“I was introduced to Managing Partner, Joe Romagnoli, 20 years ago,” says John Spargo, owner of J. Spargo & Associates, Inc. “CST Group has been working with us from the start. They know my company from the inside out and have always guided us in the right direction. Specifically, they have helped us with updating our financial processes, forecasting cash flow, and identifying problem areas that need to be revamped. As a business owner, it can be difficult to keep track of every detail, and CST Group has been a strong resource in helping me do so. I have always trusted CST Group’s professional advice. When I had a prospect interested in acquiring my company, I turned to CST Group for their expertise. CST Group has always produced the highest quality of work, and after 20 years with the firm, I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. CST has been with me through the growth of my business and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a firm to fulfill all of their financial needs.”
“CST Group has not only served as our firm’s CPA,” says Vaughan, Fincher & Sotelo, PC Principal Donna Fincher, “but over the tenure of our longstanding relationship, we’ve referred many individuals who have become mutual clients. We have tremendous confidence in their abilities, both in terms of meeting our law firm’s accounting needs as well as the income tax and other accounting needs of the clients we refer. I know when I refer clients to CST Group that they will receive responsive service and great advice.”
