Our Services
Operational Assessment
We take a deep dive into your financial aid operations—staffing, training, communication, systems, and automation. From workflow efficiency to federal system integration and policy clarity, we pinpoint gaps and streamline processes to strengthen administrative capability and elevate the student experience.
Organizational Assessment
We assess the health of your financial aid office—its structure, culture, leadership, and alignment with institutional goals. By uncovering inefficiencies, skill gaps, and risks, we deliver actionable strategies for performance improvement, staff engagement, and long-term resilience.
Compliance Assessment
Our comprehensive compliance reviews cover federal and state regulations, including veterans and workforce programs. Through file audits, policy reviews, workflow analysis, and training evaluations, we help you stay audit-ready, reduce risk, and protect the integrity of your aid programs.
