Rockville is the seat of affluent Montgomery County, on the I-270 technology corridor — a hub of life sciences and biotech, federal agencies and contractors (the FDA and NRC are based here), and professional services. Its Town Center and Rockville Pike anchor a dense small-business economy of professional services, healthcare, and retail.
Maryland is one of the few states with a local income tax: every county and Baltimore City levies its own 'piggyback' income tax — from about 2.25% up to 3.30% of your Maryland taxable income — on top of a graduated state income tax that reaches 5.75% (and, new for 2025, brackets of 6.25% and 6.5% on high incomes). The sales tax is a flat 6% statewide with no local add-on, plus a new 3% tax on certain data and IT services. For Rockville businesses, getting the local income tax and the right sales-tax treatment on services is the work, and that's exactly what we keep clean.

P&L statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports that are easy to read, understand, and act on — delivered every month, on time.
We track what you owe and what's owed to you, keeping your cash flow picture clear and your vendor relationships organized.
We ensure payroll expenses hit your books correctly every pay period, syncing with your payroll processor to keep everything reconciled and tax-ready.
There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Rockville — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes. Tides was built differently.
We're not a local firm that went remote reluctantly. We were built remote-first from day one, which means faster delivery, better systems, and no overhead passed to you.
One flat rate based on your transaction volume. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no "extra work" fees. You know exactly what you're paying every month.
We don't just hand you a spreadsheet. Clean, readable reports with plain-language summaries — so you can make real business decisions from your financials.
Tax season gets dramatically easier when your books are maintained properly year-round. Most clients report lower CPA bills after working with Tides.
We earn your business every month. No lock-in agreements, no early termination fees. If we're not delivering, you can leave. That keeps us sharp.
All plans include monthly P&L, balance sheet, bank reconciliation, and dedicated support. Payroll bookkeeping support available as an add-on.
