LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Zamzow Group, Inc. a woman-owned
accounting services firm providing seasoned professionals for long-term
projects, interim staffing and direct hire positions, has received national
certification as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women's Business
Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) provides the most
widely recognized and respected certification in the United States for women
business enterprises (WBEs). The WBE certification is highly valued, due to
the stringent screening process under the guidelines of WBENC's Standards &
Procedures, and assures that all firms are legitimately owned, managed, and
controlled by women.
WBENC's national standard of certification is a meticulous process
including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The
certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51
percent owned, operated and controlled by a woman. Brenda Zamzow-Frazier,
founder, has operated the company as president since 2003. Zamzow-Frazier's
extensive experience building, strengthening and leading the financial
function for corporations in various stages has propelled The Zamzow Group as
the foremost company reshaping how financial synergy takes places throughout
major businesses in Southern California.
"The Zamzow Group strives to provide the very best accounting and finance
talent available in the marketplace. Receiving national certification marks a
milestone for our company as it validates our business model and our approach
to serving companies throughout Southern California who are committed to
diversity initiatives," said Brenda Zamzow-Frazier. "This will only help us in
our expansion to providing value to larger corporations and government
agencies."
By including women-owned businesses among their vendors, corporations
demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued
development of their supplier diversity programs. Zamzow-Frazier currently
works with Southern California Edison, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. and Ernst &
Young, all of which have formalized programs in place.
"Corporations work to increase their diversity spend through the inclusion
of Women Business Enterprises (WBE) in their supply chains. WBE certification
serves as a tool to connect woman owned businesses with corporate supplier
diversity departments. Through these connections, WBEs are able to gain access
to potential procurement opportunities," said Pamela Williamson, Executive
Director of WBEC-West.
For The Zamzow Group, this certification is accepted by over 700 major
corporations, non-profit organizations, as well as many local, state, and
federal government agencies. WBENC certification is an important marketing
tool for expanding The Zamzow Group's visibility and access to partnerships
and business opportunities previously not available.
In addition to its recent WBENC certification, The Zamzow Group has also
achieved certification by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC),
is a Certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and is also a California State
Certified Small Business (CSCSB).
The Zamzow Group maintains leadership positions in several professional
and community-based organizations including the National Association of Women
Business Owners (NAWBO), ProVisors, California Women's Foundation, and the
Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles.
