AccuPay was established in 1994 to provide more personalized, expert, local payroll/tax/HR services to Central Indiana employers. Owner Larry Shaub, a long-time Greenwood CPA, identified that many small-to-medium-sized businesses/non-profits were not pleased with their services from the large, national payroll/HR companies. AccuPay was formed to provide a boutique level of expertise and customer service to local employers, and today works with over 1,100 employers.
