Covid-19 Lobby Closure
We want to make sure both our EMPLOYEES and CLIENTS stay healthy!
Due to the Ohio Governor’s “Stay at Home” Order, our office building will be closed through April 6th. We have a drop box to the left of our front door available for your use. Tax filing deadline has been moved to July 15th, so drop off and pickup of tax returns is suspended until the Governor lifts the “Stay at Home” order.
We will continue to work behind the scenes’ and will be monitoring our phones and emails, daily.
Please be patient with us, and we will return your emails and phone calls as soon as we can.
We will continue to process payroll's for our business clients to make sure employees get paid.
