Most Accountants Stop At The Tax Return.

Most businesses get started with an annual CPA that files the tax return, and the bookkeeping gets handled however it can: the owner, a spouse, an outside service.

That works while the business is small, but as you grow, payroll gets heavier, filings multiply, and tax bills get harder to see coming.

Each provider handles their piece, but no one owns the whole picture.

So the job falls to you.

One Team That Owns The Whole Picture.

Ownership means one team accountable for everything In practice, that includes:

Bookkeeping

Monthly financials kept current, not cleaned up once a year.

Payroll

Run for you and filed across every Ohio city your crews work.

Tax

Planned ahead in summer and late fall, so nothing lands on you at filing.

The goal is to take work off your plate. If our team already has the access or the answer, we handle it instead of sending you to find it, and when something needs your attention, we reach out first.

Testimonials

I had a very twisted case of PA state where they owed me close to 4k refund 2018 , the case was messed up by my employer and my Regular CPA whom i worked with for 8 years , i was completely disheartened by the way my CPA and the PA State Tax office handled my case.

I contacted Sarah Beeching of Launch Accounting and upon hearing me out she sounded bewildered that how can the events happen. She then filed a revised return and then an Appeal with PA State Tax office, she patiently followed up with them , did the needful to comply their requirements and VOILA i got my full refund she is a thorough Professional and lift up my belief that results can be achieved thro patience and capable handling. Thank you Sarah !!
