Bookkeeping for Shelby County Businesses
Bookkeeping for Sidney and Shelby County's manufacturing economy. Clean books, payroll, and inventory tracking for industrial businesses.
Bookkeeping for Shelby County
Shelby County has the highest manufacturing employment per capita in Ohio. That’s not just a statistic. It means the county runs on production schedules, inventory management, and the kind of work that requires accurate financial tracking. We provide small business bookkeeping services for manufacturers, machine shops, and the businesses that support this industrial economy.
Sidney is the county seat and economic center. Honda’s engine plant anchors the area, but there are dozens of smaller manufacturers and suppliers that keep the local economy moving. These businesses need bookkeeping that understands manufacturing, not a generic service designed for retail or professional offices.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that reflect what’s actually happening in your business so you can make decisions based on real numbers.
Inventory and COGS Tracking
Inventory and COGS Tracking
Inventory tracking for manufacturers who need to know their true cost of goods sold. Raw materials, work in progress, finished goods. Books that show real margins, not estimates.
Payroll Services
Payroll Services
Full payroll processing for manufacturing teams. Shift differentials, overtime, tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s. Your workforce gets paid accurately and on schedule without you handling the calculations.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books behind because production took priority? We clean up months or years of backlog and get your financials current. Most clients come to us needing some level of catch-up work before moving to monthly service.
Shelby County Businesses We Work With
The Honda plant draws attention, but Shelby County’s economy includes everything from precision machine shops to logistics companies moving parts across the region. Many of these businesses have grown past the point where the owner can manage the books, but they’re not large enough to justify a full-time accountant. That’s the gap we fill.
We work with manufacturers, fabricators, contractors serving industrial clients, and the service businesses that keep this community running. If your books have become a problem instead of a tool, we can fix that.

Common Questions
Do you work with manufacturers?
Yes. A significant portion of our clients are manufacturers and industrial businesses. We understand inventory tracking, job costing, and the payroll complexity that comes with running shifts.
Where are you located?
Findlay, about 45 minutes north on I-75. We work remotely with all our clients, so your location in Shelby County doesn't affect the service. If you want to meet in person, we can arrange that.
What does bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. The exact price depends on your transaction volume and complexity. Manufacturers with inventory typically need more work than a simple service business.
Can you handle payroll for multiple shifts?
Yes. We process payroll for businesses with shift differentials, overtime calculations, and varying pay schedules. Your employees get paid correctly and on time.
Do you handle Ohio CAT filings?
Yes. We prepare and file Commercial Activity Tax returns along with sales tax when applicable. Ohio business taxes are part of what we do for clients across Northwest Ohio.
