For Kitsap County business owners
We're Nate and Tyler Walters, a father-and-son practice in Poulsbo. We help Kitsap business owners turn what they've built into wealth that lasts, with investments, taxes, family protection, and a well-planned exit in one plan.
Someone asked if I'd ever sell. I said maybe. Now I can't stop wondering what the business is really worth, and whether I'm ready to find out.
If something happened to me tomorrow, my family would inherit a business they've never run, and a partner with no way to buy them out.
Best year we've ever had. Then I saw the tax bill, and it was too late to change any of it.
My family keeps asking what our plan is. I keep telling them the business is the plan.
My best people have been with me fifteen years. I haven't planned for what happens to them when I'm gone.
Everyone assumes I have it all figured out. The business, sure. Everything outside of it? I've never had a real plan.
Six services that work as one, built around you and the business.
In thirty-five years of advising business owners, I've seen both endings: sales that fell short and families caught unprepared, and owners who sold well, retired on their own terms, and left behind a business and a family that kept thriving.
The difference was rarely the business itself. It was whether anyone had been planning for the owner while the owner was busy planning for everything else.
No account reps or hand-offs. When you call, you reach one of us.
Multiple generations of our family have worked at the naval shipyard in Bremerton, run the general store in Port Gamble, owned small businesses, served as firefighters, taught in local schools, worked in local government, and stayed deeply involved in the community. It's how we know the towns, the industries, and the people who keep this county running. Today, we put that to work for business owners from Kingston to Port Orchard.
Through Built in Kitsap, we also share the stories of the people behind the county's businesses.
