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.

Career History

Deloitte Consulting LLP (2009 – 2025): Rose from Consultant to Senior Manager (promoted 2020) over a 16-year tenure. Held CFO-equivalent accountability across $644M in aggregate global development portfolios across 21 countries. These were embedded finance and operations roles with full P&L, compliance, and institutional fiduciary responsibility, not advisory engagements.

Most Recent — Lead Finance Partner, GPS (Aug 2024 – Dec 2025): Served as Lead Finance Partner for a $238M multi-country international development portfolio covering 15 international entities. Pivoted the account from growth strategy to crisis financial management after abrupt federal policy shifts triggered Stop Work orders across multiple programs, protecting revenue and executing compliant wind-downs under compressed timelines. The operating model applied here is the same one built across 16 years of international portfolios — control architecture, audit discipline, and pricing rigor travel across geographies.

BearingPoint (2005 – 2009): Junior and mid-level analyst roles across federal infrastructure, emerging markets, and public-sector advisory assignments, progressing from Senior Business Analyst to Financial Specialist / Scheduler. Supported senior client-facing consultants on financial modeling, project controls, and PMO work in McLean, VA and Jordan. Transitioned to Deloitte as a Consultant as a direct result of Deloitte acquiring BearingPoint's federal practice contracts in 2009.
