Bookkeeping Services in Michigan for Small Businesses
Michigan businesses run into a bookkeeping problem tied to city-level income tax: Detroit and several other Michigan cities charge their own income tax on top of the state rate, so books that don't flag which owners or employees fall under a city tax obligation can miss it entirely until a notice arrives.
Sales tax is simpler here, since Michigan applies one flat statewide rate with no local variation, which is a real advantage most owners don't fully appreciate. Profitjets keeps your books reconciled monthly, categorized against state and city income tax reporting as transactions happen, and ready to hand off whenever your CPA or our tax team needs them.

Books That Keep City & State Tax Records Organized
Books that aren't reconciled against actual city income tax obligations tend to drift, and that drift usually surfaces as a mismatch nobody notices until tax season forces a reconciliation months after the fact.
We reconcile your accounts monthly, flag employees and owners subject to city income tax as it happens, and keep your books in a state your CPA or our tax team can use immediately.

What Michigan Businesses Say
City Income Tax Finally Flagged in Our Books
"Our books never flagged that Detroit charges its own city income tax, so we found out two years late from a notice. Profitjets caught it and now tracks it correctly every month."
Corporate Books Finally Separated From Personal
"Our founder had been running business income through her personal accounts for years even after we incorporated. Profitjets separated everything and our books finally reflect the actual entity structure."
One Statewide Rate Made Reconciliation Easier Than Expected
"We assumed Michigan's flat sales tax rate meant our books would already be simple, but we hadn't set up categorization correctly in the first place. Profitjets fixed it and reconciliation really has been the easy part since."
