Not your typical accounting firm

LWS Tax & Accounting Services was founded in 2008 by Owner and President, Blake Shaffer. From the beginning, LWS embraced resourcefulness and forward-thinking, shaping the essence of the firm.

The name LWS holds a special place in the firm's history. It stands for Landon William Shaffer, Blake's son, who was a source of inspiration from the moment he was born. Landon lived a remarkable life, defying the limitations of Menkes Disease, a genetic disorder he was born with. His strength, resilience, and impact on those around him became the guiding light for the firm. Landon passed away in 2022, but his legacy lives on forever in LWS, a constant reminder of the power of perseverance and the potential to make a significant impact.

Today, LWS has evolved from its local startup roots into a trailblazer in the accounting arena, gaining recognition as one of the leading firms in the area. Its influence extends beyond Ohio, reaching clients across the United States. The firm’s growth is fueled by an enduring desire to push boundaries and redefine the traditional concept of accounting, cementing its reputation as one of the most unconventional innovators in the industry.

At the core of LWS is a passionate team of experienced professionals who bring their expertise and enthusiasm to every challenge. They've turned LWS into more than just an accounting firm – it's a lively and engaging experience for each and every client.
