Our expertise and value is in our leadership and staff. Our decade of diverse experience brings incredible value to all of our clients.

Our founder James Yochum, is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who holds a Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA) with an emphasis in Accounting from the University of Iowa, along with a Customer Centric Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification. With a wealth of expertise in business administration, continuous improvement and applying Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), James has been providing consultancy services to start-up and well-established companies since 2013. Having accumulated a decade of experience in dealing with small businesses and large corporations, James possesses extensive knowledge in managing finance and accounting functions for diverse enterprises.

Furthermore, James possesses extensive experience in public tax services, offering invaluable guidance to business owners, high net worth individuals, and their trusts and estates nationwide. By employing his expert tax planning strategies, clients have effectively reduced substantial annual tax liabilities, often deferring or completely eliminating them, thereby preserving their wealth. As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), James is required to undertake 40 hours of continuing education each year to maintain his license. He recognizes the pivotal role of professional development in achieving favorable outcomes for clients. Because of this Corridor Consulting maintains a high standard for our staff, ensuring they receive equivalent training, as we acknowledge the significance of ongoing education. This commitment not only nurtures their individual growth but also facilitates their career advancement within our firm, ultimately benefiting our clients by generating superior results.

Our unwavering dedication to continuous training empowers our team to uncover accounting, business, and tax opportunities year-round—opportunities that may go unnoticed by other professional firms that don’t encompass the entire business accounting and finance processes for which a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) would be responsible. As your CFO, we prioritize staying updated with newly proposed tax legislation in the United States House or Senate, recognizing the importance of being at the forefront of understanding the tax implications of such bills. This enables us to provide timely and well-informed insights to our clients. It’s worth noting that these legislative changes can sometimes have retroactive effects. In such scenarios, we diligently explore the possibility of amending your tax return(s) to potentially secure a tax refund. Our commitment to ongoing training ensures that we deliver proactive and comprehensive services, allowing you to derive the maximum benefit from the ever-evolving tax and financial landscape.

With a wealth of experience assisting individuals and businesses across the nation and in Iowa’s Creative Corridor, our team is excited to have the opportunity to open new doors for you. We are dedicated to providing exceptional service and leveraging our expertise to support your unique goals and aspirations. Whether you are seeking guidance with financial planning, tax strategies, or business development, we are here to help you navigate the path to success. Together, we can unlock new possibilities and embark on a journey towards greater prosperity, we look forward to opening doors for you!

How do I book a consultation or an introduction call?

Prior to onboarding a new client, we conduct a Discovery Session. During that session we will discuss your personal goals and priorities, we will also address any accounting and tax concerns you may have had in the past or may currently have.

The IRS is your largest vendor, by scheduling a Discovery Session we can make sure you’re getting the best terms.

Since we are a CPA Firm with expertise in taxation, we are able to deliver immediate value to you by delivering a detailed tax return risk and strategy assessment offering you strategies on how to minimize audit risk, and reduce the largest cash outflow everyone faces- their taxes!

Crafting Your Roadmap to Wealth: Beyond Tax Loopholes to Strategic Deductions and Wealth Growth

During the Discovery Session you will also have the option to have us begin preparing a tax guide to lower your taxes, increase cash flow and put more money in your pocket every year! Tax loopholes are just a tax deduction that requires specific facts and circumstances to substantiate- we make sure to point out any “loopholes” and follow it up with exactly what you need to do to achieve the desired result. How do we do this? We rely on our tax professionals, to incorporate your goals along with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), to begin utilizing the IRC intelligently and craft a personalized tax strategy guide, or what we call the Roadmap to Wealth. Your customized Roadmap to Wealth will utilize the most advantageous parts of the IRC, and IRS guidance. It’s typical you will recoup the investment of the plan within 1-3 years. After preparing your Roadmap to Wealth, we also dedicate time to help you implement it step-by-step.

Comprehensive Services: Navigating Compliance and Unlocking Opportunities for Growth

Lastly we’ll offer a wide range of customized services, guidance, tax filings and meetings to keep you in compliance and moving forward towards your long-term goals. We can further assist you in establishing a reliable and accurate accounting system, or consulting directly with you on pressing business issues.  We offer ongoing assistance like those listed above through our Monthly Tax Plans & Weekly Accounting Plans. For those of you who may owe the IRS or taxing authorities back taxes, or have been assessed a tax debt via an IRS notice, we will work directly with you in getting you into compliance  by filing prior year returns, and negotiating your tax debt on your behalf.
