Health care systems and a growing downtown business district add to a local economy still anchored by manufacturing. An auto parts supplier here tracks production costs and long payment terms against automaker contracts, while a general contractor reconciles subcontractor draws on redevelopment projects downtown. Between large-scale manufacturing, its supply chain and a wave of smaller trade businesses, Detroit's bookkeeping needs run from strict cost accounting to simple job costing. Eastern Time (ET). Detroit runs on Eastern Time, matching our team's 8am to 8pm ET hours hour for hour. ## Detroit tax and compliance notes ### Michigan flat income tax Michigan applies a flat state income tax rate to individuals, and Detroit adds its own city income tax on top for residents and non-resident employees working in the city. Employers need payroll set up to withhold both correctly. ### Michigan sales and use tax Michigan's state sales tax rate is 6 percent, with no additional local sales tax layered on top anywhere in the state, including Detroit. That keeps rate calculation simpler than in most other large metros. ### Michigan corporate income tax Michigan levies a corporate income tax on C-corporations, calculated separately from the individual income tax most pass-through owners pay. Auto suppliers structured as corporations need both income streams tracked and reported correctly. General notes, not advice. Filing is done by you, your CPA, accountant or registered agent; we prepare the workings. ## Industries we serve in Detroit - **[Manufacturing](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/)** Detroit's automotive supply chain needs production costs and long payment terms tracked closely against automaker contracts. - **[Trucking](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/trucking/)** The metro's role in the auto supply chain supports freight and logistics companies that need settlements tracked per load. - **[Construction](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/construction/)** Downtown redevelopment and suburban growth keep contractors reconciling subcontractor draws against project timelines. - **[Retail](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/retail/)** A rebuilding downtown retail and hospitality scene needs daily sales reconciled against inventory and vendor terms. - **[Field services](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/field-services/)** An aging housing stock across the metro keeps home service trades needing jobs billed and collected on time. ## Software Detroit businesses use - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Gusto](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/gusto/) - [Dext](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/dext/) - [Bill.com](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/bill-com/) - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## Services for Detroit businesses - [Bookkeeping](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bookkeeping/) - [Invoicing and billing](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/invoicing-and-billing/) - [Accounts receivable](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/accounts-receivable/) - [Accounts payable](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/accounts-payable/) - [Bank reconciliation](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bank-reconciliation/) - [Month end close](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/month-end-close/) - [All 84 services](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you have an office in Detroit?
