About Us
Our Story
We have spent our lives with nonprofits, entrepreneurs and small businesses. We have journeyed with them as they began and participated in their exciting growth. We have weathered together the impacts of hard times, recessions and the launch of new initiatives. We have learned how to help organizations stay focused on their vision while doing daily operations. We have given expertise when they needed it, and have become a partner that understands their dynamics and compliance requirements.
Our Approach
Our unique approach to services involves being an integral part of your team. We will become familiar with your organization; your stakeholders, the day to day operations, and of course your financial requirements.
We want to be there for you when you need us. We have the expertise to be an important resource for your organization on a part-time, full-time or project basis. From strategic CFOs focusing on what matters to you most, to technically sound controllers, to experienced bookkeepers, C3 Accounting Solutions offers talent to take your organization to the next level.
Our Tools
When you are driving your car, looking through the rear-view mirror may not the best way to get you to your destination. Likewise, standard compliance reports serve a specific need, but they are like looking in that rear-view mirror. What you need to drive results is a clear view of the road ahead and a dashboard full of up-to-the-minute information about your progress toward your goals. We use cloud accounting tools with dashboards customized to give you the information you need in real time.
