Independently Owned and Operated

Built by CPAs, for Our Clients

At DZA, we take pride in being a firm that’s fully owned and operated by Certified Public Accountants who work directly with our clients every day. This hands-on approach ensures that our clients always receive experienced, personal attention—and it reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity.

Why Independence Matters

Being an independent CPA firm without private equity funding offers significant advantages. It allows us to maintain full control over our vision, strategy, and client relationships—while preserving the culture and values that define who we are.

The Benefits of Independence

Control and Autonomy

As an independent firm, DZA retains complete control over our operations and decision-making. We can adapt quickly to market shifts and client needs—without waiting for outside approval.

Culture Preservation

Our culture is our foundation. Independence allows us to protect and strengthen that culture, attracting top talent and building long-term relationships rooted in shared values.

Client-Centric Focus

We answer only to our clients—not to investors. That means we can focus entirely on delivering high-quality, customized service without external financial pressures dictating priorities.

Freedom from Investor Pressures

Without private equity backing, we’re free from the demands that can come with external ownership—such as management restructuring, layoffs, or altering service models to meet investor expectations.

Room to Innovate

Our independence gives us the freedom to experiment, evolve, and invest in new technologies or services that best serve our clients—on our timeline and terms.

Agile Decision-Making

We make decisions quickly and confidently, without layers of outside stakeholders. This agility helps us stay responsive and proactive in a fast-changing landscape.

Trust You Can Count On

We believe independence builds trust. And trust is what our clients count on.
