Renton is a King County city at the southern end of Lake Washington, where Boeing's Renton plant assembles commercial jetliners and anchors a network of aerospace suppliers and machine shops. Valley Medical Center supports a large healthcare community, and industrial areas host distributors, logistics firms and contractors serving the Seattle metro. The Landing and downtown Renton support retail and restaurants, and many companies benefit from easy access to Seattle, Bellevue and Sea-Tac Airport.
Aerospace suppliers in Renton need accurate inventory, job costing and customer concentration planning tied to production rates, while logistics firms track costs by route and customer. Healthcare practices need clean billing, and all firms navigate Washington's business and occupation tax. PSG keeps books reconciled every month, builds reporting by job, product or customer, and delivers fractional CFO guidance on working capital and financing.
Washington has no state individual or corporate income tax, but it levies a Business and Occupation tax on gross receipts, and some cities add their own B&O taxes. Sales tax combines state and local rates.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Renton companies through a dedicated team that is entirely US based, combining Big Four accounting experience with years of operating experience across industries. Your team closes the books on a regular schedule, works inside the accounting tools you already use and looks at your numbers the way an operator would, not just a bookkeeper.
Typically bank and card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll support, Washington sales tax tracking and monthly financial statements you can act on. Growing companies can add fractional CFO support for forecasting, budgeting and cash planning.
Usually when decisions start to outgrow the books: raising capital or bank financing, opening a new location, making key hires, tightening margins or preparing for a future sale. A fractional CFO adds forecasting and strategic guidance without the cost of a full time executive.
We also work with businesses in Burien, Kent, Seattle, Federal Way and Sammamish.

“If you want to sleep better at night, hire Phoenix Strategy Group.”

“PSG and David Metzler structured an extraordinary M&A deal during a very chaotic period in our business, and I couldn't be more pleased with our partnership.”

“PSG saved my dream. They helped us get our financials in order and renegotiate our lending agreements, pulling us through a tough financial crunch.”

“As our fractional CFO, they accomplished more in six months than our last two full-time CFOs combined. If you're looking for unparalleled financial strategy and integration, hiring PSG is one of the best decisions you can make.”

“Hire PSG if you want to make your life easier and have accurate data.”

“As a home service business owner, understanding complex financials and Unit Economics always seemed overwhelming—until we started working with Phoenix Strategy Group.”

Hi! I'm Sam, a financial leader who's managed operations from startups to $40M enterprises.
I've led licensing deals with Disney, Marvel, and Viacom, while overseeing products across 35,000 retail stores. Through SHK Financial, I've helped 15+ high-growth companies succeed, including recovering $2M in receivables for a major client and rebuilding a $10M ARR company's accounting system in 6 months. Now, as Chief Accounting Officer at PSG, I oversee 50+ revenue streams and help launch many successful 8-figure businesses.
My journey started uniquely - while studying finance at Fresno State, I taught both chess and accounting to students, teaching me that success in finance, like in chess, is all about strategic thinking and seeing several moves ahead.
