Texas CPA firm brings experienced audit professionals and SOC 2 specialists together to expand access to independent financial reporting and technology assurance.

𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗦 — 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 — Deen Cadi CPA PLLC (TX) announces the expansion of its independent audit and assurance practice, with a focus on helping Texas businesses obtain the independent financial reporting and attestation services increasingly relevant to commercial lending, investment, and enterprise relationships.

The practice brings together experienced audit engagement leaders and technical specialists to serve privately held companies, entrepreneurs, technology providers, and growing enterprises across Texas, including the Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio markets.

“Texas has created an extraordinary environment for entrepreneurship and business growth,” said Deen Cadi, CPA, Founder and Managing Principal.

“As these businesses expand, they encounter increasingly sophisticated financial reporting and assurance expectations. Our goal is to ensure that growing Texas enterprises have access to independent professional examinations that allow their financial information and controls to be evaluated with the same rigor expected of larger organizations.”

According to the Texas Comptroller’s 2025 report, Small Business is Big Business in Texas, the state has approximately 3.5 million small businesses, representing 99.8% of Texas businesses and employing more than 5.1 million people.

Small businesses also accounted for 84% of Texas’ net job growth in 2024.

As these enterprises pursue larger financing arrangements, institutional investment, acquisitions, and commercial expansion, independently audited or reviewed financial statements may become an important component of stakeholder evaluation.

“For many growing businesses, there comes a point when financial statements prepared internally are no longer sufficient for the requirements of lenders or investors,” Cadi explained.

“An independent audit or review provides a recognized professional reporting framework. Our responsibility is to examine the information objectively and issue the appropriate report—not to influence the outcome of a financing or investment decision.”

A major area of specialization for the Texas practice is SOC 2 Type I and Type II examinations for software developers, cloud service providers, managed technology companies, and other service organizations.

Texas’ expanding technology ecosystem creates opportunities for emerging businesses to compete for contracts with larger corporations, financial institutions, and enterprise customers.

However, these opportunities frequently involve more demanding vendor assessments and information security requirements.

“An emerging Texas technology company may have an exceptional product and outstanding technical capabilities, yet prospective enterprise customers still require independent information about its controls,” Cadi said.

“SOC 2 provides an established framework for examining relevant controls and reporting on their design and, where applicable, operating effectiveness. This allows smaller businesses to demonstrate credibility through independent examination rather than relying solely on management representations.”

Cadi also acknowledged the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the professionals whose foresight contributed to the development of the SOC reporting framework in 2011.

“What I find particularly remarkable is the vision behind that initiative. As technology began fundamentally reshaping business operations, these professionals recognized the need for an independent approach to evaluating trust, security, and accountability.

“Their work demonstrated how the principles that have long defined our profession: independence, objectivity, professional skepticism, and public trust, could remain relevant as business evolved.

“With artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services transforming our economy, the significance of that early vision is especially evident.”

The Texas practice is supported by experienced audit engagement leaders and technical specialists in financial reporting, attestation, internal controls, and technology assurance.

Individual engagements are directed by qualified professionals responsible for technical execution, supervision, and compliance with applicable professional standards.

“Independence is the foundation of credible assurance,” Cadi emphasized. “Our role is not to validate predetermined conclusions but to objectively examine evidence and communicate our findings in accordance with professional standards.”
