Mike Crawford Honored as OSCPA Path Finder Award Recipient

In March 2021, Crawford & Associates founder Mike Crawford was honored as an inductee into the OSCPA Path Finders. To date, only 15 Oklahoma CPAs have been so honored. The Path Finders are an elite group of Oklahoma CPAs recognized for their successful and well respected business accomplishments, community involvement and, most importantly, mentoring new CPAs, welcoming them into the profession and showing them ways to be successful. Honorees are selected based on professional dedication, community involvement and commitment to inspiring the future CPA profession in Oklahoma.

Once again, staff of Crawford & Associates was pleased to participate in the annual OSCPA Day of Service Program on October 18, 2019. The Day of Service program involves Oklahoma CPAs and CPA firms that agree to volunteer for worthy causes that specific day in an effort to give back to their communities. Our group of volunteers have elected to volunteer each year to assist in the preparation for the annual P31 Paint the Town Pink cancer survivor event held at the Chevy Bricktown Event Center in Oklahoma City. Many thanks this year to our firm's volunteers (pictured from left to right in the photo above) - Justin Kersey, Candy Dow, Wendy Moore, David Koehn, and Kyle Sides! 

As part of the firm's ongoing commitment to enhancing the knowledge and skills of municipal officials, in February 2019 Crawford & Associates shareholder Brenda Wright presented a session on Advanced Bank Reconciliations to participants at a training program for the Oklahoma Municipal Clerks, Treasurers and Finance Officers Association. The firm has been actively involved in developing and providing training programs for the OMCTFO for the past 30 years.  

Once again in January 2019, Crawford & Associates managing shareholder Marcy Twyman conducted the Annual OML Budget Workshop sponsored by the Oklahoma Municipal League. For over the past 25 years, Crawford & Associates has prepared and presented this vital training program to Oklahoma municipal officials. OML indicates that this workshop continues to be one of the most popular training programs they offer. Many of the documents and forms discussed in the training program are available on the Useful Tools page of the firm's website. Thank you Marcy for continuing our commitment to the betterment of municipal budgeting, finance and accounting.

Crawford & Associates was proud to have the opportunity to participate in this year's OSCPA CPA Day of Service, an annual event designed for CPAs and CPA firms to give back to their communities by volunteering for a variety of important causes. Once again in 2017, the Crawford group was excited to help out with setting up the OKC Bricktown Chevy Events Center for Project 31's annual Paint the Town Pink Gala held on October 20 honoring breast cancer survivors and the families. Pictured above are this year's volunteers (from left to right) Brenda Wright, Dwayne Tate, Justin Kersey, Mike Crawford, Marcy Twyman, Wendy Moore and Tammy Hunt. Our thanks go out to Sarah at Project 31 for allowing us to help out again and to each of the Crawford staff that were able to volunteer.
