Free of conflicting interests, Longnecker & Associates is a compensation and corporate governance consultancy sustained by Independence, Integrity and Innovation and the talent within its four walls. Chairman, Brent Longnecker and Executive Director, Chris Crawford built a strong foundation, who in 2003 formed L&A after years with Deloitte & Touche and KPMG Peat Marwick. Mr. Longnecker was recognized among the top 25 consultants in the U.S. by Consulting Magazine, and believes the award was not possible without the team that works alongside him. The Houston Business Journal just awarded Longnecker and Associates one of the Top 10 Best Places to Work in Houston with less than 100 employees.
