DJL Accounting & Consulting Group last year put an emphasis on keeping clients up to date on new requirements and deadlines. As a result, filings and compliance remained on track throughout the year – not just during tax season, says Debra Rodway, president. 

The Austintown, Ohio, firm also expanded its services. It introduced notary services, including in-office, online and mobile appointments. 

Integrated marketing services were also added to support business clients with social media, content and promotional needs. These additions reflect the firm’s effort to respond to client needs as they evolve.

Internally, the company emphasized team culture and staff development. The team shared a trip to Disney World to celebrate the firm’s progress.

The firm’s service to the community included sponsoring Clothed in Strength’s purse bingo, which raised more than $106,000 to support single mothers in the Mahoning Valley. 

Looking ahead, DJL will continue investing in technology, staff development and internal processes that serve clients, Rodway says. 

Founded in 2000, the firm provides tax and accounting services, consulting, payroll, notary, marketing and business support services.
