Boutique Accounting in Seattle

– with a bit of an edge

Welcome to Nolan Nelson Accounting PLLC

My name is Ben Nelson. I started Nolan Nelson Accounting because I was tired of watching engaged small business owners receive sub-par accounting services from firms that don’t truly understand their business – or care enough to try. My firm is CPA-led. I run every client engagement personally. If you’re a small business owner in the Greater Seattle area looking for bookkeeping and accounting that’s truly in tune with your business, you’re in the right place. Book a fit call and let’s see if we’re a match.

Two people collaborate at a desk with a laptop, notebook, and a yellow mug. They appear focused, surrounded by shelves of books and decor.

Services Overview

I believe everything starts with the books. When your bookkeeping is clean and current, everything else gets easier – your cash flow makes sense, your tax prep doesn’t become a fire drill, and that feeling of financial confusion turns into clarity.

That’s what I do. CPA-led bookkeeping with AR, AP, payroll, and tax services that layer on when you need them.

Industries

I work best with two kinds of boutique businesses: Real Estate Brokerages and Attorneys & Law Offices.

Whether you’re a boutique real estate brokerage needing help with commission splits, agent rosters, or escrow reconciliations, or a small law firm navigating the nuances of IOLTA and trust accounting, I understand how your books are different from everyone else’s.

Before starting his firm, Ben spent most of his career at Costco Wholesale in Accounting and then Internal Audit.
