MJD Advisors

About MJD Advisors

MJD Advisors is a boutique CPA firm founded in 2021 with one focus: SOC reports. They don’t do taxes, financial audits, or general accounting — just SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 2+, and SOC 3 engagements for technology companies. The firm is enrolled in the AICPA Peer Review Program and licensed to practice across the United States and internationally.

The pitch is straightforward: get an auditor who does this all day, every day, rather than a generalist CPA firm where SOC is one service line among many.

The Team

The firm was founded by Mike DeKock, CPA, who leads engagements and is the primary auditor. Chris (referenced by multiple clients) rounds out the core audit team. With ~7 employees total, the partners are directly involved in every engagement — there’s no junior-staff hand-off once you’re signed.

Talent background includes alumni from A-LIGN, UHY, Deloitte, and ByteChek, giving the small team broad SOC audit exposure relative to its size.

Who Should Choose MJD Advisors

Best Fit For:

• Startups and growth-stage SaaS companies that want a partner who understands modern tech stacks (cloud-native, AWS/GCP/Azure, containerized environments)
• First-time SOC 2 companies that want an auditor who explains the process rather than just executing a checklist
• Budget-conscious teams that want predictable, fixed-fee pricing without large-firm overhead
• Companies using Drata — MJD is a listed Drata partner and works well within that workflow

Not Ideal For:

• Large enterprises requiring a Big Four or nationally recognized brand on the report
• Organizations needing FedRAMP, CMMC, PCI DSS, or multi-framework consolidated audits
• Companies that need a physical on-site auditor presence outside the US Midwest

MJD has built a strong review profile from clients including Pipedream, Trovata, Weglot, HiHello, and Bonfire. Common themes:

• “Organized and efficient” — multiple clients cite the structured process and lack of surprises
• “Deep understanding of software and cloud companies” — auditors know how modern SaaS actually works

Bottom Line

MJD Advisors is the clearest example of a SOC-specialist boutique in the US market. The firm was built from scratch to do one thing well, and the client feedback reflects that focus. For startups and mid-stage SaaS companies that want an auditor who genuinely understands their environment — and won’t surprise them with scope creep or hourly billing — MJD is worth a serious look.
