Business & Financial Management

Financial operations, reporting, internal controls and administration for federal program offices, and for businesses and mission-driven initiatives.

Core Competency

Sound Books, Documented Controls, Clear Administration

Business & Financial Management covers the work that keeps an office's numbers and operations in order: GAAP-aligned financial processes, the monthly and quarterly close, internal controls, administrative procedures and, where an organization holds property, oversight of its real estate assets.

Corvinus Business Solutions provides this support to federal program offices, small offices, businesses and mission-driven initiatives. The work draws on experience as a Certified Public Accountant, Financial Controller and Director of Financial Reporting, and on a background in audit readiness, internal controls documentation and real estate asset management.

Because Corvinus also provides administrative and communications support, the financial work and the documentation around it come from one vendor, with a single point of accountability.

What We Do

Five Areas of Support

Financial Operations Support

GAAP-aligned financial processes, so transactions are recorded and reported on a consistent, recognized basis. Regular reconciliations keep the books tied to the records behind them. Reporting packages give leadership and oversight staff the figures they need in a form they can use, and workflow optimization removes steps that slow the finance function without adding control.

Accounting & Reporting

The monthly or quarterly close, carried out to a consistent routine so each period ends with balances that can be relied on. Financial statements prepared from the closed books. KPI dashboards that bring the measures an organization tracks into one view, and audit documentation assembled as the work is done rather than reconstructed later.

Internal Controls & Audit Readiness

Control design sets out who does what, who approves it and how it is recorded. Testing checks whether those controls operate as written. Where gaps appear, remediation closes them, and compliance documentation records the controls, the tests and the fixes so an auditor or reviewer can follow the trail.

Business Administration

Administrative support for the day-to-day running of an office. SOP development turns how work is done into written procedures staff can follow. Process mapping shows how a task moves from start to finish and where it stalls, and operational coordination keeps people, documents and tasks aligned.

Real Estate Asset Support

Property management oversight for owners and programs that hold real estate. Vendor coordination across the contractors and service providers a property depends on. Financial analysis of the asset, and the documentation that records how it is managed.

How We Work

How an Engagement Runs

  1. Scoping Conversation

    We start by understanding the organization (a program office or a business), what it needs from its financial and administrative operations, and where the current process falls short. The result is a defined scope of work.

  2. Documentation Review

    We review the existing records, procedures, reports and controls, so the work builds on what is already in place instead of replacing it by default.

  3. Delivery

    We carry out the agreed work, whether that is reconciliations and the close, a reporting package, control documentation or written SOPs, and document it as we go.

  4. Ongoing Support

    Where the engagement continues, we support the recurring work and keep procedures and documentation current as the organization changes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It is for federal program offices, and for businesses and mission-driven initiatives, that need dependable financial operations and administrative structure. Typical needs include putting reconciliations and the close on a consistent footing, preparing reporting packages and financial statements, documenting internal controls ahead of an audit, writing SOPs, and overseeing property and the vendors that serve it. Corvinus Business Solutions also supports federal teams that want financial and administrative work from the same vendor that can handle their documentation and communications. Business owners looking for day-to-day help can also see our accounting services and bookkeeping.

GAAP stands for generally accepted accounting principles, the common framework for how transactions are recorded and reported in the United States. GAAP-aligned processes keep the books on a consistent, recognized basis, so the figures in a reporting package mean the same thing from one period to the next and can be understood by anyone reviewing them. For a program office or a business, that consistency makes reports easier to rely on and easier to explain. Where a program has its own reporting requirements, those are built into the process alongside it.

Audit readiness starts with the controls. We look at how transactions are approved, recorded and reviewed, design controls where they are missing, and test whether existing ones operate as written. Gaps found in testing are remediated. Throughout, we keep compliance documentation and audit documentation current, so the evidence an auditor asks for already exists and is organized. The aim is an organization that can show how its numbers were produced, rather than one that has to reconstruct the trail when a request arrives.

Reconciliations compare the balances in the books with the records behind them, such as bank statements, and resolve the differences. The close is the routine that ends a period: reconciliations completed, entries reviewed, balances confirmed and financial statements prepared. We carry out the monthly or quarterly close to a consistent routine and document each step. That gives leadership figures they can rely on, and gives reviewers a clear record of how each period was finalized.

A KPI dashboard brings the key performance indicators an organization tracks into a single view, drawn from the same closed books as the financial statements. Which measures belong on it depends on what leadership needs to see and decide, so we define them with you during scoping rather than applying a fixed template. Because the dashboard is built on reconciled figures, its numbers agree with the reporting package and can be traced back to their source.

It covers property management oversight, vendor coordination, financial analysis and documentation for property an owner, business or program holds. In practice that means keeping watch over how a property is managed, coordinating the contractors and service providers it relies on, analyzing the asset's financial position, and keeping the records that document its management. The work draws on experience in real estate asset management and vendor coordination. Where a property sits inside a wider financial picture, it can be handled alongside the reporting and controls work on this page.

Scoping begins with a conversation about the organization, what it needs and where the current process falls short. We then review the existing records, procedures and reports. From there we agree which of the five areas the work covers (financial operations, accounting and reporting, internal controls, business administration or real estate asset support) and what will be delivered. Some engagements are a defined piece of work, such as a set of SOPs or control documentation. Others are ongoing support.

Yes. An office may already have people handling day-to-day finance and need support with one part of the work, such as the close, reporting packages, control documentation or written procedures. We review what your team already does and scope our work around it, so responsibilities are clear and nothing is duplicated. SOP development and process mapping also leave your staff with written procedures they can keep using after the engagement ends.

WOSB stands for Women-Owned Small Business and EDWOSB for Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business. Federal contracting programs allow some awards to be set aside for certified firms in these categories and, in some circumstances, to be made on a sole-source basis. Corvinus Business Solutions holds both certifications, which makes it eligible for set-asides and sole-source awards. Whether a specific procurement qualifies is a determination for the contracting office, which applies the current program rules to that requirement.

Request a consultation through the consultation form or send a message from the contact page, with a short description of your organization and the support you need. Federal buyers can also request the capability statement, which sets out our competencies and certifications on one page, and lists our NAICS codes. As soon as we have your details, we can begin the scoping conversation and agree the scope of work.
