Industries most auditors serve here
1. Remote vs. On-site
Modern SOC 2 audits are 95% remote. However, some Seattle firms still offer on-site walk-throughs which can be helpful for the "physical security" component of the audit if you maintain a physical office.
2. Firm Reputation
Your SOC 2 report is a sales tool. In Seattle, where competition is high, having a report from a recognized CPA firm can significantly reduce friction with enterprise procurement teams.
3. Automation Compatibility
Ensure your Seattle auditor is comfortable working with modern compliance automation platforms. A "tech-forward" auditor can shave weeks off the audit timeline by accepting automated evidence exports.
