Before you write
It is a small firm.
Small is the point. The work is senior from the first call to the retest, with no handoff to junior staff after the letter is signed, and where a scope needs more hands we add them only with your written consent.
The firm is new.
The standard is not. Behind it is a career in Big Four and national firm risk practices, on audit work that held up to annual PCAOB inspection, and if a control fails testing for a reason in our work, that deliverable’s fee is refunded.
It is not a CPA firm.
We are an advisory firm, not a CPA firm, and the opinion stays your auditor’s. Independence rules keep them from designing or implementing the fix, and that work is ours, with management.
Will my auditor rely on it?
How much your auditor relies on our work is their decision. We build it to the standard they apply to their own work so they can, and we confirm in writing, for their independence file, that we are not affiliated with any audit firm.
We are too big for a small firm.
The owner built and led a risk consulting practice and directed global delivery teams for public and pre IPO clients. Where a scope needs more hands, they complete your onboarding first, and the same person stays on the work.
What does it cost to find out?
A two hour call and a short letter. The letter names the deliverables, the dates and the fee, and no work begins before it is in writing.
