I'm generally skeptical of hiring consultants but decided to give Cornerstone a try to help negotiate a renewal of our core processing contract. Their familiarity with competitive industry pricing and contract language brought sunlight and leverage into what would have been a weak negotiating position. And it paid wonderful dividends!

Community banks negotiate and renew our critical vendor contracts with multi-year commitments. Limited information on industry trends and conditions often leaves us negotiating against ourselves. Cornerstone provides both industry knowledge and current market conditions which result in significant immediate and direct benefits to our institutions. Their ethical approach with full transparency results in the ultimate win/win for our institutions.

We recently tasked Cornerstone Advisors with a very tight turn on contract negotiation. They were all hands on deck and were extremely timely in their research, presentation preparation, and delivery request to our vendor. They did the heavy lifting for us and we came along for support. We are so pleased with the outcome of this negotiation. I would highly recommend Cornerstone Advisors

We contacted Cornerstone Advisors following a merger of equals (MoE) announcement. It was critical to go through an expedited core selection and find synergies that aligned with the MoE related to our top vendors. Cornerstone was immediately available and delivered the results we were looking to achieve

The Cornerstone Advisors team is both knowledgeable and professional. They helped us save several million dollars on a key long-term vendor contract and provided sound advice through our benchmarking initiative.
