Timeline: The 4–14 week figure is the audit fieldwork-to-report window once evidence is ready, not the full engagement. A SOC 2 Type II also requires an observation period, typically 3–12 months depending on scope, before that window begins.

About Frazier & Deeter
Frazier & Deeter is a Top 50 US accounting firm founded in 1981 and led by Managing Partner & CEO Jeremy Jones. With 600–1,000 professionals across 14 offices in three countries, FD delivers the compliance depth of a large firm without Big Four pricing. Backed by a strategic growth investment from General Atlantic (April 2025) — with PSP Capital Partners and Aksia also participating — the firm is actively investing in M&A, talent, and technology.
Already executing on that growth: FD acquired Arch + Tower (consulting/CX, 2020) and Rosen, Sapperstein & Friedlander (Mid-Atlantic CPA firm, Nov 2025). Ranked #41 by INSIDE Public Accounting (2025) and #44 on Accounting Today’s Top 100.
The SOC Curriculum Advantage
FD’s SOC Practice is led by competent Peer Reviewers along with a co-author of the AICPA’s official SOC for Service Organizations curriculum. This makes FD one of the only firms in the country where the person who literally wrote the AICPA’s SOC curriculum is leading client engagements — not just teaching it.
FD holds AICPA SOC Specialized Service Provider status, with dual-standard reporting under both AICPA Attestation Standards and ISAEs for seamless international client coverage.
The Deepest HITRUST Bench in the Country
Andrew Hicks, Partner and National HITRUST Practice Leader, came to FD from Coalfire where he built their national HITRUST practice. At FD he has:
- Managed hundreds of HITRUST engagements
- Served on multiple HITRUST Assessor, Quality, and Third-Party Risk Management Councils
- Led FD’s HITRUST practice to cover the full CSF — r2, i1, and e1 validated assessments
For organizations pursuing HITRUST certification, there are very few firms with this depth of dedicated bench strength.
Consolidated Compliance: The FD Signature Approach
FD’s Process, Risk & Governance (PRG) practice covers the full compliance stack under one roof:
- SOC 1 / SOC 2 / SOC 3 attestation
- IT audit and internal audit
- SOX
- HIPAA
- PCI DSS
- CMMC and FedRAMP
- ISO
- cyber services
This breadth enables FD’s signature consolidated approach: merging overlapping controls from SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and HITRUST into a single evidence-collection cycle. A published case study demonstrates this for a global payments technology company — cutting costs and eliminating audit fatigue entirely.
For companies facing multi-standard audit burdens, this isn’t just efficiency — it’s a fundamentally different compliance model.

Questions to Ask Frazier & Deeter Before Hiring
A buyer-side checklist. Bring these to your first call — the answers separate firms that have run hundreds of SOC 2 engagements from firms that are bidding on them.
- Your team is sized at 600-1000+. How many auditors will be assigned to my engagement, and who is the engagement lead — a partner, a senior manager, or a staff auditor?
- You quote 4–14 weeks. What pushes a project to the longer end of that range, and what does "audit-ready on day one" look like to you?
- Your Type II range is $25K–$75K. What's included at each end, and what scope changes would push pricing above the top of that range?
- You integrate with FD Secure Collaboration Portal, Fieldguide, Sprinto. If our team uses a different GRC tool, what's the evidence-handoff process and does it change your fee?
- Who reviews and signs the report on your side — is that a partner-level CPA, and how involved are they during fieldwork versus only at sign-off?
- How do you handle subservice carve-outs (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) versus inclusive subservice organizations when defining our scope?
- When you find an issue mid-audit, what's your remediation cadence — same-day flagging, weekly checkpoints, or an end-of-fieldwork rollup?
- Do you have surge windows (e.g., Q4 financial-year close) when start dates slip, and how far in advance do we need to lock the engagement to avoid them?
