Who is John Viel?

I’m John Viel, owner of J Viel Bookkeeping and a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor helping small business owners maintain clean, accurate, CPA-ready books.

As a U.S. Navy veteran, I built my career on discipline, integrity, and accountability. I bring those same standards to my bookkeeping work today.

Before starting my bookkeeping practice, I spent 30 years in the automotive industry, including 28 years managing sales and finance operations. In that high-stakes environment, I learned firsthand that a business is only as strong as its financial records. Accurate reporting, compliance, and attention to detail weren’t optional—they were essential.

Today, I apply that same level of precision to helping small businesses gain clear financial insight, reduced stress at tax time, and confidence in their numbers.

Based in Lancaster, Ohio, I proudly serve small businesses throughout Central Ohio and the Columbus metro area, including Hilliard, Dublin, Reynoldsburg, Pickerington, Circleville, and Canal Winchester.
