Wage and income reporting leader builds market share with California company

Greatland Corporation, the Michigan-based W-2, 1099 and 1095 specialist, today announced the acquisition of Marin County, Calif.-based Aabet Business Systems.

Aabet Business Systems has been in business for over 30 years and provides checks and tax forms and related services to businesses. The Aabet Business Systems acquisition is Greatland Corporation’s third in the past five years, and is effective immediately.

Greatland and Aabet Business Systems owner Shelli Clay have partnered for the last 13 years on business checks, envelopes, and W-2 and 1099 forms, often with Greatland drop-shipping products directly to Aabet customers.

“Taking care of customers has always been my primary concern, and I know they are in excellent hands with Greatland,” Clay said. “Their team is highly trained, exceptionally knowledgeable and committed to service at every level.”

Since 1974, Greatland has been providing wage and income reporting products and services to businesses of all sizes. Greatland’s unique culture provides personalized service from dedicated account managers, each with more than 10 years of experience providing businesses with reporting guidance. From paper forms to software and online filing, Greatland finds the best solution to fit budget and business needs.
