The table below represents all Houston offices of national and regional firms as well as single-office Top 25 firms in Houston that do SEC auditing.

Malone & Bailey, PC specializes in auditing smaller SEC companies, so while our average audit size is smaller than the competition, we do more of them than any other firm in Houston.  This niche focus has enabled us to develop a thorough understanding of small public company audit complexities and offer high quality and efficient audits.  Our commitment to deliver small public company audit services has enabled our practice to become the 6th largest SEC practice in Houston by revenue – and we’re still growing.
