Bookkeeping for Coldwater Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Coldwater businesses. A Findlay firm serving Mercer County's manufacturing center.

Bookkeeping for Coldwater

Coldwater is a village of about 4,500 people, but it has more economic activity than the population suggests. The manufacturing operations here require financial tracking that goes beyond basic checkbook balancing. Inventory, cost of goods sold, job costing for custom work. These aren’t things you can manage with a spreadsheet and good intentions.

We’re based in Findlay, roughly an hour north on US-127. Close enough to be regional, far enough that we’re not the same person everyone else in town uses. We handle monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for Coldwater businesses that need organized books without hiring someone full-time.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that show you where the business stands without you spending evenings on data entry.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind on your records? We sort through the backlog, organize what exists, fill in what’s missing, and deliver books you can actually work from going forward.

Payroll Services

Paychecks processed, tax deposits made, quarterly reports filed, W-2s issued. Ohio BWC handled. Your employees get paid on time and you stop tracking deadlines yourself.

Inventory & COGS Tracking

Manufacturing needs inventory tracking that ties to your financial statements. We track what you have, what it costs, and what your actual margins look like after materials.

Coldwater Businesses We Work With

Mercer County has a mix of manufacturing, agriculture, and service businesses. Coldwater specifically has built a manufacturing base that employs people from across the region. These businesses need small business bookkeeping services that can handle the complexity of tracking production costs and inventory, not just recording deposits and expenses.

We work with businesses doing roughly $100K to a few million in revenue. Established enough to need professional bookkeeping, not so large that an in-house accounting department makes sense. If you’ve been doing it yourself or relying on someone part-time and it’s not working anymore, that’s the gap we fill.

Manufacturing & Fabrication

Manufacturers in Coldwater and surrounding Mercer County. Machine shops, fabrication, production facilities. We track inventory, calculate true cost of goods sold, and deliver financials that show which products and jobs actually make money.

Contractors and Trades

Construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC working throughout western Ohio. Job costing that tracks profitability by project so your bids are based on real numbers, not guesses from last year.

Agriculture

Mercer County is farm country. Grain, livestock, and mixed operations that need records organized for operating lines and lenders. Categories set up correctly for Schedule F from the start.

Service Businesses

Local service companies that keep the community running. Clean books, clear numbers, and records that are ready when your CPA needs them for tax season.
