FEDERAL & DOMESTIC CONTROLLERSHIP FRAMEWORKS

Federal Operations and Controllership Framework

Built from 20 years directing $644M across federal and donor-funded portfolios, this framework translates statutory and contractual requirements into operating controls that preserved 99.8% forecasting accuracy, supported clean annual audits, and kept delivery stable in high-risk environments.

Audit Readiness
Control structures aligned to FAR, AIDAR, CAS, and DCAA requirements.
Close Discipline
Standardized AP, accrual, ledger, and month-end close workflows across multi-entity operations.
P2P & Grant Controls
Operating rules for procurement, sub-awards, and partner funding across $40.5M in managed grants.

The Same Problems. A Different Arena.

Most domestic GovCon finance functions were built for a smaller organization. The portfolio grew, but the control model did not. The result is a team managing problems reactively: year-end audit prep, late margin erosion, and blind procurement. This framework addresses that gap directly.

DCAA & Audit Readiness
Permanent audit posture. Defensible FAR Part 31 allowability and routine ICS preparation.
Margin & Cash Protection
Protects fee realization, billing discipline, and indirect rates before pressure forces action.
Scale Without Breakdown
Standardized approval thresholds and reporting architecture to scale controls with growth.
