Spokane Valley lies east of Spokane along the Spokane River and the corridor toward Coeur d'Alene and the Idaho border. It is a practical, industrial city with manufacturers, metal fabricators, food processors and distribution centers in its business parks, along with trucking companies and equipment dealers. A regional mall and busy commercial corridors support retail and restaurants, while contractors, auto services and healthcare practices serve a growing residential base.
Spokane Valley manufacturers and fabricators need job costing, work in process tracking and inventory valuation. Distributors and trucking firms rely on cost per shipment and equipment reporting, and many businesses operate across the Washington and Idaho line, which complicates payroll and tax. PSG maintains accurate monthly bookkeeping and adds fractional CFO support for forecasting, pricing 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 Spokane Valley 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 Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Pasco, Kennewick and Richland.

“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.”

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.
