Defense/Aerospace Contracting, Auditing, & Compliance Expert Resume
Resume:
FACT SHEET
Greetings:
A U.S. Air Force veteran with deep expertise in
government contracting from the cradle to the grave and everything else in between, there has been
increasingly responsible work performed working in audit, compliance, and financial management, and
working on contracts and subcontracts. Early in my career there were demonstrated notable career
achievements working at and with some of the largest defense contractors in the country. I have worked for large defense contractors, three out of the Big 4 CPA firms (Deloitte, E&Y, and KPMG), small businesses, the Federal Government (emphasis added DCAA), and
operated my own management consulting firm for
several years, working for and with manufacturing and technology driven organizations. Professional
credentials include a BSBA in Accounting, an MBA in Finance, and three certifications (CICA, CFIP, CSOE). Since 1978, I have worked primarily in the
Defense/Aerospace private business sector and for the Federal Government either as an employee or
operating my own company. We are a small, minority, veteran owned management consulting firm that
specializes in providing full-service compliance, audit, financial management, and consults on contracts and subcontracts to companies that have contracts with the Federal Government. My company has been in
business and registered at SAM.gov since 1991.
Included is my personal resume and the firm’s Business Capability Statement. We can work on either a 1099 or W-2 temporary employee basis and are open to short or long-term contract commitments anywhere in the
world.
The list of areas of expertise reflected in the foregoing documents is just a sample of what we offer to clients. The consideration is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Bryant Warren
