About us

Our Company

Since 1990, C.S. Business Management has been providing quality, personalized tax and bookkeeping services to local individuals and businesses. C.S. Business Management's expertise ranges from basic tax management and accounting services to more in-depth services such as tax representation, business management, and financial planning.

The strength of any professional services firm lies in the caliber of personnel who lend their expert advice and perform work on behalf of clients. To that end, three core values inform all of our endeavors:

Competency

We are subject matter experts. Beyond our professional training and certification, we keep abreast of relevant trends and changes in accounting treatment, tax law, and financial management as well as industry-specific issues that affect our clients. Our consultative advice reflects proven practices that adhere to regulatory requirements while protecting our clients’ best interests. Our internal systems and controls ensure that we deliver quality work products.

Professionalism

We treat each client with dignity and respect. We listen attentively to their goals, needs, issues, and concerns. We tailor our engagements to address near term requirements and work collaboratively to transform ambitions into reality. We pride ourselves in delivering services on schedule and within budget.

Commitment

Our relationships with clients extend beyond financial recordkeeping and reporting. We genuinely care about their well-being and work diligently to help them succeed personally and professionally. Our hard work and responsiveness contribute to a stellar reputation in the communities we serve.
