Crowe Chizek and Company is one of the Top 10 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accounting and consulting firms, according to Public Accounting Report (PAR).

PAR, a widely circulated independent publication covering the public accounting profession, ranked Crowe seventh in the 2006 survey based on U.S. SEC net revenue. For fiscal year 2006, which ended March 31, 2006, PAR reported Crowe’s net SEC revenue of $83.1 million up 42 percent since the prior fiscal year.

“It’s an honor to be ranked among the nation’s top 10 SEC firms,” said Mark Hildebrand, Crowe CEO. “The company’s strong growth is due to the hard work and dedication of Crowe’s thought leaders and the loyalty of our clients.”

PAR also ranks firms on an overall basis. Crowe Chizek ranks as the eighth largest public accounting and consulting firm according to PAR's Top 100 firms list, released in late 2006.
