Past/current involvement with the Goering Center

Cherry Bekaert partners have been members of the Goering Center since 1999. Currently, we are a Corporate Partner sponsor and one of our partners, Karl Dostal, serves on the Goering Center Board of Advisors. Many of our clients are family-owned or privately owned businesses. Because we too started our own business, we understand the passion, the sacrifices and frustrations, the dedication and ultimately the satisfaction that comes from owning your own business.

Special offer for Goering Center Core Members

We would like to offer all Core Members a complimentary session related to two unique specialties:

EOS - Entrepreneurs have a unique sense of drive and dedication to their businesses. Cherry Bekaert understands this, and wants to provide our entrepreneurial clients with the expertise they need to both begin on strong footing, and stay there. The EOS Model™ provides a visual illustration of the Six Key Components™ of any business that must be managed and strengthened to be a great business. This model applies to big and small businesses alike, in any industry, and is the foundation of the program. Learn more about the EOS process by arranging for the signature 90-Minute Meeting with your leadership team and an Cherry Bekaert EOS Implementer. There’s no charge for this meeting, and no obligation. It’s a valuable learning event that will answer all your questions and fully equip you and your team to decide how best to move forward with EOS (or not).

Family Business Advisory - Family businesses require strong foundations, engaging cultures and most importantly, family members who are aligned and cohesive in their long-term vision for the company. Cherry Bekaert’s Family Business Advisory Services Team can help you get there. We have experience in everything from governance to next generation coaching to put your family business in a position to succeed and grow for years to come. We take a team-based, holistic approach to bring a tailored set of service specialties to the table, including everything from family coaching, to exit and succession planning, HR consulting, business valuation and governance, among many others. We invite Core Members to schedule a one hour session free of charge that includes a “family business assessment.”
