August Highlights at DRDA: Award Wins, Team Growth & Strategic Updates

At DRDA, August has been a month full of momentum, recognition, and forward progress. In the latest edition of The Family Journal, we celebrate not only internal achievements but also industry-wide recognition that reflects our shared commitment to excellence.

Award-Winning Culture We’re proud to announce that DRDA has been recognized with three major honors:

· Accounting Today – Best Accounting Firms to Work For

· Houston Business Journal – Best Places to Work

· Inside Public Accounting – Top 500 Firms

These awards are more than accolades—they represent the dedication, professionalism, and positive culture our team brings to life every day.

Department Spotlights This month’s newsletter shares meaningful updates from departments across the firm:

· Our Marketing team is rolling out a refreshed brand and new website to improve client experience and reinforce our value.

· The Audit team is enhancing communication to keep long-term projects on track and client-focused.

· Finance and CAS continue streamlining operations and improving turnaround times, ensuring that client work flows smoothly and predictably.

· The IT department is working behind the scenes on Cetrom support and a major HubSpot integration to better support marketing and client engagement.

Investing in People We also welcome several new team members, highlight shoutouts for outstanding performance, and reflect on the importance of sharing the “why” in communication—an insight that strengthens collaboration across the firm.

Looking Ahead As we move into the fall, we remain focused on staying agile, improving client experiences, and supporting our team internally. From tax planning to onboarding improvements and culture-building initiatives, DRDA continues to grow with intention.

Stay tuned for upcoming announcements and a celebration in honor of our recent awards!
