How do we APPROACH acquisition security?
Our approach is hands-on, data-driven, and grounded in daily execution. We prioritize precision and visibility, empowering stakeholders with real-time insights and proactive financial control. Whether supporting Cooperative Programs, NAVAIR PMAs, or FMS cases, we bridge technical requirements with fiscal stewardship to advance readiness and strategic priorities.
As a trusted financial partner, we played a foundational role in building and managing the first Joint Program Office (JPO) for Harrier PMA-257, establishing enduring multinational financial processes and laying the groundwork for longterm international collaboration. This effort set a precedent for how strategic partnerships are scally structured and maintained within our clients’ enterprise.
