Your staffing dilemma is over. CAVU delivers the Controller Services you need without breaking your budget.
For most GovCons, staffing is the largest expense, absorbing 60-70 percent of revenue. That makes personnel decisions a key part of your financial strategy, particularly at senior levels.
Outsourced controller services often present significant cost savings over an internal hire which also requires fringe and other indirect costs.
Beyond Balanced Books
The government marketplace demands much more than skilled bookkeeping for sound financial management. Take your eye off regulatory compliance, indirect rate calculations, and audit readiness and watch minor oversights snowball into costly headaches. A controller’s role is to keep your business compliant and financially well-positioned, yet many GovCons instead struggle to manage financial operations without dedicated controller support.
Your choice is not all-or-nothing when it comes to crucial senior level financial guidance. CAVU’s menu of Controller Services is built specifically so your GovCon can access the financial leadership and oversight needed to keep your business on track.
Read the Red Flags: 3 Signals You Need Controller Services
If you’re wondering whether your accounting team can go it alone without controller support, pay attention to the following red flags that signal financial distress, then call on CAVU Controller Services for leadership designed for the realities of government contracting.

- Recording all revenue and expenses.
- Reconciling bank accounts.
- Correctly allocating indirect costs.
- Posting accruals and adjustments.
- Finalizing project-level profitability reports.
- Preparing compliance-required financial statements for regulatory agencies and lenders.
