Welcome to Crawford & Associates

Founded in 1984, Crawford & Associates, P.C. has earned a reputation second to none in the area of governmental accounting and consulting. While the firm is headquartered in Oklahoma City, its clientele includes state and local governments and other organizations throughout the United States and in other countries. In addition to providing accounting and consulting services, the firm is also well recognized for its development of governmental financial management tools, its high quality training programs, and is in high demand for public speaking engagements.

Our vision in 1984 to establish a CPA firm to exclusively serve governments has proven to be ahead of its time, as many professional service firms are now learning the value of specialization. To learn more about us, please go to our About Crawford CPAs page.
