This individual will serve as the go-to subject matter expert across Cost Allocation Plans (CAPs), Statewide Cost Allocation Plans (SWCAPs), Public Assistance CAPs (PACAPs), Title IV-D/IV-E, and user fee and rate studies. The ideal candidate thrives in high-growth environments, is comfortable balancing delivery and pre-sales, and is energized by mentoring and developing junior talent.

Why This Role Matters

Our firm is an industry leader in cost allocation and cost recovery strategies for public agencies. We’ve helped our clients recover millions of taxpayer dollars by building compliant, defensible, and efficient fiscal models across:

• Indirect Cost Rate Proposals (ICRP)
• User Fee Studies and Rate Setting (e.g., EMS, fleet, jail, lease, recreation)
• Technology-related cost recovery and internal service fund modeling

Our services increase general fund revenue, reduce local subsidy burdens, and improve decision-making and transparency. We are consistently selected for high-stakes projects because we pair deep technical knowledge with a track record of results and the ability to guide clients through complex fiscal environments.

With rising fiscal pressures on governments, this role is an opportunity to expand and deepen our ability to help agencies recover costs, fund critical services, and make data-informed decisions.
