The Ahola Corporation

Founded in 1967 by computer programmer Chet Ahola and his wife, data analyst Rheta Ahola, The Ahola Corporation became the world’s longest continuously operating family-focused payroll service provider. Beginning as Keypunch Services and later operating as The Ahola Corporation, it gave many small and mid-sized business clients their first exposure to the power of the computer. Its family-enterprise focus was influenced by Dr. Leon A. Danco, founder of the Center For Family Business in Cleveland, Ohio, and under the continuous management of Chet, Rheta, and their four children, it provided technology-driven solutions primarily in payroll services for the particular needs of family businesses.
