Linda Mahnke, CPA From drafting policies & procedures to developing & presenting training, Linda excels in compliance.

Principal

Consulting firms often have the one-sided perspective of government ex-employees and limited credentials. Our Principal understands the goals and limitations of both sellers and buyers. Her whole-picture perspective is enhanced by:

• 6 years employed as a DCAA auditor;
• 6 years employed as a prime contractor Contract/Subcontract Administrator/Manager
• Over 3 years employed as an Auditor/Director in an Internal Audit Department; and
• More than 15 years as a management consultant to clients in this market

The Portfolio highlights specific accomplishments. Our Principal oversees every project, frequently contributing hands-on services and guidance through client-management strategies. Daily employment responsibilities honed her range of focus, from the typical consulting firm 50,000-foot perspective to the conflicting priorities in the trenches.
