• Working knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS), and relevant sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), including Part 31 cost principles and 2 CFR 200 uniform guidance.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to break down complex financial and regulatory questions into structured, data‑driven analyses.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate financial and regulatory concepts for non‑financial stakeholders in a fast‑paced client environment.
• Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams, meet deadlines, and thrive in an entrepreneurial, growth‑oriented consulting firm culture aligned with EverGlade’s focus on high‑impact federal programs.

• Strong working knowledge of FAR, DFARS, CAS, and applicable CFR provisions governing cost allowability, cost allocation, and pricing of federal awards, including FAR Part 31 and 2 CFR 200.
• Demonstrated ability to lead workstreams or small teams, manage junior staff, and coordinate cross‑functional efforts across finance, contracts, technical, and program management stakeholders.
• Proven experience developing client deliverables such as cost models, budget justifications, audit responses, and executive‑level presentations that synthesize complex financial data into clear recommendations.
• Track record of operating in an entrepreneurial consulting environment, including business development support (e.g., proposal input, level‑of‑effort estimates, or pricing strategy) consistent with EverGlade’s high‑growth, innovation‑focused mission.
