Southern California CPA Firm Receives National Award
Santa Monica-based Certified Public Accounting Firm, Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt LLP ("HCVT"), receives significant national recognition this year. HCVT was bestowed a "Best of the Best" award as one of the Top 25 "Best Managed CPA Firms" in the United States by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA), a national trade publication. "We are very pleased with being awarded this honor two years in a row, since hundreds of CPA firms are evaluated on over 35 criteria ranging from employee retention, revenue per employee and profitability", stated Blake Christian, an HCVT Tax Partner.
This award is based on a firm's relative rankings in connection with overall operating management performance for the 2006 year, and is considered the "gold standard in accounting firm benchmarking" according to Michael Platt, publisher of IPA.
Christian adds: "This award reflects very favorably on both the growth and effective management of HCVT, as well as the quality of our clients and employees". Of the 25 firms receiving this award, HCVT was one of only six that has been in operation for less than 20 years, and one of only two Southern California firms receiving the award.
In a separate survey of the Top 100 CPA firms in the U.S., HCVT was ranked as one of the top three "Fastest-Growing Firms" for calendar 2007, based on a 2006 net revenue increase of over 45%.
HCVT's unique structure of six Southern California offices offers clients, employees, and other professional service providers the opportunity to work together with maximum geographic flexibility.
Christian observes that: "Our multi-office business model allows HCVT to attract and retain topquality clients, partners and staff throughout the Southern California region, while delivering high-value tax, accounting and consulting services to a wide variety of industries and high-networth individuals."
The HCVT Partners are active in their business, alumni and home communities and enjoy providing growth opportunities for their clients, staff and students.
With annualized revenues for the firm approaching $55 million for calendar 2007, and their ability to attract larger clients with expanding accounting and tax needs, HCVT is well positioned for continued strategic growth.
HCVT is also associated with the North American region of Moore Stephens International Limited. HCVT can connect you with knowledgeable professionals in more than 90 countries.
