Patricia J. Farber

Farber Hass Hurley LLP is a leader in providing quality audit, accounting and tax services to our clients. The difference in our firm is evidenced in our mission, National Firm Experience with Local Attention. Most of the Partners gained their experience at national firms; Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG. This invaluable experience has helped create a firm that gives our clients greater access and hands-on experience by our management team versus our competitors. CEOs and CFOs can have immediate answers to their accounting and tax questions rather than wait for a response from a Partner they rarely see or one that resides in an office in another state.

We pride ourselves on focusing our practice on audit, accounting and tax services. Accordingly we are registered with both the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Canadian Public Accountability Board, and belong to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Center for Audit Quality and the Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center. We not only advocate quality in our services, our Partners demonstrate this by their leadership in positions such as Chair of the Peer Review Committee of California, member of the National Peer Review Committee of the AICPA and Chair of the Audit Committee of the California Society of CPAs.

As a professional service firm, we realize that our team is our #1 asset. We could not provide quality service without a quality team. It is no wonder that Farber Hass Hurley LLP is rated as one of the Top Firms in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties with offices in California and Arizona to serve our clients.
