Orange County Firm’s 13.4 percent growth rate earns honors in INSIDE Public Accounting’s National Benchmark Report

IRVINE, Calif., October 30, 2012 – Irvine-based Haskell & White LLP, one of Southern California’s largest independently owned accounting, auditing and tax consulting firms, has been named one of the Fastest Growing Firms in the West by INSIDE Public Accounting’s (IPA) National Benchmarking Report.

The IPA Report is one of the most complete, independent, up-to-date sets of economic and management statistics available about the accounting profession. Haskell & White was recognized as one of the Fastest Growing Firms in the West, with a growth rate of 13.4 percent for 2012 (based on fiscal year 2011-2012 data).

“This outstanding recognition is due to our dedicated partners and staff who work tirelessly to provide clients with value and service that exceeds expectations,” said managing partner Wayne Pinnell. “We continue to grow and prosper with our clients because of our talented and committed team.”

In the past 12 months, Haskell & White has hired 12 new accountants to the tax and audit teams, and expects to hire six more in the year ahead.

For more than 20 years, IPA has provided benchmarks and rankings based on an Annual Survey and Analysis of participating firms nationwide. The 2012 IPA Report contains information representing more than 430 firms, 20,000 partners and almost 200,000 staff.
