“Gulick Group has worked with CST Group for over 20 years, starting with the founder Charles Cocke,” said Amy Swineford, Vice President of Gulick Group. “Since we’re a niche industry in real estate, we needed a firm that could provide hands on attention, had extensive real estate knowledge, and could guide our team in the right direction when making complex decisions. CST Group has been able to accomplish all of the above in addition to providing us with valuable advice on tax entities. When we’re searching for property to build on, we involve CST Group in the process to make sure that we’re not only staying compliant with tax guidelines but also that we’re making a cost-effective business decision for our company.”

The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is a Washington, D.C.-headquartered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, nonpartisan educational foundation that promotes Italian American culture and heritage. NIAF has been a CST Group client for more than 10 years. “We have a very close, established relationship with the CST Group,” says NIAF CFO Alice Bernardi. “They have a strong understanding of our nonprofit organization, our structure, and our mission.” As the leader for NIAF’s tax and audit activities, Bernardi depends on a firm that knows the organization’s needs and objectives. “The CST Group has a wonderfully dedicated and responsive team, and the work is always reliable,” she adds. “I truly enjoy working with them.”

“They have lots of experience in the association world,” says The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) Executive Director David O’Bryon. “They keep up with the ongoing changes in regulations and reporting requirements and have provided us with intelligent advice and guidance to address these changes.” O’Bryon adds that “they are always available and deliver consistent, personal attention to our needs. And the value for the services they offer keeps us coming back to them.”
