Bookkeeping for Mercer County Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Mercer County businesses. Serving Celina, Coldwater, St. Henry, and the surrounding agricultural community.
Bookkeeping for Mercer County
Mercer County leads Ohio in agricultural output. That means the local economy runs on farm operations, the businesses that support them, and the communities built around both. Celina, Coldwater, St. Henry, Fort Recovery. These aren’t bedroom communities. They’re places where people build real businesses and expect to work with people who understand that.
We’re based in Findlay, about 45 minutes east. We handle monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for businesses across Mercer County. You get organized records and someone who actually answers when you call.

Mercer County Businesses We Work With
The county economy starts with agriculture but doesn’t end there. Manufacturing operations in Coldwater and Celina. Trucking and logistics moving product out of the county. Equipment dealers, feed suppliers, and veterinary services that keep farms running. Restaurants and shops along the Grand Lake shoreline.
