About Foray Business Group

Portland and Vancouver's trusted partner for bookkeeping, business advisory, and financial clarity. We're more than accountants—we're strategic partners invested in your success.

Our Story

Foray Business Group was founded on a simple belief: small and medium-sized businesses deserve the same level of financial expertise and strategic guidance as large corporations—just tailored to their unique needs and budget.

What started as a vision to provide better bookkeeping services has evolved into a comprehensive business advisory practice. We've grown from serving a handful of local Portland businesses to supporting companies throughout the Pacific Northwest and across the nation.

Today, Foray Business Group is a CAAS-certified practice with a team of experienced professionals dedicated to one mission: transforming financial data into actionable insights that drive business growth.
