What Makes Us Different

Dedicated to Higher Education

We serve only postsecondary institutions, not one of many industries. Our team speaks your language and understands the regulations that affect your financial health.

Educating the Educators

Regulations don’t pause, and neither do we. Our FAAC credentialed team has worked inside institutions, so we know this space from every angle. We proactively share what’s changing through webinars, articles, and trainings, so you’re never caught off-guard.

Zero Project Drag

We run a tight ship. Reports are issued well before deadlines and shortly after fieldwork wraps. We’re hyper-focused on moving projects forward efficiently, so nothing sits, nothing stalls, and nothing surprises you at the end.

Who We Serve

We Understand Your Compliance Challenges

Who We Serve

Every client we work with faces real regulatory pressure, and the stakes are too high to navigate compliance alone. We built our practice entirely around higher education because this industry demands a specialist, and because you deserve that peace of mind.

What Our Clients Say

“McClintock & Associates have provided a true game changer for us!”

For years, I dreaded calculating our 90/10 Rate, as our SIS often struggled to project it accurately. With the new model, what once took a week now takes just hours. It’s accurate, easy to follow, and allows us to run our rate more frequently—empowering us to adjust faster.

Another huge bonus is the built-in footnote disclosure, which made our EZ-Audit submission completely painless. The minimal cost far outweighed the time and resources saved.

What Our Clients Say

“The McClintock compliance team was efficient and accommodating”

The McClintock compliance team was efficient and accommodating under a very tight audit deadline, providing clear documentation expectations and communication. Their expertise and professionalism helped strengthen our compliance and made it an easy decision to also transition our financial statement audits to McClintock. They are a pleasure to work with.
