📍 About Multnomah County

Oregon's Population Core.

Multnomah County is Oregon's most-populous county and the core of its economy — anchored by Portland's technology, athletic-brand, and creative economy, the Port of Portland, and the manufacturing base of Gresham on the east side.

We serve businesses across the county — Portland, Gresham, and the smaller communities in between.

The OR Tax Angle

No sales tax — and a high income tax.

Multnomah County businesses face Oregon's no-sales-tax system — instead a graduated income tax topping at 9.9% and the statewide Corporate Activity Tax on receipts over $1 million. On top of that, the Portland metro adds local income taxes: Metro's 1% Supportive Housing Services tax and Multnomah County's Preschool for All tax (1.5% and up) on higher incomes. We keep your income, local, and Corporate Activity Tax records clean.

Why Tides

Why Multnomah County Business
Owners Choose Tides.

There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Multnomah County — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes. Tides was built differently.
