At Ahola, we believe great service goes beyond processing payroll. It means looking for opportunities to help our clients reduce costs, resolve issues, and keep more of their hard-earned money.
We're proud to announce another major milestone.
As of August 1, 2026, Ahola has helped clients recover more than $1,038,348 in Ohio unemployment refunds through our ProActive Taxation initiative.
This achievement comes just two years after launching the program and represents our continued commitment to delivering exceptional value long after implementation.
Many employers don't realize they may have money waiting in their Ohio unemployment account. Through proactive account reviews, our team routinely identifies opportunities to recover funds by:
Every refund is different, but the goal is always the same: helping our clients receive every dollar they're entitled to.
Beyond recovering funds, our ProActive Taxation program has helped more than 280 businesses secure lower unemployment tax rates and ongoing tax savings.
Best of all, Ahola does not charge clients for this work.
For us, the reward isn't a fee—it's knowing we're providing the level of service our clients deserve. Helping businesses lower their tax costs, improve account accuracy, and navigate complex unemployment regulations is simply part of being a trusted payroll and HR partner.
Every new client receives a thorough review of their unemployment account, and our existing client base continues to benefit from random quarterly wellness audits. These proactive reviews help uncover opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed.
