Hear From Our Public Sector Clients

''The level of customer care has been exceptional. The team is always available to answer questions and assist us through the auditing process.''

Meldanci Robinson | Communities in Schools Baytown

''Roger Tovar is a great thought partner and a leader of a dynamic team. As a CFO in a medium-sized school district, I am immensely grateful for his expertise and his character. I couldn't be more pleased with the services I receive from Whitley Penn and often refer their value-added services to my colleagues.''

Carla Settle | Cedar Hill ISD

''Lupe Garcia is the greatest! If we have questions or concerns throughout the year, he always responds and answers our questions. He and the staff are always friendly and easy to work with each year.”

Teresa Thomas | Navarro College

''Roger Tovar and Laura Lynch are great and always knowledgeable. Not only are they concerned with getting the audit right, but are also determined to help us understand all the pieces as well which is a key factor that has not been my experience with all auditors.''

GP Ippolito | City of Greenville

''I just love you guys!''

Brenda Niles | Austin ISD
