for the past five years.  The Firm has much to offer accounting professionals, as described
below.
 
The overwhelming majority of our partners and senior staff either started with or has
worked many years for the Firm.  Our Firm prefers to promote from within and
advancement is solely dependent on one's ability to handle more challenging work.  We are
one of the few Firms that do not put pressure on our staff to bring in new clients.  If you
possess a strong work ethic, technical competence and imagination, your opportunity for
advancement with Crawford, Pimentel & Co., Inc. is unlimited.
 
Professional growth of our staff is a top priority for our Firm.  We believe in establishing

technology in all areas of our practice.  Every professional is assigned a laptop computer
with the newest tax and accounting tools and research resources.  Further, the Firm
regularly schedules educational classes that qualify for C.P.E. on subjects presented by
senior staff members.
 
As a non-departmentalized firm, our professionals gain experience in all areas of public
accounting such as audit, taxation, management consulting and information technology. 
Audit fieldwork is generally conducted in one or two week time periods.  Pre-audit
conferences are held to discuss the work schedule on upcoming engagements.  Work is
carefully supervised during an engagement, and each staff member's performance is
discussed at the conclusion of each interim and closing audit.
 
Special "training" sessions are also conducted, either in the field or in our office, to
supplement on-the-job training.  Mentors are assigned to new staff members to help
