FROST, PLLC

What FROST, PLLC does

FROST, PLLC is a privately held certified public accounting firm founded in 1974 and headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, with additional offices across multiple U.S. states including Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida. The firm delivers accounting, tax preparation, audit and assurance, business advisory, employee benefit plan administration, estate and succession planning, strategic, and small business services to clients operating across all 50 states, with active service delivery in 48. While its roots are firmly in agriculture, FROST serves a diversified vertical mix spanning food processing and agriculture, construction and real estate, financial services, government and not-for-profit, manufacturing, and small business. The firm also operates FACTA LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides specialized animal welfare audits, on-farm training, and bilingual certification programs for agricultural operations nationwide.

The firm's offerings are delivered as unified professional services engagements rather than a modular software platform. Work is performed by in-house CPAs and consultants, priced on a quote basis that varies by client complexity and engagement scope. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct client engagement, business development outreach, industry events, client referrals, and content marketing through blog posts on regulatory topics and an active LinkedIn presence. Notable differentiators include the firm's depth with top-100 U.S. pork, broiler, egg, and turkey operators (serving 21 of them), the FACTA animal-welfare audit subsidiary, a formal cannabis industry practice, and a structured talent pipeline built through partnerships with 13 universities in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Arizona.

Ownership is held among the firm's partners with no institutional investors, parent company, or public listing. The firm has expanded its partner base through promotions in 2019 (Robert Wolfe and Adam Jones) and 2021 (Lindsey Jackson, Douglass Snell, and Curtis Winar). No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, funding rounds, or disclosed revenue figures were identified in the source material.
