Providing innovative solutions to contain and reduce our clients operating costs has been the core business of CornerStone Support Services, Inc. for over ten years. In that time, we have helped hundreds of businesses increase their revenues by implementing cost reduction opportunities, that due to time and staffing confines, remain unexplored by even the most experienced business manager.
CornerStone Support Services was founded by Richard Lafferty and incorporated in 1994. Having spent years analyzing utility and telecommunications accounts as an auditor for a major corporation, Richard recognized that countless companies were untrained and under-staffed in this critical operational component. CornerStone was established to be a resource for those organizations looking to reduce and better manage their telecommunications and utility costs.
Through the years, additional areas of savings outside the utility industry were explored and new product lines were developed to help our clients painlessly increase their profits and remain competitive.
