  3. Eliminate client inconvenience.
  4. Truly understand the unique, individual needs of each client and know each client by name, not simply as a number or revenue figure.
  5. Continuously adapt to the modern era by leveraging technology and evolving business models.

What is it about Cornerstone CPA Solutions that sets it apart from most other CPA Firms?

Let’s not not bore you with background details that apply to virtually every CPA and CPA Firm. Indeed, every CPA must pass the same four exams and demonstrate the same minimum required level of competency for serving the public. Instead, let’s look at what sets Cornerstone CPA Solutions apart from other Firms: accessibility and personalized services, timely responses, and knowing you as a business and individual. Without a doubt, it all revolves around the amazing concept of proper communication. We stay in touch. We will avoid letting you fall behind because you, as a client, are more than a client number or revenue figure. Imagine this: we know you!

You will not be inconvenienced having to work around a CPA Firm’s schedule. Your schedule and convenience is priority. In being a virtual Firm, our schedule can align with yours–not vice versa! Regardless of your physical location, Cornerstone will do its absolute best to work around your schedule, while remaining as hands-on or as virtual and remote as you desire. What will you learn about us as a client? Just how flexible we are, and how we truly care about our clients!

Are there services we do not provide?

Yes. Cornerstone CPA Solutions does NOT provide any attestation services such as reviews and audits.

Our areas of experience remain business advisory, accounting, controllership, policies and procedures, internal controls, Prepared Financial Statements, and taxation. 

Why is Cornerstone called “Cornerstone” CPA Solutions?

Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s definition of “cornerstone” is a basic element, a foundation. With structures built of stone or block, there is at least one stone or block that is so fundamental to the structure’s integrity that its removal could result in collapse. Cornerstone CPA Solutions stands strong in the belief that no business will succeed without having a strong foundation. That foundation can take many forms, just as the foundation of a structure contains many forms and elements. Remove any particular element and you risk failure. Cornerstone CPA Solutions is not about failure.

Accounting happens to be one of the foundational components of all businesses–without it, you will have no idea where you stand currently, let alone where you are headed. Realistically, if you run your business without solid accounting, you are at extreme risk of failure because you have no ability to plan to achieve your objectives.

God is also a cornerstone, and certainly in how Cornerstone CPA Solutions goes about conducting client services. Psalm 37:23-24 (NIV) states “The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.” Running a business is no doubt challenging. You will stumble. And you need a strong foundation and support team to help catch you and guide you back to where you need to go. Matthew 7:24-27 discusses building a house on rock versus sand. A business is no different. Do not place yourself in a position of collapsing when you stumble or troublesome times come your way.
