Adam Robinson is managing partner of Hartman, Blitch & Gartside CPAs. He serves clients in the area of audit, tax and consulting.

A licensed CPA since 1988, Adam is a Jacksonville-born financial professional with hands-on business and technical experience in a variety of industries. His background and skills enable him to understand the issues facing businesses, and provide guidance for their financial operations.

After graduating from the Episcopal School of Jacksonville, Adam earned his accounting degree from the University of Richmond in 1987. While working full-time, he earned his MBA from the University of North Florida in 1994.

Adam’s professional career spans more than 30 years in accounting and finance. After working as a financial professional for several companies, he leveraged his expertise by starting his own business, providing controllership services to businesses.

In 2002, Adam became a partner at Patrick & Robinson CPAs. He bought Hartman, Blitch & Gartside CPAs in 2018 and embarked on updating the firm’s client services, modernizing its technology and improving its accessibility, adding an office at the Jacksonville Beaches.

In 2019, the firm’s main office moved to a more central Jacksonville location, in the Southpoint area, and Adam implemented a 21st-century work environment.

Long before COVID-19, and thanks to the firm’s innovative and evolving wireless technology, members of the HBG team began working remotely on a rotating basis, enabling staff to take calls while working at a client’s location or from home. This added workplace flexibility, allowed fewer long commutes for the HGB crew, and provided a well-deserved work-life balance.

In his personal time, Adam enjoys traveling with his wife Marti, soaking up the sun at the beach and perfecting his golf game.

Cory grew up in the U.S. Air Force and lived in seven states and two foreign countries. This experience instilled a deep love of travel, which is his favorite hobby/pastime. When not working or traveling, you can find Cory spending time with his wife, cooking, and playing cards.

Jeffrey Cummings is the senior member of the HBG team, having joined the firm that became Hartman, Blitch & Gartside CPAs in 1980.

Jeff’s long-term commitment isn’t just to work: he’s been an active volunteer with his church’s youth group for more than 35 years. When he’s not mentoring other people’s kids, he enjoys time with his own grandchildren. If you can’t find Jeff anywhere else, look for his fishing pole: if it’s missing, you’ll know where to find him!
