Through our proactive wellness audits, which are conducted at random to ensure accuracy and excellence in every client’s experience, we’ve uncovered a surprising number of overpayments sitting unclaimed in the Ohio Unemployment (ODJFS) system. These refunds are often left behind—sometimes due to errors or oversights from previous providers—but we make it our mission to ensure no dollar is left on the table. We're proud to report that we’ve already recovered $702,897.76 in refunds for our clients—and that total continues to grow every day. These audits involve a deep, detail-oriented review of client unemployment tax accounts. In many cases, we’ve found overpayments spanning multiple periods, and when we do, our dedicated Taxation team—led by Director of Taxation, Thomas Hall—takes swift action to validate and recover those funds. As Tom explains: > “We complete these audits to ensure our clients receive the best experience possible. When we find discrepancies, regardless of the timeframe, we work hard to resolve them—often resulting in meaningful refunds for our clients.” These surprise savings are being delivered across industries—from childcare to construction, martial arts to marketing, and everything in between. We’re thrilled to share just a few highlights from the many clients we've helped: --- ### [Otherworld](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7319004345386110978) As a new client, Otherworld was surprised (and thrilled) to recover funds overlooked by their previous provider. ### [Noll Holdings LLC](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7272585538681901056) Significant refund, real results. ### [All About Kids Childcare and Learning Center](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7271919046374088704) A major win for Director Madeline Short, thanks to our attention to detail. ### [International Karate Centers Inc.](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7270107112658063360) Focused savings, big impact. ### [Fitzgibbons Arnold & Company Agency Inc](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7269719551125159936) Another refund delivered—one of many to come. ### [Bill’s Blue Ribbon Automotive Inc](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7267212384652431361) Driving savings forward. ### [A&S Animal Control LLC](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7266824225666084865) Proof that even smaller organizations can see big results. ### [Sage Partners LLC – Insurance](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7265094425935015937) One of *79 refund checks* we secured in just one week—totaling $124,229.85! ### [TapDancing Lizard LLC](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7257464446728466433) Just one part of our $225,000+ in recovered funds (and growing!). ### [ROTH Construction Columbus Co LLC](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7255594269283954689) Another success in the construction sector. ### [Hopewell Federal Credit Union](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7254485211403415552) Helping financial institutions uncover unexpected opportunities. ### [Gross Builders](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7253034672664801281) Building savings brick by brick. ### [YWCA Elyria/Lorain](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7247260630863216640) A mission-driven organization receives unexpected support. ### [Gastronics](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7242180601619914752) Gas detection, big discovery. ### [Enza Financial](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7240356806445707264) CFO Diane Hackman was delighted by the unexpected windfall. ## What This Means for You If you're an Ahola client, this is just one of the many ways we go above and beyond.
