Grant Management
Grant management and post-award compliance
Reporting, compliance and performance systems that keep awards on track and hold up to audit, from launch through closeout.
Who it's for
Who we support
Winning the award is the start of the work. We support organizations standing up a new award quickly, grants offices carrying more awards than staff, multi-partner projects with subrecipients, and teams preparing for a monitoring visit or audit.
What we do
What's included
Award startup and implementation planning
Translate the funded proposal into a launch plan with owners, timelines and the documentation the funder expects.
Reporting calendars and deliverable tracking
Every report, milestone and deliverable on one calendar, so nothing is missed and nothing is late.
Compliance monitoring and documentation
Systems for allowable costs, time and effort, procurement and record keeping that align with federal requirements.
Performance reporting and funder communication
Clear, funder-ready progress reports and steady communication with program officers.
Subaward and vendor monitoring
Risk assessment, monitoring plans and check-ins for subrecipients and contractors.
Closeout planning and audit readiness
Final reports, reconciliations and organized files, so closeout is routine and audits are uneventful.
