What We Cover

Six Areas of Federal Financial SME Support

01 // CORE
Requirements and FFMSR Review
Independent review of requirements, user stories, and design documents for gaps, contradictions, testability issues, and alignment with Treasury, OMB, and FASAB standards. Findings mapped to authoritative sources.
Treasury · OMB · FASAB
02
USSGL and Posting Logic Validation
Validation of posting models, journal voucher logic, and accounting events against USSGL and TFM requirements. We catch misaligned posting logic before it becomes a go-live problem.
USSGL · TFM · Posting Models
03
Reconciliations and GL Analysis
Investigation of GL discrepancies, reconciliation backlogs, and unresolved account issues. We trace the problem, document the finding, and recommend a path forward.
GL · Reconciliation · Analysis
04
Data Mapping and Conversion QA
Review of chart of accounts crosswalks, legacy-to-new-system mappings, and data conversion logic for exceptions and errors. Critical before any migration goes live.
COA · Migration · Crosswalk
05
Testing and UAT Review
Identification of missing test scenarios and weak test coverage before go-live. We review test plans and UAT results for gaps that auditors and oversight bodies will find later if you do not.
UAT · Test Coverage · QA
06
FMCF and FM QSMO Compliance Review
Assessment of financial systems, requirements, or solution designs against the Financial Management Capability Framework and FFMSRs. Findings mapped to authoritative Treasury and OMB sources with clear remediation guidance.
FMCF · FFMSRs · FM QSMO
How It Works

Simple by Design.

We built this service around one principle: your program should not have to run a staffing action to get federal financial expertise on a problem.

Send us the artifact. We review it against authoritative standards. You get back a written findings and recommendations report. In most cases, not a single meeting required.

For programs with ongoing need, a fractional monthly retainer reserves capacity without adding headcount or navigating a contracting vehicle every time something comes up.

01
Send the Artifact
Requirements document, design spec, posting model, test plan, or reconciliation package. Whatever is on your plate.
02
We Review Against Standards
USSGL, TFM, FMCF, FFMSRs, OMB circulars. We know what the auditors look for because we have been on that side of the table.
03
You Get the Report
Written findings and recommendations, mapped to authoritative sources. Actionable. Defensible. Ready to put in front of a CO or IG.
04
Iterate as Needed
Follow-up review, revised documentation, or standing retainer capacity. We scale to match what the program actually needs.
Why This Works

The Right Expertise. Without the Overhead.

Federal financial management work is specialized. The standards are dense, the stakes are high, and the expertise is scarce. Most programs either overstaff to cover it full-time or go without and find out at audit time what they missed. There is a better option.

Treasury and FM QSMO Background
Our principal spent years inside Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service and served as FM QSMO Standards Lead. We know the Framework because we helped build it.
No Staffing Action Required
Engage us directly. No RFP, no full-time billet, no lengthy onboarding. SAM registered and ready to work under existing vehicles.
Independent by Design
We are not embedded in your program. That independence means our findings are objective and defensible when oversight asks questions.
Authoritative Source Mapping
Every finding is traced to a specific TFM bulletin, USSGL account, FMCF requirement, or OMB circular. Not opinion. Cited standard.

What is on your plate?

If your program has federal financial management work that does not justify another full-time hire, that is exactly what this service is for. Let us talk about it.
