Bookkeeping for Van Wert County Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Van Wert County businesses. An Ohio bookkeeper serving the border county from our Findlay office.
Bookkeeping for Van Wert County
Van Wert County sits on the Ohio-Indiana border with strong ties to the Fort Wayne economy. A lot of local businesses work with Indiana customers or suppliers, and when it comes time to find a bookkeeper, Fort Wayne might seem like the obvious choice. But an Indiana accountant may not handle Ohio BWC, Ohio CAT filings, or municipal income tax withholding regularly. That’s where we come in.
We provide small business bookkeeping services from Findlay, about 45 minutes east on U.S. 224. We know Ohio requirements because that’s all we do. Van Wert County is the western edge of our service area, and we’re set up to handle the bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work that local businesses need.
