Whalen Partner Richard Crabtree is known for providing Five-Star service to clients. Recently he was recognized by a national organization for consistently serving fellow members with the same high level of quality service.

At the annual symposium in June of Enterprise Worldwide (EW), an alliance of independent accounting firms working together to provide the best possible service to clients on a worldwide basis, Richard won the organization’s 2013 Brand Ambassador Award. The award is presented to the individual who gains tremendous benefit from his or her interaction with CPAs and other professionals in the EW network and gives even more back through consistently serving fellow members with Five-Star client service.

Enterprise Worldwide provides a pool of knowledge and experience that is available to member firms whenever needed. Through meetings, conferences, workshops and networking, Whalen’s partners are continually learning information and exchanging ideas.

Membership in EW enables our firm to provide the best possible service to our clients by utilizing the expertise of the professional staff of member EW firms with national and international resources for the benefit of our clients.

Whalen has been the recipient of four other national awards presented by Enterprise Worldwide.

The awards recognize the firm’s focus on providing Five-Star service to clients and for the quality and commitment of the firm’s management and support staff in ensuring oustanding service to clients and colleagues.

In 2010 Linda Nay, the firm’s administrator and associate director since 2008, was selected as the Top Firm Administrator among Enterprise Worldwide’s member accounting firms. The firm also won the national award for top marketing initiative.

The following year Tracy Ceritelli was
 recognized as the Top
 Director of First Impressions, an award honoring an individual who is an integral
 team member and excels at creating a Five-Star client service experience for everyone with whom he or she comes into contact. The firm also won the Five-Star Service Award.
