Operating out of the Southwest, Corcoran will act as a professional liaison to the construction CPA community.<\/p>\n<p>Corcoran, a CPA, began his relationship with Foundation Software over 20 years ago. \u201cI would love to tell the story of how John and I first met,\u201d said founder and CEO Fred Ode. \u201cReally we just ran into each other at so many conferences. The friendship developed over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hit it off,\u201d Corcoran agreed. \u201cCPAs have always been a priority for Foundation, which I think was ahead of the curve. I have respect for Fred and the culture at Foundation. Interacting with this amazing company has always been enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Corcoran built a young CICPAC organization from a small group of firms into a national network serving over 11,000 contractors, and Ode built a little family company into one of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S. In 2006, Foundation and CICPAC announced an <a href=\"https:\/\/www10.giscafe.com\/nbc\/articles\/1\/289332\/Foundation-Software-Becomes-CICPAC-Business-Partner?-Relationship-Will-Enable-Foundation-Software-Offer-CICPAC-Member-Firms-Their-Construction-Clients-Special-Services-Focused-Toward-Business-Improvement\">official partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Corcoran entered a triumphant semiretirement in 2018 after concluding his successful 24-year tenure leading CICPAC. \u201cI absolutely loved my job and working with everyone at CICPAC. Here I am thinking I\u2019m retired, and Fred approached me about the possibility of working with them. I could not say yes fast enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ode added, \u201cI\u2019m extremely flattered after so many years John would choose to finish out an accomplished career with us. I\u2019ve considered him a great professional in the industry, and I\u2019ve considered John a great friend. It\u2019s exciting to be able to work more closely with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his new role, Corcoran will be vital in continuing to introduce firms with a construction emphasis to Foundation and its products, chiefly <a href=\"\/\">FOUNDATION\u00ae construction accounting software<\/a> and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.payroll4construction.com\/\">Payroll4Construction.com<\/a> processing service. He will also help bridge CPAs to continuing education and training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the perfect retirement,\u201d said Corcoran. \u201cIt gives me a chance to stay in the industry and work again for a very respectable company.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_John_Corcoran\"><\/span>About John Corcoran<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>John Corcoran, CPA (inactive) is a CPA liaison for Foundation Software and former executive director of CICPAC.
