What I do

Productized services, built to be bought cleanly.

Each engagement is fixed in scope and price, delivered by one accountable expert, and handed over with a control plan the agency keeps.

Offering A

Receivables & Billing Operations Assessment

A diagnostic of your order-to-cash, billing, and collections operation: a current-state map, the defects and delays quantified, and a prioritized fix list with an executive briefing.

Offering B · Lead

Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC) Process Improvement

A scoped DMAIC project on one defined financial process: define, measure, analyze, improve, and a control plan that keeps the gain in place after I leave.

Offering C

Program & PMO Support

Stand up governance, cadence, and KPI dashboards (Tableau, Power BI) for a cross-functional initiative, with one hand on the metrics and the stakeholders.

Why me

Fifteen-plus years running the operation, not just advising it.

The analysis is grounded in how receivables and billing actually behave, because I led them at enterprise scale. These are commercial results; no federal past performance is claimed.

  • Led order-to-cash and collections across a $1.5B-plus annual receivables portfolio.
  • Recovered $5M-plus in bad debt annually while holding a 36-day DSO.
  • Cut 360-plus-day aged balances by 90%.
  • Documented $500K to $1.8M in DMAIC process savings with durable control plans.
  • Built and led a four-person PMO with governance and KPI dashboards.
  • Built playbooks for 18-plus acquisition integrations. Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt; Google Project Management certificate.
About
KG

Kevin Gannan, Principal

KG HOBBES LLC is led by Kevin Gannan, a finance-operations leader with more than fifteen years running enterprise receivables, billing, and order-to-cash at scale.

A certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Kevin has recovered millions in bad debt annually, sustained best-in-class DSO, and delivered six- and seven-figure process savings through disciplined DMAIC improvement. He has stood up PMOs with governance and KPI dashboards, and built playbooks for eighteen-plus acquisition integrations.

He pairs that operational depth with modern analytics (Tableau, Power BI) and systems fluency (Oracle, NetSuite, Salesforce), and holds the Google Project Management certificate, with FinTech study underway at Cornell. Based in Boulder, Colorado, he delivers remotely as a single accountable expert: fixed scope, fixed price, and no hand-offs.

Federal fit

Built for the mandates agencies answer to.

Meeting today's financial-integrity mandates is process work: documenting how operations really run, finding the leakage, and installing controls that hold. That is the discipline of DMAIC.

Agency pressureWhat the engagement produces
OMB A-123 internal control and payment-integrity obligationsDocumented current-state controls, identified gaps, and a control plan that evidences sustained improvement.

Debt Collection Improvement Act referral timelinesA faster, cleaner receivables-to-referral cycle, with fewer aged balances slipping past the clock.
Audit and GAO Green Book risk-assessment expectationsProcess documentation and metrics an auditor can follow.
Shared-service standardization goalsRepeatable standard work that scales across the agencies a center serves.
How to engage

Fixed-price tiers. Price the deliverable, not the hours.

Planning ranges, adjusted per requirement. Each tier is a defined deliverable with a tight scope and a fast turnaround.

Seed
Under $15K

A single process map plus a rapid current-state assessment and quick-win list, or a standalone KPI dashboard. Designed to open a relationship.

Extended
$25K–$50K

A broader effort spanning a process family or several linked sub-processes, with a more developed control and roll-out plan.

Engagement starts with a 30-minute scoping call to pick one process and one success metric, followed by a one-page fixed-price proposal.
