Your numbers aren't the problem. Your system is.
Financial architecture, governance, and pressure diagnostics for government contractors, nonprofits, and growth-stage organizations that need a CFO who reads the system — not just the reports.
Trusted by GovCon, nonprofit, and growth-stage leaders
You don't have a numbers problem.
You have an architecture problem.
I've sat inside GovCon firms during DCAA audits. I've watched nonprofits lose grant funding because their chart of accounts couldn't support a single-audit. I've seen growth-stage companies run out of cash while their books showed profit.
In every case, the numbers were accurate. The system behind them was wrong. The indirect rate structure didn't match the contract mix. The ERP was configured for the company they used to be. The reporting told leadership what happened — never what was coming.
That's an architecture problem. And that's what I fix.
Your ERP is configured for who you were, not who you are
Indirect rates are guesses, not engineered structures
Compliance is reactive — addressed after the signal fires
Cash flow reports tell you what happened, not what's coming
Finance team is compensating manually for system gaps
Board reporting doesn't reflect operational reality
Three disciplines.
One integrated practice.
Finance Architecture, Pressure Intelligence, and CFO Governance aren't separate services — they're three layers of the same operating system. Most organizations need all three. We start where the pressure is highest.
Finance Architecture
Most organizations are running on financial infrastructure that was never designed to carry their current weight. We design and build the chart of accounts, indirect rate structures, ERP configuration, and reporting cadence that your operations actually require — not what came out of the box.
- Chart of accounts design & restructuring
- Indirect rate structure development
- ERP selection & configuration
- Reporting infrastructure & close process
Pressure Diagnostics
Financial pressure is information. Cash flow stress, audit exposure, billing gaps, and governance drift are signals — not surprises. Using proprietary diagnostic frameworks, we read those signals early and give leadership a clear picture of what the system is actually telling them.
- Financial Operator Pressure Test (FO-PT)
- Cash flow & burn scenario modeling
- DCAA & grant compliance gap analysis
- Contract risk & revenue exposure review
CFO Governance & Tax
Ongoing CFO-level governance embedded in your operations — plus individual and business tax preparation handled by the same CPA who knows your books. No handoff. No gap between your operating decisions and your tax position.
- CFO governance & board reporting
- Business tax preparation (S-Corp, C-Corp, Partnership)
- Individual tax preparation for business owners
- Year-round tax planning integrated with CFO governance

A Financial Operator, not just a CFO.
"Most growth-stage CEOs and Nonprofit Directors aren't failing because of bad ideas. They're failing because their financial infrastructure can't carry the weight of their ambitions."
