  • “AAFCPAs is a true partner. They’re always there for us to help us grow and anticipate challenges or changes on the horizon. They’ve worked with us on all types of SOC reports [SOC 1 Type 1 and 2 plus SOC 2 Type 1 and 2] along with special attestations, process assessments, and SOC readiness. And they make audits clear and understandable. But more importantly, they give us context and guidance because they know us—perhaps even better than many of our own employees.”

    Michael Marotta, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Officer Public Consulting Group LLC (PCG)

  • “I highly recommend AAFCPAs for all types of SOC reports [SOC 1 Type 1 and 2 plus SOC 2 Type 1 and 2] along with special attestations, process assessments, and SOC readiness. Audits are required by our contracts and regulations. And that could be a stressful exercise for any organization. But AAFCPAs, given they know us so well, work with us to help anticipate where challenges might be. They consult with us year-round, and that helps us continually improve our processes. It’s that partnership approach where they’re providing context and guidance. And they provide it in a way that focuses on what’s meaningful to the company. This in turn makes us better prepared and reduces stress. So instead of stressing about audits, we learn a lot from them. We feel as if AAFCPAs is on our side.”

    A company that’s on our side.
