Services
At Blue Slate Accounting, we're dedicated to providing personalized accounting and tax services. Lauri is a Beaver County native who grew up in Baden and now lives in North Sewickley Township. After spending 26 years working for the Commonwealth of PA, she opened Blue Slate Accounting so that she could do what she loves most - help clients create profits and grow their businesses through her bookkeeping, accounting, and tax expertise.
At Blue Slate, we're not interested in simply managing your books. Instead, we take your business personally. That's why we partner closely with each of our clients to provide expert accounting services-from bookkeeping to accounts payable to payroll-while providing consultative accounting advice to streamline your business and accounting processes.
Blue Slate Accounting is a full-service provider of tax solutions for both individuals and businesses in the Pittsburgh region and western Pennsylvania. Whether you have a question on how to file your taxes correctly or need to navigate the intricacies of an IRS audit, we can help.

Our team is made up of Certified Tax Professionals and an IRS Enrolled Agent, meaning we have training on the federal level to deal with the toughest IRS issues-while still having the knowledge to deal with tax woes on the State and Local level.We specialize in getting you the most money you're legally entitled to.
Accounting is the lifeblood of every business. You need sales to make money, but those revenues need to pay off your vendors and employees before you earn a profit. While you don't need to take an accounting course at your local community college, understanding the basics of accounting is essential for running any business, and it'll make you a better entrepreneur.
We pride ourselves in providing premier accounting and tax services in the Pittsburgh region. As a dedicated team of accounting professionals, we're focused on helping companies save money while reducing waste. When you outsource your accounting with Blue Slate Accounting, you know you'll get the best service possible.

Report
Lauri was not very professional. She did a clean up for me and when I contacted her regarding the file access that was suppose to expire on 3/20/19 she became very irate. She was unwilling to provide me my file info. I would not recommend this service. I reached out on 4 or 5 occasions with no response. My account and I sat down for 2 hours trying to figure out how the reconciliation didn't match the QB file or bank statements. The remittance uploaded were added to the QB file but not against the invoice already in the QB file. It looks like my income is double. Horrible service provider for $750

We have worked with Lauri for the past two years. We have been very pleased with her services as she offers personal attention and goes above and beyond. She helped us streamline our payroll, given us financial/tax advice on business decisions, and she processes our personal taxes. She is a wealth of information. We highly recommend her and her team.

Lauri and her team are amazing! Very prompt responses with complete answers to questions. I had a fairly complicated tax year last year and they made it super easy to get everything filed. Ended up saving a TON of money that I wouldn't have saved if I hadn't gone to them. Will DEFINITELY be coming back!

Lauri Paxton is one of the best bookkeepers I have ever worked with. She is extremely attentive to detail and one of the the most organized individuals I have ever worked with. Her bookkeeping services are worth checking out. She has high expectations of her clients, but in the end delivers on almost everything she promises. If you are an unorganized person, she is someone you might want to work with! She helped me tremendously!
