Our Story

Built on Conviction.
Defined by Trust.

Hutchinson & Walter was built on a simple conviction: that every client — whether an individual filing their first return or a business navigating a complex acquisition — deserves the highest caliber of accounting expertise. For over four decades, that conviction has guided every engagement, every filing, and every conversation we've had with clients across the Puget Sound region.

Today, as a 100% women and minority owned firm, we bring not just depth of experience but breadth of perspective. Our team serves a diverse clientele spanning professional services, technology, healthcare, construction, real estate, hospitality, finance, and nonprofits. That diversity isn't incidental — it's a deliberate reflection of the communities we serve.

What sets us apart isn't just technical mastery — it's the relationships we build over time. Clients come to us in pivotal moments and stay because they trust us completely. We're not a firm you call once a year. We're the advisors you call when it matters most.
