From policy to execution, our consultants understand the challenges of managing a federal budget. We provide solutions that link mission/program implementation to budget formulation and give executives the data they need to identify priorities and reduce waste.
We have a big picture-perspective on the federal budget process, current government guidance, leading practices in financial management, and the latest advances to optimize an agency’s fiscal approach, including acquisition management, multi-year planning, and budget formulation and execution. Our consultants are intimately familiar with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reporting challenges, budget prioritization, and issues related to the gathering of information from stakeholders throughout an agency.

Operations Analysis Cambio’s operations analysis experts help our clients analyze technologies, policies, processes, and complex systems. We assess the costs, benefits, and risks of investments associated with existing or newly proposed programs, ranging from major IT acquisitions to implementing formal prioritization processes, allowing executives to allocate funding and justify budget requests more effectively. Our consultants support federal strategic resource allocation and management practices by providing technology assessments, cost-benefit assessments, business case analyses, and analyses of alternatives. We are experienced in the use of advanced mathematical models and the latest tools and technologies.
Internal Controls Cambio helps agencies develop internal controls that reduce waste, fraud, and abuse while satisfying governmental compliance requirements. Our consultants have extensive experience assessing internal control programs, identifying areas for improvement, and training staff on effective procedures and practices.
Cost Management Many cost-reduction initiatives actually hinder performance or place strategic imperatives at risk. Others are simply not sustainable. Cambio's experience in leading accounting practices, such as activity-based costing (ABC), helps our clients view cost management from transactional, operational, and strategic perspectives.
