Dansa D'Arata Soucia LLP is a CPA and consulting firm providing professional services across six practice areas: Assurance (audit, review, compilation engagements), Information Security Compliance (SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC for Cybersecurity, SOC for Supply Chain, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR examinations), Tax Services (personal, business, international), Consulting (business valuation, litigation support, matrimonial), Outsourced Accounting (bookkeeping, controller, CFO advisory), and Transactional Advisory (due diligence, M&A support). The firm serves technology/SaaS companies, SMBs, and nonprofit organizations with technology-enabled engagement processes leveraging leading GRC platforms.
