Carlos was born and raised in Lima, Peru. By belonging to a family of accountants, his exposure to the accounting profession started early by performing physical inventories during his school breaks in the summer. After graduating from high school, Carlos tried to break the family cycle and was accepted into the Arts Program at the Catholic University in Lima. After two years, Carlos decided to follow his genetic calling and transferred to the Universidad San Martin de Porres' to focus on accounting. After his first semester, Carlos began his auditing career by joining the CPA firm Pizarro, Coloma & Asociados.

Carlos A. Davis joined Harrington Group in 1999 from JLV Home Health Care Agencies, a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles, where he worked as an Accounting Manager. At JLV Carlos embraced the passion of working in the nonprofit sector and it is where he first encountered the need for individuals to receive services and closely witnessed the outstanding work that nonprofit organizations perform in order to fulfill those needs.
At Harrington Group, Carlos works closely with many of the firm's government-funded nonprofits. His client areas include residential programs, foster family agencies, mental health service providers, non-public schools, vocational training agencies, child care agencies and legal services corporations. Fluent in English and Spanish, he especially enjoys interacting personally with people at all levels within his clients' operations, and building relationships that extend far beyond the engagement at hand.
Since arriving in Los Angeles many years ago, Carlos has always been a big Lakers fan. Lakers paraphernalia is always guaranteed to be displayed by him during the season. Carlos' additional passions include attending soccer matches and Formula 1 racing events. Carlos' perfect vacation is traveling to coastal cities with his wife, daughter, and son while relaxing on the sand "doing nothing" as a way to break from his daily routine.

Sean E. Cain joined Harrington Group in 1996 and has never looked back. Sean's steadfast belief in the firm's core values of "knowledge, service, and respect" has catapulted him into a position of value to all of the clients he serves at Harrington Group.
Sean came to California from New Jersey at the age of 13. Being raised with 3 siblings by his single mother gave Sean an energetic work ethic, a healthy ambition and a strong commitment to family from an early age. After working hard to put himself through California State University, he began working for the United Way in San Bernardino, California and then earned his CPA license at Harrington Group. Sean was invited into partnership at the age of 33 by his mentor and firm namesake, Joe Harrington (retired). Sean is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Sean is also a proud member of the Pasadena Rotary Club, where he serves on a number of committees and has recently been selected as the incoming treasurer for 2014/2015.
In addition to Sean's professional commitments, he is a devoted husband and father. With two growing teen-age boys, family days are spent camping in the desert, zooming through sand dunes or some other weekend adventure. Luckily, Sean's love of cars and motorcycles is shared by his boys and sanctioned (most of the time) by his lovely wife.
Sean is proud to work exclusively for the nonprofit sector and for clients who serve their communities every day. Sean's expertise in auditing and consulting works in concert with his passion for service to those who do for others.
