Mākena is one of Kīhei's distinctive business communities. Resort and beach area at South Maui's end — hotels, tours, and services. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving Mākena.
As part of the greater Kīhei, HI economy within Maui County, Mākena businesses share the same Hawaii tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Kīhei you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Hawaii doesn't use a traditional sales tax - instead, nearly every business pays the General Excise Tax (GET) on gross income (about 4%, or 4.5% on Oahu), filed on Forms G-45 and G-49. Because GET applies to gross receipts, accurate revenue tracking is essential. We keep your books reconciled month to month so your GET filings are always ready.
