Tides Bookkeeping provides remote bookkeeping, payroll support, and monthly financial reporting for Dublin business owners who'd rather focus on running their business than managing their books.

One of Columbus's most affluent suburbs, Dublin punches far above its size — home to the headquarters of Cardinal Health and Wendy's, a growing pharma and tech cluster, and the Bridge Park mixed-use district on the Scioto. The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village and the Dublin Irish Festival put the city on the national map.
That opportunity comes with real financial complexity. In Ohio that also means the municipal income tax — withholding and net-profit filings routed through RITA, the CCA, or the city's own tax division across the many jurisdictions where Dublin-area employees work. Business owners in Dublin need clean books, clear cash-flow visibility, and a partner who keeps every filing on track.
Dublin hosts Fortune 500 headquarters including Cardinal Health and Wendy's, plus a deep bench of tech, pharma, and professional-services firms.
Top-rated schools, high household incomes, and the Bridge Park development make Dublin one of Central Ohio's most desirable business locations.
The West Innovation District, the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village, and the Dublin Irish Festival drive year-round commerce.
Dublin is more than a zip code — it's one of Central Ohio's most dynamic cities. Understanding its neighborhoods, roads, history, and economy is how we serve our clients better.
Settled in the early 1800s along the Scioto River and platted in 1810, Dublin grew as a quiet limestone-quarrying and farming community northwest of Columbus. Its name and stone bridges reflect the Irish heritage of its early settlers.
The extension of I-270 and US-33 transformed Dublin from a village into a corporate powerhouse. Cardinal Health and Wendy's established headquarters, Muirfield Village hosted Jack Nicklaus's Memorial Tournament, and the 2010s brought the Bridge Park district — a walkable riverfront of offices, restaurants, and residences that reshaped the city.
Today that corporate and entrepreneurial growth continues — with more small business owners than ever, and more who need clean books to grow with confidence.
Seven core bookkeeping services, all delivered remotely — designed specifically for the pace and complexity of Dublin's growing small business economy.

There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Dublin — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes. Tides was built differently.
We're not a local firm that went remote reluctantly. We were built remote-first from day one, which means faster delivery, better systems, and no overhead passed to you.
One flat rate based on your transaction volume. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no "extra work" fees. You know exactly what you're paying every month.
We don't just hand you a spreadsheet. Clean, readable reports with plain-language summaries — so you can make real business decisions from your financials.
Tax season gets dramatically easier when your books are maintained properly year-round. Most clients report lower CPA bills after working with Tides.
We earn your business every month. No lock-in agreements, no early termination fees. If we're not delivering, you can leave. That keeps us sharp.
All plans include monthly P&L, balance sheet, bank reconciliation, and dedicated support. Payroll bookkeeping support available as an add-on.

I get a clean report every month, my accountant is happy, and I actually know what's going on in my business financially. Couldn't recommend them more."
