Bookkeeping for Celina Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Celina businesses. Serving Grand Lake St. Marys and Mercer County from our Findlay office.
Bookkeeping for Celina
Celina is the county seat of Mercer County and home to Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio’s largest inland lake. That lake shapes the local economy in ways that generic accounting firms don’t always understand. Summer brings tourists, boaters, and revenue. Winter brings quieter months where businesses need to manage differently. The books have to reflect that reality.
We provide small business bookkeeping services, payroll, and catch-up work for businesses across Celina and Mercer County. Our office is in Findlay, about an hour east on Route 224. Close enough to meet when it matters, available by phone and email the rest of the time. Most bookkeeping work happens through screens anyway.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that show where you stand whether you’re in peak season or the slow stretch.
Payroll Services
Payroll Services
We run payroll, handle tax deposits and quarterly filings, manage Ohio BWC reporting, and issue W-2s at year end. You approve hours, we handle everything else including Celina municipal withholding.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books that haven’t been touched in months? We’ve seen it. We reconstruct what’s there, organize what’s missing, and deliver clean records you can actually work from going forward.
Tax-Ready Records
Tax-Ready Records
Financials organized the way your CPA needs them. Proper categories, supporting documentation, clean handoff. Tax season becomes routine instead of a scramble.
Celina Businesses We Work With
Grand Lake brings vacation traffic and seasonal revenue patterns that require monthly bookkeeping that adapts to your cycle. But Celina isn’t just a lake town. There’s manufacturing here, agriculture throughout Mercer County, and the service businesses that support a community of 10,000 people. What these businesses share is a need for organized books without the overhead of a full-time hire.
We work with established businesses, typically $50K to a few million in revenue, that need reliable bookkeeping from someone who will stick around. Not a freelancer who disappears, not a big firm chasing bigger clients.
Lake and Seasonal Businesses

Agriculture
Agriculture
Mercer County is farm country. Corn, soybeans, livestock operations that need financials ready for operating lines and Schedule F categories done correctly from the start.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
Residential and commercial work across the county and lake area. Job costing that tracks profit by project. Records that hold up when you need bonding or equipment financing.
Common Questions
You're in Findlay. Why would a Celina business hire you?
Bookkeeping is digital work. We're about an hour east on 224, close enough to meet when needed but far enough that we're not your neighbor moonlighting with a spreadsheet. Most of what we do happens through screens regardless of where anyone sits.
Do you understand seasonal businesses?
Yes. Grand Lake means some Celina businesses do half their annual revenue between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We structure services around how your business actually operates, not a calendar that assumes every month looks the same.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month based on expense volume. Seasonal businesses get pricing that reflects how the work falls throughout the year rather than a flat rate that doesn't match reality.
My books are behind. Can you help?
That's a normal starting point. We handle catch-up work to get things current, then move to monthly service going forward.
Do you handle payroll and Ohio taxes?
Yes. Payroll processing, tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s, and Ohio BWC. Municipal withholding for Celina included.
