Update a field on Case when a Task is Completed

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to update a checkbox field on the Case (Tax_Task_Completed__c) when a task opened against the case is completed. I've looked to do this declaratively, but I don't believe there's a way to do this... Any ideas on a simple trigger that might do the trick?

    In case, If you had to write a trigger, it would be something like following mockup:

     

    trigger task_After on Task (after insert) 
    {
    List<Account> AccountsToUpdate = new List<Account>();
    for (Task t: Trigger.new)
    {
    if (t.Status=='Completed')
    {
    Account a = new Account(Id=t.WhatId);
    a.Account_completion_Status = t.Status;
    AccountsToUpdate.add(a);
    }
    }
       try {
            update AccountsToUpdate; 
        } catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
            system.debug (e);
        }
    }
