What We Solve
Three problems we take off your desk
Audit-Ready Compliance
2 CFR 200, OMB, and FAR compliance that stands up to scrutiny. Risk assessment, internal controls, and corrective action before the auditors arrive — not after.
Modern Policies & SOPs
Policies your staff can actually use. We draft, modernize, and align governance documents with federal and Tribal standards — ISDEAA, NAHASDA, ICWA, and more.
Grant-Ready Capacity
From NOFO to closeout. Compliant narratives, defensible budgets, post-award reporting, and subrecipient monitoring that keep the funding flowing.
Sovereignty-first. Systems that outlast us.
We don’t just understand the regulations — we’ve written them, enforced them, and navigated them from inside Tribal communities. And we build capacity, not dependency: every engagement transfers knowledge to your team, so the mission continues long after our work ends.
