We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with travel as required for client and field sites. We build ready teams for live pursuits - not speculative staffing banks.

• Contribute lead-auditor qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned

Required:

• Degree in an accounting-related field with a minimum of 27 semester hours in accounting (transcripts/diplomas required)
• Hands-on GAGAS and/or GAAS audit experience
• Familiarity with FAR Part 31, 2 CFR 200, and related grant / overhead audit frameworks (AASHTO Audit Guide and/or 23 CFR 172 a plus)
