Culture/Philosophy
As a Veteran-owned firm, providing support to the Military and Homeland Defense missions is a key component of our culture and philosophy. Many of our leaders and employees have served in in the military and take pride in continuing to support our veterans through contract and community service efforts. We actively seek opportunities to provide support to veterans. We currently support the Department of Veterans Affairs in providing benefits counseling support to service members exiting military service at Fort Dix, McGuire AFB, Lakehurst Naval Facility, Fort Drum and Hanscom Air Force Base. We also support the Department of Defense in strategic human capital planning and web-based curriculum development for the DoD Comptroller's office and the DoD Financial Management Certification Program.
As a CPA firm, we follow established quality control standards to ensure that our staff is free from conflicts and properly trained, and that our work products meet or exceed the attestation or consulting standards applicable to each individual engagement. Our project management approaches establish clear lines of communication within the team and external to our clients while our tiered supervision approach ensures sound and complete review of documents prior to release to our clients.
As a small business, DPG provides a personal level of service that stems from the direct involvement of our partners and senior management as working members of each project team. Our clients have access to and work directly with DPG partners who are knowledgeable with the details of the project when discussing issues or developing solutions. Our goal on each project is to establish communication lines directly to the partner or manager level accountable for the project that allow for issues to be address quickly and effectively without having to rise through a chain of command.
