Firm Profile
We place an emphasis on quality of service. As a condition of our
registration with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and membership in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), we participate in a rigorous quality control program, which includes peer reviews of our auditing p
ractice. This ensures our compliance with the highest of professional standards and our commitment to maintaining the highest continuing professional education standards. We meet or exceed all of the professional education standards required by federal and state agencies.
What makes us unique are the personal attention, commitment and energy we bring to each client relationship. Each client is assigned a team that includes a partner that is actively engaged to ensure that the client's planning and execution are designed specifically to meet their accounting and financial needs and goals. Our partners have experience in both public accounting and private industry. This enables us to closely identify with the financial executives we serve.
One of our partners, Jeff Houston, was selected to join the Texas Society of CPAs’ Professional Standards Committee effective June 1, 2008. The primary objective of the committee is to respond to exposure drafts of the FASB, SEC, AICPA, GASB, PCAOB and any other accounting and auditing standard-setting body that has an impact on the practice of accountancy in Texas. The Professional Standards Committee is responsible for all phases of the response process including identifying exposure drafts that warrant a response, assigning responsibility for reviewing exposure drafts, developing draft responses and approving the final letters to standard-setting bodies.
