Why Space Coast Businesses Need Specialized Finance Leadership
Defense Contract Accounting
Government contractors must maintain compliant accounting systems, track indirect rates, and manage DCAA audits—specialized expertise that's critical for contract renewals.
Commercial Space Economics
New space companies face unique challenges: long development cycles, milestone-based revenue, and investor expectations. CFOs need to bridge aerospace rigor with startup agility.
