History
ADIGEO LLC was founded by two former regulators who had a desire to more directly and personally work with auditors and audit firms to improve their systems of quality control, to defend their good work, and to support firms in meeting their regulatory responsibilities. Having spent a combined quarter century in regulatory oversight, Helen and John recognized a need for auditors and audit firms to receive additional direct and client focused support in managing their practices. ADIGEO comes from the Latin to advance, to move forward. Moving forward and advancing clients in their journey to improved quality is our mission. We at ADIGEO know that by applying senior-level experience and expertise to audit quality and compliance concerns, a firm is more likely to be successful. We want to partner with clients interested in advancing.
