As a result of our unique niche focus on smaller SEC-regulated companies, which allows us to concentrate our technical expertise on one set of auditing standards and principles to deliver higher quality audits, we have more SEC clients than any other non-national accounting firm. We are the 16th largest SEC auditor in the country by fee revenues and the 9th largest by number of SEC clients, according to information derived from AuditAnalytics.com - see the Our Competition, Competition by Fees * Top 100 page. Our firm’s focus has enabled us to significantly grow our team and market presence over the past several years. We believe our success will continue as we hone our niche expertise, maintain our commitment to quality, and enhance the value we provide our clients.
