cPr Business Services is a family-owned small business dedicated to providing reliable accounting and management solutions for private schools, churches, and non-profit organizations. We specialize in serving schools in need of a Business Manager and faith-based organizations seeking accurate, transparent accounting support.

The company was founded in 2020 by Carmen, who began offering social media management for small businesses during the pandemic. With a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems Management, Carmen brought strong organizational and technology skills to the business, laying the groundwork for future growth.

Soon after, Robert—an experienced accounting professional with a background in business management—expanded the company’s services to include accounting. Having worked in the for over 30 years accounting field for non-profit organizations and preparing personal income taxes for over two decades, Robert recognized the unique need of private schools that could not afford a full-time Business Manager. His expertise allowed cPr Business Services to bridge that gap, providing schools and non-profits with the financial oversight they need to operate effectively.

Rounding out the team are Reyna, who holds a degree in economics and Claresha, with her accounting degrees, working closely with Robert to process financial reports and manage all client correspondence.

At cPr Business Services, our mission is simple: to help our clients maintain financial integrity, streamline operations, and focus on what matters most—their mission.
