Certified Public Accounting
   
We have never deviated from our mission of helping people and being dedicated to our
clients’ success.  Our commitment to the accounting profession is evident by our people. 
Each candidate is selected on the basis of outstanding academic achievement, leadership
and enthusiasm for client understanding and service.  All of our personnel participate in
regular training, seminars, continuing education programs and conferences to keep us razor
sharp on changing laws, principles and practices.  We are members of the California Society
of Certified Public Accountants and the Tax Practice and Financial Planning Sections of 
the American Institute of CPAs.  We have successfully completed quality peer reviews approved by the AICPA.  The external peer reviews help our professionals continually
maintain the quality of their work and are indicative of our commitment to excellence. 
Crawford, Pimentel & Co., Inc.’s success rests firmly on the founding principles of quality,
integrity, spirit and service that its founders embodied.  These principles flourish today
among members of an enthusiastic, dynamic group of professionals which collectively
assure the firm a strong place in tomorrow’s market.  We are large enough to handle the
demands of our clients yet small enough to provide the personalized service which our
clients should expect.
