Bookkeeping for St. Marys Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for St. Marys businesses. Serving lakeside operations and year-round companies in the Grand Lake area.
Bookkeeping for St. Marys
St. Marys sits on Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio’s largest inland lake and a destination that draws visitors from across the state. That brings opportunity for local businesses but also complexity. Revenue that spikes in summer and drops in winter. Seasonal staff that comes and goes. Cash flow that requires planning. We provide Northwest Ohio bookkeeping services that account for those realities.
We work with businesses throughout St. Marys and the surrounding lake community. Everything happens remotely through secure online connections. Your books stay current without you driving to meetings or spending evenings on QuickBooks when you could be running your business.
Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that actually show where you stand so you can plan for the off-season instead of guessing.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Ohio sales tax and CAT filings handled on time. Retail and food service businesses don’t need another deadline to track. We take care of it.
St. Marys Businesses We Work With
The lake brings visitors, and those visitors support businesses. Restaurants and food service operations along the water. Marinas and boat services. Campgrounds and vacation rentals. Shops selling bait, tackle, and souvenirs. These businesses share a common challenge. Revenue concentrates in a few months while expenses spread across the whole year.
But St. Marys also has a year-round community. Contractors who maintain lake properties. Auto shops and salons serving local residents. Service businesses that operate regardless of season. We work with both types and adjust our approach to fit how each business actually runs.
Marinas and Boat Services
Marinas and Boat Services
Slip rentals, boat storage, repair and maintenance, fuel sales. Multiple revenue streams that need tracking separately so you know which parts of the business actually make money.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
Lakeside dining with high-volume summers and quieter winters. We track food costs, labor, and daily sales so you understand margins and can staff appropriately as seasons change.
Contractors
Contractors
Lake properties need work. Docks, decks, HVAC, plumbing, roofing. We handle job costing and help you track profitability by project so you know which work is worth bidding.
Retail and Service
Retail and Service
Bait shops, gift stores, salons, auto repair. Year-round and seasonal operations alike. We keep the books organized so tax time is straightforward and you always know where you stand.
Common Questions
Why would a St. Marys business work with a Findlay bookkeeper?
Bookkeeping is digital. We handle everything through secure online connections regardless of where you're located. Findlay is about 45 minutes away if you ever want to meet in person, but most clients find remote service more convenient, especially during busy season.
Can you handle seasonal businesses?
Yes. Many of our clients have significant seasonal swings. We adjust our workload to match your activity level and help you track cash flow so the slow months don't catch you off guard.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month depending on transaction volume. Seasonal businesses sometimes pay more during peak months and less during the off-season. We'll quote you after learning about your specific situation.
My books are months behind. Can you help?
Yes. Catch-up work is common. We sort through the backlog, get everything current, then keep it that way going forward. Most businesses we work with started exactly there.
Do you handle Ohio sales tax?
Yes. We file state and local sales tax returns and handle CAT filings. You stay compliant without tracking the deadlines yourself.
