Bookkeeping for Bowling Green Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Bowling Green businesses. A Northwest Ohio firm serving the university town and Wood County seat.
Bookkeeping for Bowling Green
Bowling Green has two things going for it that most small Ohio cities don’t: a major university and county seat status. BGSU brings students, faculty, and the businesses that serve them. The county seat brings professional offices and government-adjacent work. Both create real businesses that need real bookkeeping.
We provide small business bookkeeping services for companies across Bowling Green and Wood County. We’re based in Findlay, about 30 minutes south on I-75. Close enough to meet when it matters, remote enough that you’re not paying for downtown overhead in your monthly rate.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Books closed every month with transactions categorized and accounts reconciled. Monthly financials that show you where your business actually stands, not where you hope it does.
Payroll
Payroll
Pay runs processed, taxes deposited, quarterly reports filed. Ohio BWC and Bowling Green municipal withholding handled. Year-end W-2s issued without you tracking deadlines.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books untouched for months? Longer? We reconstruct what’s missing, organize the chaos, and deliver a clean starting point. Most clients come to us this way.
Tax-Ready Records
Tax-Ready Records
Organized financials your CPA can actually use. Proper categories, supporting documentation, clean handoff. Tax season becomes routine instead of stressful.
Bowling Green Businesses We Work With
The university shapes a lot of what happens here. Restaurants near campus see different rhythms than most towns. Football weekends, parents weekends, move-in week. Then there’s the year-round economy: contractors working on both residential and university projects, professional offices serving Wood County, healthcare providers, and retail that caters to locals rather than students.
We work with established businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping, not big enough to justify a full-time hire. That’s the gap we fill.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
College town restaurants and bars run on thin margins with irregular cash flow. Football season looks different than summer break. We track food costs, labor costs, and keep the books current so you know where you stand.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Law firms, insurance agencies, real estate offices, and the professional services that cluster around any county seat. We handle the books so you can focus on clients and cases.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general contractors. Work on campus buildings, local homes, and commercial properties across Wood County. Job costing and books that support bonding requirements.
Retail and Service Businesses
Retail and Service Businesses
Shops and services along Main Street and Wooster. Some cater to students, some to locals, most to both. We keep the financial side organized so you can focus on running the store.
Common Questions
You're in Findlay. Why would a Bowling Green business work with you?
Most bookkeeping happens through screens these days. Where we sit matters less than whether we're responsive and competent. We're about 30 minutes down I-75 if meeting makes sense, but the day-to-day work happens digitally regardless.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month depending on your transaction volume. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. Findlay is a short drive, and we come to Bowling Green when it makes sense. Most clients find they prefer remote work once things are running smoothly.
My books are a mess. Can you fix that?
Yes. Many of our clients start with catch-up work. We sort through the backlog, get things current, and then keep them that way going forward.
Do you handle payroll and Ohio taxes?
Yes. Payroll processing, tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s, BWC, and municipal income tax withholding. We handle Bowling Green's city tax requirements.
