Why Snyders Bookkeeping?
Most Portland bookkeepers treat your books like a compliance task. Something to clean up before April. We disagree. Your books are the operating system of your business - and they should tell you something useful every single month.
Why Snyders Bookkeeping?
I am Max Snyder. I graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Finance and Supply Chain Management, and I built Snyders Bookkeeping because I kept hearing the same story from small business owners across Portland: "I have a bookkeeper, but I still do not understand my numbers."
That is the problem with most bookkeeping in this town. It treats your books like a compliance task, something to clean up before April. It is not. Your books are the operating system of your business. If you cannot see your margins, your cash position, and your runway in real time, you are guessing. And guessing is expensive.
I built Snyders Bookkeeping around three principles:
"Your numbers should mean something."
Every monthly close comes with plain-English commentary on what changed and why. If a number moved, you will know what caused it.
"Cash flow is not optional."
Most Portland bookkeepers will never produce a cash flow statement or a runway statement. We produce both, monthly, with a 90-day forward forecast. You will know what your cash position will look like before it gets uncomfortable.
"Your CPA should never have to clean up after us."
We coordinate with your tax preparer year-round. Your year-end filing should be quick because everything was right all year.
I am a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and a Certified Bookkeeper. I work exclusively with QuickBooks Online because it is the only platform that gives you and your CPA real-time access to the same numbers. I am based in Happy Valley and serve clients throughout the Portland metro and Southern Washington.
If you are tired of bookkeeping that stops at "your accounts are reconciled," let us talk.
