To this end, our staff is chosen and trained to be highly motivated and competent. As we continue to grow, we plan to keep adding those individuals, that will support our philosophy and commitment.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

Membership is voluntary and requires adherence to rigorous quality control standards. As a member firm, we must adhere to Institute Standards, submit to an independent peer review every three years, and ensure each staff person participates in at least 120 hours of continuing professional development  every three years. We have been successfully reviewed since 1981 (our first peer review), validating that we provide quality service to the public.
