Bookkeeping for Putnam County Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Putnam County businesses. Monthly bookkeeping, farm financials, and tax-ready records from a nearby Northwest Ohio firm.
Bookkeeping for Putnam County
Putnam County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in Ohio. It’s also one of the smaller ones by population, which means businesses here often get overlooked by accounting firms chasing volume in Toledo or Columbus. We’re based in Findlay, close enough to serve Putnam County without treating it as an afterthought.
We provide bookkeeping for farms, contractors, and the small businesses that keep places like Ottawa, Leipsic, and Columbus Grove running. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work. The back-office support that lets you focus on the actual operation.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Books closed every month with transactions categorized and accounts reconciled. Financial statements that show where you actually stand, not a best guess reconstructed in March.
Payroll

Payroll processing with tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Ohio BWC reporting included. Works for year-round staff and seasonal help alike.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books that haven’t been touched since last tax season? Longer? We sort through the backlog and build a clean set of records you can actually use going forward.
Tax-Ready Records
Tax-Ready Records
Your CPA or tax preparer gets organized financials with proper categorization. No more scrambling in February to figure out what happened last year.
Putnam County Businesses We Work With
The economy here is agricultural first. Corn, soybeans, livestock, and the equipment and services that support all of it. But there are also contractors, small manufacturers, and the local businesses that serve a county of 34,000 people spread across small towns and farmland. These operations need accurate books whether they’re doing $100K or $2M in revenue.
Farms and Ag Operations
Farms and Ag Operations
Row crops, livestock, dairy. We handle farm bookkeeping with Schedule F categories that match what your tax preparer needs. Financials stay current for operating line renewals and equipment loans.
Contractors
Contractors
Residential, agricultural, light commercial. The trades work that happens in a rural county. Job costing, equipment tracking, and books that support bonding when you need it.
Trucking and Ag Transport
Trucking and Ag Transport
Grain hauling, livestock transport, general freight. Cost-per-mile matters whether you’re running one truck or five. We track it so you know which loads pay.
Local Services
Local Services
The businesses in town: restaurants, shops, salons, professional offices. Smaller customer base than a city, but the same need for accurate financials and someone who returns calls.
