Crabtree CPA & Associates is a broad-based professional certified public accounting and consulting firm. We will proactively pursue and respond to the needs of clients by rendering a wide range of high-quality professional services commensurate with our collective abilities and representing true value in relation to cost. Although we will continue to operate the firm in conformance with sound business practices, we will remain a professional firm with our primary emphasis on serving, not profit.

Crabtree CPA & Associates is guided by our Philosophy that is based on certain core values and perhaps best expressed in condensed form by the Golden Rule: ” Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You.” It is symbolized by the Crabtree CPA & Associates gold ruler and implied in the Crabtree CPA & Associates motto: ” We Care.” We care about our clients, we care about our work, we care about our families and our communities, and we care about each other.

Although the Crabtree CPA & Associates Philosophy can be summarized by the Golden Rule, it is comprised of many principles, such as those in our Statement of Principles namely: Service, Ethics, Recruitment, Compensation, Individual Progress, Advancement, Teamwork, Delegation, Education, Leadership, Individual Freedom, Communication, Decision Making, the Common Good and Balance.

These important principles include fairness; doing everything for the individual up to the point of harming the team; helping the individual and our clients to become all that they are capable of becoming; optimizing, rather than maximizing, our financial success; and doing what is right for the right reasons, with the major emphasis on the long-range consequences of our decisions.

Although we will continue to expand and refine the Principles embodied in the Crabtree CPA & Associates Philosophy, our emphasis will be on communicating, exemplifying and living the Golden Rule day in and day out.
