Fairmont State is one of Fairmont's distinctive business communities. The university district and surrounding area. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving Fairmont State.
As part of the greater Fairmont, WV economy within Marion County, Fairmont State businesses share the same West Virginia tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Fairmont you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
West Virginia is cutting its income tax - a graduated tax topping at 4.82% for 2026, down from 6.5% a few years ago and still falling - and charges a 6% state sales tax (some home-rule cities add up to 1%). But the distinctive thing is local: many West Virginia municipalities levy a Business & Occupation (B&O) tax, a gross-receipts tax on a business's total receipts with no deduction for costs, by classification. Charleston levies it instead of a municipal sales tax; Huntington adds it on top of a 1% city sales tax. Knowing whether a local B&O applies - and reporting gross receipts right - is exactly what we keep clean.
