A CPA trying to stop his wife’s missed tax payments built a fix that snowballed into Remitian.
What started at home now saves firms real money.
In this episode, find out the story of what he built, why it works, and how you can apply the same approach in your firm.
Listen below.
1:16 Since 2009, Larry Hasson has served at McIntyre & Associates, where he is now a director.
1:56 His wife, a physician, faced complex, year-round tax remittances. Larry filed her returns; she was responsible for paying and installments.
2:47 Whenever his wife missed payments, he was forced to spend time recalculating the installments. He then had to identify outstanding amounts, assess potential penalties, and revise the schedule for the months ahead.
4:21 The common pain he saw with his wife and clients pushed Larry to collaborate directly with tax authorities on a compliant, automated payment solution. From that, TaxPay emerged — today called Remitian.
6:27 Larry found a clear gap and created a client-centric tool. Getting there required MSB registration, collaboration with tax authorities, and rigorous compliance.
8:22 You don’t need to become a developer or incorporate a new company like Larry. But you should stay open to what’s possible.
10:17 Start with pain points. Lean into innovation. Ask, “How can I make this easier for clients?” That’s how leaders pull ahead of the pack.
