Pricing and timeline in context
Based in Tampa, Florida, Schellman quotes SOC 2 work in the $30K–$150K band — above the national firm median of $18K–$90K across the firms we track. As an AICPA-licensed CPA firm it issues SOC 1, SOC 2 Type 1, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR reports directly, and the fee scales with your headcount, the Trust Services Criteria in scope, and any frameworks you bundle. Plan for roughly 10–24 weeks on a Type 2 engagement. Compare it against the full SOC 2 audit cost benchmark before you commit.
Who Schellman is for
Schellman works most often with SaaS, Fintech, Healthcare, AI / ML, and GovTech companies, serving clients across United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Global. Its broad 7-framework coverage suits teams that want to consolidate several audits — SOC 2 plus ISO 27001, HIPAA, or PCI — under one firm. Scale-ups and mid-market companies that want experienced, credible coverage without Big Four pricing are the typical fit.
