Hi, I have extensive experience reviewing financial systems, reconciliations, cost classifications, internal controls, audit requirements, financial statements, and reporting processes, and I’m accustomed to taking ownership of complex accounting environments rather than simply processing transactions. What I bring: Chartered Accountant + Master’s in Business, Accounting & Finance, with hands-on experience across financial accounting, audit, tax, reporting, controls, and financial analysis. I’d be interested in understanding your current stage—particularly whether the immediate priority is FCL/FOCI, an incurred cost submission, or building the DCAA compliance framework from the ground up.

I can help organize and strengthen the finance and compliance processes required for a government-contracting environment. My approach would start with a practical assessment of the existing accounting, labor, timekeeping, indirect-cost, and documentation workflows. I would then establish clear controls around employee labor tracking, cost allocation, approvals, supporting documentation, reconciliations, and reporting. Particular attention would be given to ensuring that indirect costs are consistently classified and that the resulting rate structure can be supported with appropriate records. For DCAA-readiness, I would build an organized audit-support framework covering policies, accounting records, timekeeping, cost documentation, and the evidence needed to explain the company's processes. I can also help improve the financial reporting used by management and investors so it remains consistent with the underlying accounting records. The exact implementation would depend on your current accounting system, contracts, existing policies, and stage of compliance preparation. I’d be happy to review those details and define the appropriate work plan.
