TICHENOR & ASSOCIATES, LLP

Tichenor & Associates, LLP specializes in independent financial audit and assurance services for federal agencies, with deep expertise in government contract compliance, cost accounting, and procurement integrity. The firm delivers critical audit support for complex federal financial systems, including DCAA-compliant independent private audits, pre-award survey reviews, cost proposal evaluations, and debtor audit engagements. Their technical proficiency spans Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) compliance, indirect cost rate audits, allowability determinations, and financial systems reviews under Single Audit Act requirements. A key differentiator is their focused mastery of defense and aerospace contracting environments, where they consistently support audit functions critical to safeguarding taxpayer funds and ensuring contractor accountability. The firm maintains a strong, recurring relationship with the Department of Defense, providing essential DCAA-independent audit services across multiple commands and programs. They also serve the National Aeronautics and Space Administration with contract audit support for headquarters procurement activities, while delivering specialized audits for the Department of Transportation on major re-compete procurements and the Department of Justice on debtor financial reviews. Their engagement patterns reflect trusted, repeat partnerships built on precision, regulatory rigor, and audit integrity. Operating under NAICS 541211, Tichenor & Associates is a certified public accounting firm dedicated exclusively to the public sector, with no commercial practice. Their market positioning is defined by a narrow, high-value specialization in federal financial oversight, distinguishing them from generalist accounting firms. They serve as a trusted extension of government audit offices, ensuring transparency and fiscal responsibility in high-stakes federal contracting. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business structured as a limited liability partnership, the firm is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and is uniquely positioned to meet the stringent compliance and ethical standards required by federal audit authorities. Their certification enhances credibility in mission-critical contracting environments where trust and accountability are paramount.
