About Weaver
At its core, Weaver is a Texas-based, national accounting firm with comprehensive capabilities. That means they do the things you’d expect them to do: traditional assurance and tax services. However, Weaver’s philosophy has always been about doing more than expected. That’s why Weaver also provides a wide array of advisory services including risk advisory, transaction advisory, IT advisory, energy compliance services, forensics and litigation, financial institutions consulting and public company services.
That’s what they do. But just as important is how they do it. Insight is at the heart of their approach. They start by making it their mission to understand their clients’ industries inside and out, with a special focus on oil and gas, financial services, manufacturing and government. It doesn’t end there; they get to know their clients’ business goals and challenges, what they want to achieve and what’s standing in the way.
Weaver's industry-focused, client-centric approach has paid off for their clients – and garnered the firm national recognition.
