Bookkeeping for Allen County Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Allen County businesses. Serving Lima and surrounding areas from our Findlay office, 30 minutes up I-75.
Bookkeeping for Allen County
Lima anchors Allen County, but the small business economy extends well beyond downtown. There are manufacturers and machine shops that have operated for decades. Healthcare providers serving a regional population. Contractors and trades businesses working across the county. Farms in the townships outside city limits. These businesses need bookkeeping that actually gets done, not a big-city firm that treats them as an afterthought.
We’re in Findlay, a straight shot up I-75. That proximity means Allen County clients get a local-enough firm without the overhead that comes with a Lima address. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work when things have fallen behind.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Books closed every month. Transactions categorized correctly, accounts reconciled, reports delivered. The consistency that lets you make decisions from real numbers instead of guesses.
Payroll
Payroll
Paychecks, withholdings, deposits, filings. Ohio BWC reporting handled. Your employees get paid correctly, and you stop tracking payroll deadlines yourself.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Tax-Ready Records

Allen County Businesses We Work With
Allen County’s economy was built on manufacturing, and that foundation still shows. The refinery, the tank plant, the suppliers and fabricators that grew up around heavy industry. Some of those businesses have been here for generations. Others are newer operations filling gaps as the economy shifts. Either way, the books have to work.
We serve businesses doing roughly $50K to $3M in revenue. Large enough to need proper bookkeeping, not so large that a full-time controller makes sense.
Manufacturing and Fabrication
Manufacturing and Fabrication
Machine shops, fabricators, parts suppliers. Inventory and COGS tracking that shows real margins on jobs instead of a blended number that hides the losers.
Healthcare
Healthcare
Lima has regional hospitals that create work for clinics, therapy practices, dental offices, and specialty providers. We handle the revenue timing gap between providing care and collecting payment.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
Residential, commercial, industrial. Allen County has all three. Job costing that shows profit by project, not just overall. Books that support bonding and equipment financing.
Transportation
Transportation
I-75 and US-30 cross in Lima, which means freight moves through. Trucking companies and owner-operators who need to know their cost per mile, not just their gross revenue.
