GET TO KNOW US

Unparalleled Experience

Our partners have more than 70 years of combined experience managing high-level state and federal grant programs, disaster recovery initiatives, and economic development projects. Collectively we have secured and managed billions of dollars in state and federal funds for governments and clients. 

Our Focus: Intersections of State & Federal Funding
and Disaster Recovery Best Practices

Our service-oriented focus emphasizes the intersections of state and federal funding, programming, disaster recovery best practices, practical management of recovery and rebuilding processes, post-disaster grant and financial management, economic development, community development, community engagement, and policy advice and counsel for elected leaders and administrations. 

Linking Disaster Solutions to Positive Recovery Outcomes

We have comprehensive experience advising federal, state, and local governments on critical recovery considerations, including the linkage between sustainable development and disaster risk reduction, pre-and post-disaster policymaking, and improving the nexus between disaster management initiatives and locally driven recovery outcomes.  

Accounting, Regulatory and Recovery Oversight

We have decades of experience in accounting and regulatory compliance for large multi-million-dollar projects involving all levels of government. We also have extensive experience and knowledge in providing program management, disaster recovery oversight and coordination, grant management, and related accounting and regulatory advice and services to government and private-sector clients. 

Turnkey Approach

We offer a complete package of planning, coordination, financial administration, and compliance oversight for programs and projects of any size, with expertise in utilizing and leveraging a wide array of federal funding sources including CDBG, FEMA PA, ARPA, IIJA, FEMA IA, HMGP, HOME, ESG, ESSER and RESTORE funds.
