A certified micro business and disabled veteran business enterprise delivering budget analysis, written procedures, and program assessments at a fixed price.
Every engagement is quoted as a firm fixed price so an agency knows the full cost before work begins. Engagements typically range from $4,500 to $10,000, scoped to the need.
Monthly comparison of actual spend to approved budget by line item, with a written narrative explaining each significant difference and the driver behind it. Includes a year end forecast, a one page summary for leadership, and the supporting workbook with every number traceable to its source.
Written desk procedures for a financial or administrative function, covering the recurring battle rhythm, step by step instructions, required inputs, expected outputs, and control points. Written in plain language so a new employee can follow it without training. Includes one revision cycle.
Independent review of a program or department's financial position, examining budget baseline integrity, spend rate against plan, staffing cost against plan, and forecast reliability. Delivered as a written findings report with prioritized recommendations and a briefing to leadership.
Engagements are priced well below the $250,000 threshold, which allows a state agency or CSU campus to award through the informal small business process under Government Code 14838.5 with quotations from two certified small businesses. A five percent small business bid preference applies on competitive solicitations, DVBE participation counts toward the three percent statewide goal, and microbusiness status qualifies the firm for purchases the state reserves for certified microbusinesses.
Scope outside these packages is quoted as a firm fixed price on request. A full package sheet with pricing is available on request.
CD Veteran Services is owned and operated by Cromwell Dyette, a service disabled veteran with over twenty years of government acquisition, earned value management, and program finance experience, and an MBA. The work is straightforward: make the numbers traceable, explain what changed, and hand back something a manager can act on.
