Education
Positioned for Optimal Service to Higher Education
In addition to our leadership role in serving California’s largest governmental entities, we bring comprehensive expertise gained from serving clients in higher education for nearly 20 years. We understand the intricacies of working with large institutions and have deep experience in the audit environment for colleges and universities, which are considered special-purpose governments engaged in business activities.
Knowing the seasonal demands our clients face, we work with you year-round, using a balanced plan that fits your workflow and is supported by both the personalized attention you expect from a local firm and the breadth of resources you expect from a national firm.
