Bookkeeping for Ada Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Ada businesses. A Findlay firm serving the Ohio Northern University community.

Bookkeeping for Ada

Ada is a university town. Ohio Northern brings students, faculty, and staff who need places to eat, shop, and live. That creates opportunity for local business owners, but it also means managing the books while juggling the demands of serving a campus community.

We are a Findlay bookkeeper serving businesses in Ada and throughout Hardin County. Everything happens remotely through secure document sharing and online communication. You get organized books and reliable financial reports without driving anywhere or scheduling office visits.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and monthly financial statements. Your books stay current every month so you always know where your business stands.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

If your books are months or years behind, we start here. We organize backlogged transactions, correct errors, and get your records current so you can move forward with confidence.

Payroll Services

Pay runs processed, taxes deposited, quarterly reports filed, W-2s issued. Your employees get paid on time and you stop worrying about payroll deadlines and withholding calculations.

Bill Pay and Invoicing

We handle your outgoing payments and incoming invoices. Vendors get paid on schedule, customers get billed promptly, and you have time to focus on running your business.

Ada Businesses We Work With

Ohio Northern shapes the local economy in Ada. The university has colleges of pharmacy, law, engineering, and business, which means professional services and healthcare adjacent to campus. Beyond that, Ada has the restaurants, shops, and service businesses that any community needs.

We work with businesses doing $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need organized books but not big enough to justify a full-time bookkeeper on staff. If you’ve outgrown doing it yourself, we are set up for that gap.

Restaurants and Food Service

College towns run on food. Pizza shops, cafes, bars, and takeout spots serving students and locals. Restaurant bookkeeping means high transaction volume, tip reporting, and food cost tracking that we handle every month.

Retail and Service

Local shops, salons, and service businesses serving the Ada community. We track sales, manage inventory costs, and deliver financials that show which parts of your business are actually profitable.

Professional Services

Law offices, consultants, healthcare providers, and other professional practices near campus. Monthly bookkeeping keeps your overhead clear and your P&L ready for review whenever you need it.

Contractors and Trades

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contractors working in Ada and surrounding Hardin County. We handle job costing so you know which projects are profitable and can bid accurately on new work.

Common Questions

You're based in Findlay. Do you work with Ada businesses?

Yes. Ada is about 15 miles away, and we work with businesses there remotely. Document sharing and communication happen online, which works well for most clients. If meeting in person makes sense, we can arrange that too.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month. Your actual price depends on transaction volume and complexity. We provide a flat monthly quote after reviewing your books so there are no surprises.

Do college town businesses have unique bookkeeping needs?

Sometimes. Businesses tied to the university calendar see seasonal swings in revenue. We help you track those patterns and manage cash flow so the slow periods don't catch you off guard.

My books are behind. Can you help?

Yes. Many clients start with catch-up work. We organize the backlog, correct errors, and get your records current before moving to monthly service.

How do I get started?

Reach out and we'll schedule a call to learn about your business. After reviewing your situation, we provide a quote and can usually begin within a week.
