About Class Four Accounting
Class Four Accounting was built around a simple idea:
small business owners deserve financial clarity that gives them their time and their lives back.
Too many entrepreneurs start out with passion and end up buried in spreadsheets, tax rules, and confusing back-office tasks. We exist to change that. We partner with people launching or growing small businesses and give them the financial foundation they need to work with confidence and focus on what they love.

Decades of Real-World Experience
Founder Chuck Palmer brings more than 20 years of boots-on-the-ground experience across nearly every corner of accounting and finance, including:
- Internal accounting and bookkeeping
- Tax preparation and strategic tax planning
- Financial audits
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Budgeting and forecasting
- Accounting software setup and automation
- Litigation support
- IPO preparation and due diligence
That range matters. It means you are working with someone who has sat at the table with organizations of every size, seen the pitfalls, and knows how to build financial systems that actually work for small business owners, not just in theory but in the day-to-day grind.
Rooted in the Pacific Northwest
We are a team of local Oregonians who live, work, and raise families here in the Pacific Northwest. We believe small, local businesses are the backbone of our communities and every owner deserves support from people who genuinely care about the region they are helping build.
Whether you are just starting out or taking your business to the next stage, our job is simple:
help you thrive with clarity, confidence, and a financial plan that supports your future.
