I'm a federal grants compliance specialist with 13+ years across NIH, NSF, NASA, HHS, DOE, and State. I keep your awards clean and audit-ready, every single month.
But for most grant-funded organizations, it is. Here's what it usually looks like:
The record gets rebuilt by hand. The budget lives in a spreadsheet, documents sit in a shared drive, and sign-offs are scattered across email threads.
Requirements are buried in a 40-page award. Deadlines surface when they're already urgent, not when there's time to act.
Every cost needs a paper trail, but the trail was never built. Come audit time, you're reconstructing months of history from memory.
One undocumented dollar is a dollar you repay. Findings compound year after year, and each one makes the next audit harder.
I run it. You get clean deliverables, every month. No new hires, no new systems to learn, no year-end panic.
For organizations with one federal award. Monthly reconciliation, requirement tracking, and an audit-ready file.
For two to three awards. Everything in Essentials, plus reporting prep and internal-controls documentation.
Your full portfolio. Everything in Standard, with priority support and subrecipient monitoring assistance.
Flat retainer only. Never a percentage of your grant.
The work runs on Clareora, our compliance platform. Watch what it does:
I've worked both sides of federal awards, pre-award and post-award, and I've closed out hundreds of them. This isn't theory. It's the work I've done every day for over a decade.
Compliance is a trust business. So here are our principles, in plain language:
We surface gaps, rank them, and help you fix them. What we don't do is declare you compliant. That's your auditor's job, and we respect the line.
Software drafts, extracts, and organizes. A person reviews every number before it reaches you. Nothing ships unchecked.
No one can promise you'll pass an audit. What we promise is that you'll walk in prepared, documented, and organized. Anyone who guarantees otherwise is selling something.
Thirty minutes. We'll talk about your awards, your next audit, and whether we're a fit. No pitch, no pressure.
