Federal financial operations

Let’s get your receivables and billing back on track.

If collections are slow, billing is a mess, or your finance team is stuck mid-reorg, that’s the kind of thing I sort out. I’ve spent decades turning around challenged companies and leading complex financial-org change, and I’ll work with you directly to get order-to-cash running clean — and keep it that way.

What I do

Three services, each with a fixed price.

Every engagement has a defined scope, a set price, and a clear handoff. You know what you are getting and what it costs before we begin.

Receivables & billing assessment

I map how your order-to-cash, billing, and collections actually work today, measure where time and money are leaking, and give you a short, prioritized list of fixes with a briefing for leadership.

Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC) process improvement Lead offering

I take one financial process and run it through DMAIC: define the problem, measure it, find the root cause, make the change, and set up the controls that keep the gain in place after I am gone.

Program & PMO support

I set up the governance, the meeting cadence, and the KPI dashboards a cross-functional effort needs, and keep an eye on both the numbers and the people.

How it works

Three steps, start to finish.

No long proposals or open-ended retainers. We agree on the work up front, then I do it.

Scoping call

A 30-minute call to pick one process and one metric that matters to you.

Fixed-price proposal

A one-page proposal with the scope, the deliverable, and the price. No hourly surprises.

Work and handoff

I do the work and hand over a control plan, so the improvement holds after I leave.

About

Kevin Gannan

Principal, KG Hobbes LLC

I have spent more than fifteen years running enterprise receivables, billing, and order-to-cash operations.

As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I have recovered millions in bad debt a year, kept DSO low and steady, and delivered six- and seven-figure process savings through DMAIC work. I have stood up PMOs with governance and KPI dashboards, and built playbooks for more than eighteen acquisition integrations.

I pair that with everyday analytics tools (Tableau, Power BI) and the systems finance teams run on (Oracle, NetSuite, Salesforce). I hold the Google Project Management Professional Certificate and a FinTech certificate from Cornell’s SC Johnson College of Business (eCornell, 2026), and I am adding applied-AI coursework at eCornell to automate more of the receivables and collections work I have done by hand for years. I am based in Boulder, Colorado, and work remotely. You deal with one person the whole way through.

Federal fit

How this maps to federal requirements.

Most financial-integrity requirements come down to process work: document how operations really run, find the leakage, and put in controls that hold. That is what DMAIC is for.

Agency requirement	What the engagement produces
OMB A-123 internal control and payment-integrity obligations	Documented current-state controls, the gaps identified, and a control plan that shows sustained improvement.
Improper-payment risk and reduction targets (PIIA / Appendix C)	Root-cause analysis of error and exception sources, with a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Debt Collection Improvement Act referral timelines	A faster, cleaner receivables-to-referral cycle, with fewer aged balances slipping past the clock.
Audit and GAO Green Book risk-assessment expectations	Process documentation and metrics an auditor can follow.
Shared-service standardization goals	Repeatable standard work that scales across the agencies a center serves.

How to engage

Fixed-price tiers. You pay for the deliverable, not the hours.

These are planning ranges, adjusted to the requirement. Each tier is a defined deliverable with a tight scope.

Seed engagement

Under $15K

A single process map with a quick current-state assessment and a quick-win list, or a standalone KPI dashboard. A good way to start.

Core DMAIC · most requested

$15K–$25K

A full DMAIC engagement on one process: current-state map, root-cause analysis, an improvement roadmap with projected savings, and a control plan.

Extended engagement

$25K–$50K

A larger effort across a process family or several linked sub-processes, with a fuller control and roll-out plan.

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