Cost / Earned Value Measurement Systems
Financial Management in the government sector is a world unto itself. Understanding how to comply with the financial requirements within the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR) takes years of experience. Concepts like Earned Value Measurement Systems are foreign to commercial companies that don’t deal regularly in the government sector. Fortunately, Capitol GCS has a cadre of highly experienced Financial / Budget Managers who have spent years working in this unique environment. If you need a team who can meet these requirements the first time and every time, please contact us at Capitol GCS.

The Contract Management personnel at Capitol GCS have dozens of years of experience managing complex government acquisitions in the public transit, aerospace and construction sectors. This is “cradle to grave” experience, ranging from developing the Request for Proposal (RFP) through the ultimate closeout of the contract. If you need assistance in eliminating the contractual threats your acquisition faces, please let us assist you.
