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 — 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.

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. 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.

What services does MJD Advisors sell?

MJD sells SOC 1, SOC 2 Type I and Type II, 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 I & Type II — 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	Estimated Range
SOC 2 Type I	$8,000 – $20,000
SOC 2 Type II	$15,000 – $35,000

Ranges are estimates. Request a preliminary quote at mjd.cpa for your specific scope.

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 Drata-fluent workflow. 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 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

What do clients say about MJD Advisors?

Named clients including Pipedream, Trovata, Weglot, HiHello, and Bonfire describe MJD as organized, fluent in SaaS, and fixed-fee. Treat those as review themes, not a guarantee of your timeline or invoice.

• “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
• “Fixed-fee made budgeting simple” — no unexpected cost overruns mid-engagement

When should a buyer shortlist MJD Advisors?

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.
