file under the wrong classification or miss available credits. Proper classification review can reduce your B&O liability significantly.
