MJD Advisors

Who is 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. They do SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 2+, and SOC 3 engagements for technology companies. The firm is enrolled in the AICPA Peer Review Program and says it is licensed to practice across the United States and around the world.

MJD does only SOC work, unlike a generalist CPA firm where SOC is one service line among many.

Who leads MJD Advisors?

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. The firm has about 7 employees. Ask who would staff your engagement and who signs the report.

Team members’ prior employers include A-LIGN, UHY, Deloitte, and ByteChek.

What services does MJD Advisors sell?

MJD sells SOC 1, SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2, SOC 2+, SOC 3, and HIPAA attestation, plus HITRUST and ISO readiness rather than certification. It does not run a general tax or financial-audit practice.

• SOC 1: Internal controls over financial reporting
• SOC 2 Type 1 & Type 2: Security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy
• SOC 2+: SOC 2 extended with HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO, NIST, CSA, or FERPA
• SOC 3: Public-facing summary report
• HIPAA Attestation: Controls over health information safeguarding
• HITRUST Readiness Assessment: Gap analysis against the HITRUST CSF
• ISO 27001 / ISO 42001 Readiness: Preparation for ISO certification
• GDPR Compliance: Privacy controls and documentation

How much does an MJD Advisors SOC 2 audit cost?

MJD uses a fixed-fee model: no hourly billing, no “meter running.” Pricing is scoped on an introductory call based on your environment, scope, and complexity. A preliminary quote form is available on their website if you’re not ready for a call.

Audit Type	Our Estimated Range
SOC 2 Type 1	$8,000 – $20,000

Who is MJD Advisors a good fit for?

MJD fits startups and growth-stage SaaS teams that want a SOC-only CPA, fixed fees, and a firm that works with Drata or Vanta. It is not a FedRAMP, CMMC, or PCI shop.

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

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 an auditor on site far from Des Moines, IA, where MJD is based
