Bookkeeping Services in Ohio for Startups & Businesses
Ohio businesses run into a bookkeeping problem tied to the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT): it's based on gross revenue rather than profit, so books that don't track revenue against the CAT threshold can miss the exact moment a business crosses into liability.
Municipal income tax adds another layer, since many Ohio cities levy their own tax through systems like RITA or CCA, and books that don't flag which municipality applies can create a real mismatch at filing time. Profitjets keeps your books reconciled monthly, categorized against CAT and municipal tax reporting as transactions happen, and ready to hand off.

What Ohio Businesses Say
CAT Threshold Tracked Before a Notice Arrived
"Our books never flagged that we were approaching the Commercial Activity Tax threshold, so we found out from a notice instead of ahead of time. Profitjets set up tracking so we see it coming now."
Municipal Tax Finally Categorized by City
"Our employees work across three different Ohio cities and our books never separated which municipal system applied to each. Profitjets fixed the categorization and now each one reconciles correctly."
Monthly Close That Finally Caught Errors Early
"Our old bookkeeper closed the books quarterly at best, so errors sat unnoticed for months. Profitjets closes every month now, and small mistakes get caught before they compound."
