What brings you here?
Different situations call for different support. Choose the path closest to yours. The questionnaire and Discovery Chat confirm the fit.
Built for business owners and the wealth they create.
Too many business owners make important decisions without timely, accurate, and actionable financial information. When accounting is inconsistent and tax planning happens after the fact, it is harder to understand profitability, protect cash flow, plan ahead, and decide with confidence.
We bring bookkeeping, accounting, tax planning, and advisory together, so you can see where you stand, understand what your numbers are telling you, and decide what comes next. Consulting on pricing, costs, operations, and sales processes is scoped separately.
The goal is not simply to keep the books and file the return. It is to help you build a stronger business and make better decisions about the wealth it creates.
Industries we commonly serve
Every industry has its own opportunities, risks, and reporting needs. Your support is built around accurate financial data and proactive guidance for yours.
Tax resolution for IRS notices, tax debt, and unfiled returns.
IRS and tax problems can escalate quickly, from unfiled returns and penalties to notices, collections, and growing balances due. When the situation is unclear, many people delay action, which often makes the problem worse.
We help clients bring order to complex tax issues. We work through the facts, identify the right path forward, and guide you through IRS notices, unfiled returns, tax debt, and other resolution matters, so you can respond with a plan instead of reacting under pressure.
Who this is for
- Individuals with an IRS notice, a balance due, or returns that were never filed
- Businesses facing an IRS notice, tax debt, or unfiled business returns
- Anyone who needs to understand what is owed and what to do first
You do not need to own a business or buy ongoing accounting to get help. Available options depend on your circumstances.
Tax planning and guidance for retirement, estates, trusts, and family legacy.
As families build and transfer wealth, tax decisions become more connected to investments, real estate, business interests, estates, trusts, and long-term goals. Without a coordinated approach, planning opportunities can be missed and transitions can become unnecessarily complex.
We provide proactive tax guidance for individuals and families planning ahead, and help executors, trustees, and beneficiaries with the tax responsibilities that arise when wealth transfers. From the tax side of estate and trust planning to administration, inheritance, and long-term wealth preservation, we help bring the pieces together with your attorney and financial advisor.
Who this is for
- People planning retirement income, inherited assets, or a wealth transfer
- Owners planning a business succession or ownership transfer
- Executors, trustees, beneficiaries, and families handling an estate or an existing trust
You do not need significant wealth to start here. Your attorney handles legal advice, estate documents, and legal administration.
A firm built around the work in front of you.
Business accounting, tax resolution, and retirement, estate, and trust work each call for different experience. Corridor Consulting brings that experience together in one licensed CPA firm and manages the relationship for you.
The right experience for the work
We staff each engagement with professionals whose experience fits it, whether that is monthly accounting, an IRS matter, or an estate or trust.
One relationship, managed for you
Your engagement is with the firm. A designated client manager coordinates questions, documents, and requests, so you are not chasing answers.
Clear responsibilities
Each engagement states what we handle, what you handle, and what your other professionals handle, before the work begins.
Coordination with your professionals
We work alongside your attorney, financial advisor, and fiduciaries. Attorneys handle legal advice, estate documents, and legal administration.
Credentials and memberships

See Business Solutions onboarding →Questions people ask before they start.
Do I need to own a business to work with you?
No. We help individuals and businesses with IRS matters, and we help retirees, people planning a wealth transfer, executors, trustees, beneficiaries, and families. Business Solutions is a separate service for owners and self-employed people.
Can you help with an IRS notice or unfiled returns?
Yes. Select Tax Resolution in the questionnaire. We review the facts, records, compliance needs, and possible next steps. Available options depend on your circumstances, and no particular IRS outcome or debt reduction is guaranteed.
Do you help with retirement tax planning?
Yes. We provide tax guidance for retirees and people planning retirement, including retirement income, inherited assets, and wealth transfer. We coordinate with your other professionals as appropriate. We do not provide investment management.
What if I am an executor or responsible for an existing trust?
Select Estate, Trust & Legacy in the questionnaire and describe your role. We discuss the records, tax filings, accounting needs, states involved, and the support that fits. Your attorney handles legal advice and legal administration.
Will you work with my attorney, financial advisor, or bookkeeper?
Yes. We coordinate with attorneys, financial advisors, bookkeepers, and other professionals as appropriate. The proposed engagement states our responsibilities and the work others handle.
Who will I work with?
You engage Corridor Consulting as a firm. We assign professionals whose experience fits your situation, and a designated client manager coordinates questions, documents, and requests throughout the engagement.
Do you work with clients outside Iowa?
Yes. Corridor Consulting is an Iowa CPA firm headquartered in Cedar Rapids, and we work with clients nationwide, in multiple states. Meetings are remote. During the Discovery Chat we review the states involved, complexity, and scope to confirm the fit.
What happens during the complimentary Discovery Chat?
After the questionnaire, you schedule a 30-minute meeting on Google Meet, with phone dial-in available. We discuss your needs, complexity, fit, and next steps. The conversation does not establish a client relationship or provide individualized tax, accounting, legal, or investment advice.
How are scope and pricing determined?
We review what you need, then explain the recommended support, responsibilities, and investment before you engage us. The starting process depends on the work. Ongoing Business Solutions begins with the 90-day Pathway to Prosperity™ onboarding, and other services follow processes suited to their scope and deadlines.
